Himes: I got a little bit more of an up-close-and-personal look at some of the damage that was done. I’ll tell you what: the Iranians hit our embassies. They hit pretty much all of our military facilities in the area.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.
We won. This is from my closing statement.
There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc.
Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need.
