Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal. Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

Trump just said "millions" have been killed by fentanyl. Not so. About 70K annually in past few years. Tragic number, indeed. But he's way off.
