The great thing about hearings when those asking the questions are in their A game as is Sen Mark Kelly here, that we see EXACTLY how this regime operates.
There is no better example that NOTHING matters except the wants of a corrupt president.
The U.S. spends hundreds of billions of dollars on intelligence gathering, assessment and analysis. Those meant to be advising the so called leader of the free world are frightened to even tell the truth in a hearing, for fear of upsetting a petulant child who has little intention of listening to anything they have to say.
The question is, did they fail to tell Trump there was no imminent nuclear threat to the U.S. for fear of losing their job, or did Trump ignore their warnings?
The inference here is that this intelligence data is only available to US citizens if they make a donation to Trump, and these intelligence officials paid by US taxpayers are protecting Trump’s paywall by withholding critical information in a public hearing.
God bless America

"Since you don't have the numbers ... " -- Himes makes Kash Patel squirm over questions about how many non-citizens are under investigation for voter fraud (the number is obviously very very few if any)
I was sitting in my car crying in the Target parking lot. Just got the call. Didn't get the job. Third interview that month. Rejection after rejection. Felt like I'd never catch a break. This old man knocked on my window. Startled me. He was holding something. I rolled down the window. "Sorry to bother you dear, but you dropped this." Handed me a twenty dollar bill. I looked at it confused. "That's not mine." He smiled. "Yes it is. You
dropped it getting out of your car. Have a better day." Walked away before I could argue.
I knew what he did. There was no twenty. He saw me crying and wanted to help without embarrassing me. Sat there holding that twenty dollar bill sobbing even harder. But different tears. Good ones.
Used it to buy groceries that week when I was almost out of food. Got a job two weeks later. Better than the one I didn't get.
First paycheck I withdrew a twenty. Kept it in my wallet. Waited for the right moment.
Found it a month later. Woman at the gas station. Card declined. Counting change. Crying quietly. Walked over. "Excuse me. You dropped this." Handed her the twenty. She looked confused. "I don't think—" "You dropped it by your car. Have a better day." Walked away like that old man did.
Saw her face in my rearview mirror. Same tears I had. The good kind.
@SportsRadioWIP Herb getting this far is a joke. It’s like people in high school voting for someone to win homecoming king just because it would be funny if he won. I literally have to switch the station when he calls, I can’t stand listening to his nonsense
“We’re trying to say the way he died washes away the way he lived.”
As @GinoBulso tries to make a “CHARLIE KIRK DAY” in TN Reps @brotherjones_ & @dixie4tn list his “racist” statements (attacking the Civil Rights Act, MLK, etc) and say he was divisive, undeserving of the honor.
WATCH — @SenPeterWelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman @TriciaOhio’s husband.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding
She did chores all week so I owe her $10
I hand her $7
> this isn't $10
"right, I withheld the rest"
> what does that mean
"I kept $3 of your money"
> but it's my money
"It was your money"
> what are you even doing with it?
"Funding household infrastructure"
> what
"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"
> you're charging me for the hallway
"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"
> you're my dad. you're supposed to---
"I'm also your government"
> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway
"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"
> it's a hallway. It's already there
"For now"
She asks what else the $3 covers
"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"
> dispute resolution?
"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"
> that's just parenting
"That's the Department of Justice"
> what about meals. You already feed me
"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"
> I'm your daughter
"Which is why you're currently enrolled"
She wants to see where the money goes
I tell her that would require a FOIA request
> what's that
"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"
> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?
"Could be longer. We're understaffed"
> there's two of you
She asks how she gets any of it back
"It's already spent"
> you spent my money already?
"We had a budget shortfall"
> you just took it 20 seconds ago
"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"
> so I'm not getting it back
"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"
> of my own money
"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"
> you know how much I made. You paid me
"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"
> so you already know the answer
"The point is compliance"
She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong
"Penalty"
> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?
"We could set up a payment plan"
> I'm 8
"Monthly installments. Very manageable"
> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me
"Now you're getting it"
> I want to talk to mom
"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"
She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion
Slammed the door
That's my little citizen
I've never been more proud
This is a message everyone needs to hear. We've been warning that history is repeating itself—does any of this sound familiar? Now is the moment to stand up. If not now, it might be too late later. #DemsUnited
In case you're still on the fence about the fascist authoritarian Trump regime being a criminal cabal of billionaires whose only interest in working in government is to plunder and pillage American working class families. 😳👇
REP. SEWELL: “How many cases of voter fraud have there been in your state of Wyoming in the last 20 years?”
REPUBLICAN SOS @ChuckForWyoming: “That’s sort of a circular question...” 🤔
@RepTerriSewell: “Only ONE.”
