Sen. Warren: "Secretary Bessent, you said last year if any private citizen traded the way members of Congress do, 'the SEC would be knocking on their door.' ... should the SEC be knocking on President Trump's door?" Bessent: "I would support you getting your house in order."

"He's gone after the four who crossed him on Epstein... He hasn't gone after everyone who's crossed him on everything." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social say Trump’s selective targeting of those who pushed to release the Epstein files is another sign of an ongoing cover-up.
"A little from column A and a little from column B." "I’ve stopped using the words moderate and progressive when we talk about which direction the party needs to move—because it’s neither." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @adamjentleson.bsky.social discuss the rise of heterodox voters.
"Doesn't the DOJ have bigger fish to fry? Drug trafficking, sex trafficking, all of these things. And instead of focusing on these big problems, we're focused on E. Jean Carroll." Lis Smith and @timmiller.bsky.social on outrage over Trump using the DOJ to re-victimize one of his enemies.
.@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "This is somebody who will break the law for Trump. Cornyn will mutter under his breath that he doesn't like some of the things that Trump is doing, but Paxton will go to all the lengths to clear whatever pesky laws might be in the way of what Donald Trump wants."
"I think JD Vance, again, represents somebody who he doesn't even recognize anymore... JD Vance before he was VP and the JD Vance now, it's completely two different people. And so I think he's having a soul crisis." @brotherjones.bsky.social on Vance exposing America’s two-tiered justice system.

"The notion that we're in a place where the type of thing that those guys are offering is what people want—it's where the juice is in politics. People want somebody that is bucking the status quo." @timmiller.bsky.social on Spencer Pratt, Graham Platner, and what voters are actually craving.

Bessent on Trump IRS settlement: "Trump is a great American who has endured more than 10 years of nonstop harassment and weaponization from federal and state government actors…No American should be targeted for political reasons…I'm going to have to refer any questions to acting AG Todd Blanche."
"We're not corporate media... We live and die with our readers and our listeners, and we respond to them—that's who we answer to." @jvl.bsky.social on the billionaire hollowing-out of legacy media, the death of '60 Minutes' as we know it, and why supporting independent journalism matters now.
