Trump’s claim that Iran was to blame for a deadly strike on an Iranian girls school is contradicted by video footage showing US was likely to blame. I asked him if the US would now accept responsibility — and he walked back his claim and said it’s being investigated.

When Senate passed big bill, Lisa Murkowski said: “This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the president’s desk.” But House jammed it through. Asked her if it was naive to think House would change it “It was not naive to suggest that it could have happened.”
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, who has called on Trump to fire Secretary Noem and senior adviser Stephen Miller, on Trump calling him a “loser.” “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”
New — @insidepolitics 8aET and 11aET on @cnn — Hakeem Jeffries sits down with me on the gerrymandering wars. His battle with a top MD Dem. And the huge sums they plan to spend in VA. How he sees his path to become speaker — Noem latest — Epstein fallout — How long the DHS shutdown will last
GOP frustration grows at Musk as he steps up his attacks and puts Rs on defensive amid deficit fears. But moderates like Murkowksi wary of deeper cuts, as hardliners say they won’t accept less from Senate. Senate Rs need to cut deeper, Chip Roy warns, “or the bill's dead.”

It’s been (shall we say) an eventful year on Capitol Hill. Here’s a taste of it — when members in both parties don’t answer questions, which often are the most revealing moments.
Is Trump losing his grip on GOP after Indiana Rs delivered him a major rebuke amid his furious pressure campaign to gerrymander House district lines? “Not at all,” Speaker Johnson tells me, denying it was even a pressure campaign
Asked Speaker Johnson about Trump’s post about Dems’ ‘seditious behavior’ and about that being ‘punishable by death,” Speaker Johnson takes no issue with Trump’s statements and criticizes Democrats’ rhetoric as “wildly inappropriate.”
Dem Sen. Andy Kim to me after Senate vote: “What just happened in the Senate chamber was an absolute disgrace. I can't stress it enough,” saying it’s “very profoundly disturbing” to see bill passed in chamber where McCain voted to block repeal. “I'm just really gutted right now.”

Excerpt from White Tiger (Belyy tigr; 2012). The film ends with Hitler saying, "But we simply found the courage to carry out what Europe dreamed of doing. They never loved the Jews!" This has an awful ring of truth—& a reason Europe loves Israel today no matter what: it doesn't want the Jews back.
