CIA Director: "CIA executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians, who were desperately hunting for our airmen. On Saturday morning, we achieved our primary objective by finding and providing confirmation that one of America’s best and bravest was alive... Following the successful exfiltration on Saturday night, our intelligence reflects that the Iranians were embarrassed, and ultimately humiliated by the success of this audacious rescue mission."

Two legends whose love for Jesus is contagious. My day is made after I hear them preach!!

KID ROCK: "They can come after me all they want. I could care less... You come after my fans, who are arguably outside of our military, the best this country has to offer. Hardworking people who just want to have fun... I mean, this is a joke and people are pissed off about it." @KidRock is calling out corporate callousness after leaked messages show Live Nation staffers bragging about price gouging: "robbing them blind, baby... That's how we do it."

When True, a five-year-old under social services, was dropped off for heart surgery at Children’s Nebraska, anesthesiologist Dr. Amy Beethe found him alone in pre-op. Moved by his situation, she decided he needed a stable home. But what she and her husband, Ryan, offered went far beyond that. @SteveHartmanCBS shares the story of a doctor for whom saving lives is more than just her job. cbsn.ws/3PBJWa2

President Trump gave me one mission – take care of Veterans. I’m doing just that. From reducing the disability backlog to opening 33 new clinics to creating a National Center for Warrior Independence in LA for our homeless Veterans, we’re making sure our Veterans are getting the care and benefits they have earned.

BIG NEWS! We're projecting cherry blossom Peak Bloom to arrive between March 29 – April 1 this year. Extraordinary warm or cool temperatures have resulted in Peak Bloom as early as March 15 (1990) and as late as April 18 (1958). 🌸🌸🌸 #CherryBlossom #BloomWatch

Rep. Roy in @RulesReps: “Now we're sitting here, and we're listening to nonsense about health care, where my colleagues on the other side of the aisle sit here saying, 'Well, you guys aren't doing anything about the massive, expensive cost of health care.' Why do you think it's expensive? Because you literally cut a deal with insurance companies to run health care... And yet, Republicans will complain about it, and then they'll offer milquetoast garbage like we're offering this week, and then go home at Christmas and say, 'Look at what we're doing, we’re campaigning on reducing health care.' Well, congratulations. At some point people will look at this body and say, 'Maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of the House and all 100 members of the Senate, and start over, because Congress is literally failing the American people.'”
