Goldman: No no no.. let’s not listen to the FBI director. Let’s listen to— sorry what’s your title? Senior writer at Townhall.

Crockett: My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping DC streets crime free. They can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime free.. My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 counts…

Crockett: I am so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering the front runner has just been found liable for sexual abuse..

The House Oversight Committee loves to talk about crime in the District of Columbia. You know what crime they don’t love to talk about? Gun violence.

Do it! He is THE up and coming superstar. I well remember hearing him on MSNBC (usually Nicolle Wallace) years ago and thinking, "what a stilted dude." Wow, has he blossomed.

Where did the charisma come from? And the emotion? I love it.

I will get to it in the near future. Thread title suggestions welcomed, I'm not as clever as the rest of you. But yeah, he's just amazingly effective in the committees. I don't think he's on the judiciary committee, a pity if they do get Durham up there to testify.

What's wrong with "Rep Dan Goldman" as a title?

He may not be on the Judiciary Committee, but can't then invite him in for the day? I know the Rs do that all the time w Jordan and others, and I think the Dems did that for the "Field Trip."

Republicans groan when a reporter asks McCarthy if he's open to considering a tax increase on the wealthy

"I also know in America you're innocent until proven guilty" -- McCarthy on George Santos

McCarthy then tries out some Adam Schiff whataboutism

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduces a resolution to expel Adam Schiff from Congress based on the Durham Report.

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan bill set to be unveiled Thursday by Reps. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., would block members of Congress from getting paid if the U.S. enters debt default or if the government shuts down.

The No Pay for Congress During Default or Shutdown Act, shared in advance with NBC News, would withhold lawmakers' pay for the duration of a debt limit breach or lapse in federal funding, an attempt to motivate legislators to prevent either situation.

The bill comes amid growing fears that the divided Congress may not meet the June 1 deadline set by the Treasury Department to raise the debt limit or risk a catastrophic default on U.S. obligations. And the proposal, from two politically vulnerable members in competitive districts, represents a populist move to channel voter anger toward Congress, which is strong among both parties’ bases.

"If Congress can’t fulfill basic obligations tied to the strength and security of our country, lawmakers should not be rewarded with our salaries until we do our jobs," Spanberger said.
