Underwood: This represents the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history. The largest cut to food assistance in U.S. history. Literally, they are stealing food out of the mouths of hungry kids to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. It is cruel. It is anti-American. And it is just plain wrong.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the names of individuals to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.
