    Massie: &quot;I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don&#39;t know.&quot;

    Susie Wiles is now the co-chair of the Shield of the Americas with Kristi Noem (kidding, but it&#39;s notable that Trump refuses to actually part ways with people who know about all his criming, and instead gives them cushy fake jobs so they don&#39;t dish)

    Peggy Flanagan: &quot;You said no more masked goons shooting our neighbors and terrorizing our communities. You said no more ballrooms, no more bombs or tax breaks for billionaires. The grift stops now. And the taking back our country from the grip of the most corrupt administration in our nation&#39;s history starts tonight ... When Minnesotans fight for one another, we can inspire a nation to join that fight. Because when you come for one of us, you come for all of us.&quot;

    Ossoff: &quot;The abuses of federal power, the misconduct is unprecedented. That&#39;s why Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there&#39;s a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed&quot;

    😳 here&#39;s pictures taken today of Trump&#39;s right and left hands. Both are looking really bad, and he&#39;s using makeup on each of them to try to mask it (note how the left one is now looking just as nasty as the right one -- that&#39;s new) (Aaron Schwartz/Getty)

    JD Vance just held an outrageous news conference in which he defended Ramaswamy&#39;s vile attacks on Amy Acton, agreed with Steve Witkoff&#39;s assessment of Putin as a &quot;humanitarian,&quot; and had the gall to claim &quot;there is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump&quot; Here&#39;s a supercut:

    New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) &quot;Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran, North Korea, and China in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous, and it will leave a lasting moral stain on the United States. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud.&quot; https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-putin-deal-ukraine

    Q: Americans are firmly against this war--- TRUMP: Well, Americans aren&#39;t against the war. A poll just came out. Americans don&#39;t want high gasoline prices, but they&#39;re not against the war. That just came out loud and clear in a poll.

    Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he&#39;s reading: &quot;Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second.&quot;

    New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? &quot;Data shows that the United States is on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, and for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of government officials might spend the next six months in a freezing warehouse without legal counsel, eating moldy bologna sandwiches and praying that they won’t die of disease, neglect, or just an old-fashioned beating by the guards.&quot; https://www.p...

    Markwayne Mullin reveals that the Trump administration is trying to build a RICO case against Ilhan Omar: &quot;There was conspiracy to deceive the American government, and therefore everything else that came in with it could then be looked at as the same case ... the statute of limitations on things, they don&#39;t apply&quot;

    &quot;Republicans understand that people aren’t going to read the documents behind their conspiracy theories. The truth is hard to understand and often involves complexity and nuance. They’re able to win the narrative war that way, and it’s having real consequences on people’s lives.&quot; https://www.publicnotice.co/p/nina-jankowicz-interview-trump

    WELKER: Some Americans worry you can only make Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. Would you need to do that? EL-SAYED: Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, instead you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare that you wouldn&#39;t lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that kind of system if we knew our healthcare would be free at the point of care.
