Go, Cory!

Cory Booker just completely lost it on Kash Patel, rightfully so. We need more senators like Cory Booker. Who agrees?

Other Highlights from Patel’s Testimony:

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), citing the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and recent studies showing more political violence on the right, asks FBI Director Kash Patel to tell Trump and JD Vance to stop blaming the left for political violence in America.

BREAKING: During FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony, Senator @amyklobuchar calls out President Trump and JD Vance for trying to pretend that the political violence is mostly coming from the left.

Hey guys, our Democratic Senators are putting themselves out there for us. They do not have to take the Maga threats of violence, but they do & stay with their jobs. Adam Schiff, Corey Booker, Amy Klobuchar all Democratic Party Senators are brave and deserve kudos for today.

WOW — a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"

Schiff to Patel: "There are victims, like Virginia Giuffre, who have testified otherwise, and you're telling the American people today that Epstein's list is a single name and it's Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we're to believe?"

Kash Patel starts yelling over Adam Schiff as he asks him a series of questions about whether FBI agents have been fired simply because they worked in the J6 or other Trump cases

The Fascist Felon and His Brownshirts:

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go… pic.twitter.com/i2KStu6Vsg

🇦🇺 REPORTER: “How much wealthier are you now?” TRUMP: “My kids are running my businesses 🤥 … I’m building a ballroom…” 🇦🇺 REPORTER: “Is it appropriate for a president to be doing so many business deals while in office?” TRUMP: “You’re hurting Australia right now.”🤔
