Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.
The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.
Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley very strong on scenes in Belfast:
"I was watching a bit of the news last night, and I can't remember what channel it was, but a journalist was talking about 'these protesters.'
"I thought, that isn't a protest. People are setting fire to cars. That's not a protest. That's violent disorder, that's criminality. I really feel for Northern Ireland colleagues who are wrestling with that. It's really, really difficult.
"We live in these volatile times and, some of what goes on online whips up, sentiment on the street.
"We know that Russian state actors, Iranian state actors, they want to sow discord on the streets of the UK. So this is a really complex issue we're wrestling with. So you've got very polarised debates in the UK, and you've got other people overseas who want to drive wedge issues to create disorder, and you've got the great men and women of Police Service Northern Ireland on the streets in the middle of that, trying to sort of protect people and stop people burning down houses and things. It's awful."
SYKES: Are you aware the US was taking millions of barrels of oil from Iran?
WRIGHT: We are preventing the flow of Iranian oil
SYKES: That is not what I asked you. Can I play some audio?
*plays audio of Trump admitting the US is stealing Iranian oil*
WRIGHT: I think the president is talking casually
SYKES: Do you think that it's appropriate to 'talk casually' about war?
WRIGHT: I think you talk to all different audiences and you talk in all different styles
SYKES: There are 13 service members who are dead
WRIGHT: He treats this war deadly serious
SYKES: You just said he was speaking casually
WRIGHT: He speaks 20 hours a day
Note to self-
This is called a 'Star biscuit', NOT a 'chocolate starfish' like you have just asked for in Greggs.
Someone behind me lol'd real hard, woman serving very quickly corrected me 💀
If you think California is taking a while to count votes, wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein files…
