Lauren Boebert on Trump wanting a primary challenge against her and beating Massie: “Well, I can’t be primaried. My primary is locked in, so I support the president and we're moving forward. So, I stood by the president, I stand by my friend, and I got, I got work to do.”

It feels a little too on the nose that as Springsteen is giving this speech about civility and democracy and the feeling of alienation toward neighbors, a guy next to me yells “Fuck you, Bruce, you suck.”

Pat Ryan goes off on House Republicans pulling the War Powers vote, calling them “Chickenhawk motherfuckers.”

Before the last recess, Nancy Mace told me she was open to voting for the Massie-Khanna War Powers resolution on Iran. She now says she wants to give Trump time “If we were still bombing Iran every day, Hundreds, 1000s of missiles. I think it's a different story.”

Me: What is your response to President Trump and Vice President Vance's criticism of Pope Leo? Mike Johnson: "A pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want, but obviously, if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response."

AOC blasts Trump calling for a genocide of Iran “Trump, I want to be clear, he not only threatened a genocide, he is continuing to threaten a genocide against the Iranian people.”

AOC criticizes the fact that it took Swalwell’s resignation to trigger Gonzales’s: “what changed today, that he gets to resign today, as opposed to last week, two weeks ago, three weeks ago? and the difference was that they were waiting on some political horse trade of a number.

Trying something new where I discuss the news and my latest columns with video accompanying it. Let me know what you think and if you want more.

While everyone is focusing on Israel's role in this way, @four4thefire.bsky.social and I pointed out the big actors who have much more money and hate Iran more: The Arab Gulf states and Gulf Cooperation Council.
