What are the consequences if Wall Street gets quicker access to Trump's Truth Social posts? @elliotcwilliams @BradOnMessage @adrienneelrod @LACaldwellDC debate ⬇️

"This did not happen when we were kids. This is happening more frequently because the Earth is getting more hot. Now, we can fight all we want about the causes of that," @elliotcwilliams says after Trump slammed Canada for its wildfire smoke. "And we can wag our fingers at Canada all we want, but this is going to keep happening until the more systemic issue that we have gets fixed."

.@RajaForIL says Markwayne Mullin is "way out of bounds" after the DHS Secretary threatened fines or jail time for state officials who do not cooperate with the administration's election security demands. "This is something that's going to be litigated," he adds.

"The greatest securing factor about American elections compared to others around the world is that we have 9,000 separate election jurisdictions. It is almost impossible to come up with some way to have a nationally impactful voter fraud," @SenatorCarter says after Trump's election speech. "In a country like Venezuela... they nationalized the counting process, and that was what allowed them to manipulate the results."

"Have your opponents then conceded to you?" @kasie asks @RepGarretGraves ahead of President Trump's speech about election integrity tonight. "They called you and said, hey, you know, like, thanks for a good race. Congratulations. You won. Like, when did it get to be so hard, right? Like sporting events are won and lost. So are elections." ⬇️

.@RepSuhas on Todd Blanche's meeting with Epstein victims: "He's shirked that duty until now, until it politically benefits him... until a U.S. Senator says he won't confirm him until they do so."

.@kasie asks House Oversight's @RepSuhas if he has seen any evidence to back JD Vance's claim that Jeffrey Epstein could have had ties to the CIA or Mossad.  "No. Not quite. And now he's an OG cover-up person on Epstein files," he says.

"As an emergency doctor, let me just tell you the one thing we see a lot of is complications from overtreatment," Dr. Jeremy Faust says in response to Secretary Hegseth's new testosterone screening program, adding that when he looked into it, "people with low testosterone without symptoms, they do not benefit from supplementation."

"I'll never say never. If a bunch of goobers run for president, and I think I could beat them and I'd be a better president, yeah, I might do it," @SenJohnKennedy says of a potential 2028 presidential run. "I could catch a wild hair and do it."

"[Blanche's] nomination could die," @SenJohnKennedy tells @kasie after questioning the acting Attorney General, adding that he believes the DOJ's "anti-weaponization" fund is dead, even if Trump may not admit that out loud.

.@SenJohnKennedy dismisses Jay Clayton's reluctance to give a clear answer on who won the 2020 presidential election as a "big game" played by Democrats "because they want to see the president twist off at one of his own nominees."

"Super not normal," Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe says in reaction to an exclusive CNN report that some White House officials were asked to turn over their phones as Susie Wiles and Kash Patel intensify their probe into leaks about Trump's Air Force One.

"The sky is blue. Biden won in 2020. Trump lost in 2020. Biden lost in 2024. Trump won in 2024. And yet," @kasie reacts after Dem. Senators had to repeatedly press Trump's DNI nominee Jay Clayton over who won the 2020 election. "If I could say the F-word on air, I would," @XochitlHinojosa adds.

Ahead of President Trump's Thursday address about "free and fair elections," GOP @RepDonBacon tells @kasie he believes all sitting lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been "rightfully" elected. ⬇️

"I think the president maybe got out ahead of his team," GOP @RepDonBacon says of Trump's now-scrapped plan to charge a toll in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that he was right to correct it.

"I did think immediately, like, this is a blow to Stephen Miller," @anniekarni says after ICE pauses most traffic stops following two deadly shootings. "Even a temporary pause is an admission that this has gone too far." W/ @BradOnMessage @elliotcwilliams @MoElleithee

WATCH: @kasie looks back fondly on her time chasing Senator Lindsey Graham down the halls of Congress, on the campaign trail, and, on one occasion, at the skeet shooting range. ⬇️

.@ScottJennings, who was previously a longtime adviser to Mitch McConnell, reacts to a new video showing EMS loading the Senator into an ambulance. "They do need to tell the people of Kentucky what's going on... my expectation is sometime before Monday you're going to hear from him," he tells @kasie.

"F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the Hearts", Graham Platner writes in the final line of a letter announcing his formal withdrawal from the Maine Senate race. "Good riddance," @XochitlHinojosa reacts.
