Ted Lieu Plays AUDIO: "Trump Told Me to Bury It" — Patel Takes FIFTH Amendment | Rachel Maddow YouTube video by @Maddow Insider

If incompetence were a sport, this cabinet would be undefeated.

There were reporters in the room yelling out questions about it in the back, but Hegseth refused to call on them and never specifically addressed the bombing of the girls school.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.

Andy Ogles vile tweet saying "Muslims don't belong in American society." with the words; HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO A NAZI SAYING THAT “JEWS DON’T BELONG IN GERMAN SOCIETY”? THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
