Given the opportunity, Gabbard doesn't say she disagrees with Joe Kent's resignation statement.
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik read part of the statement of the resignation of Joe Kent, when he wrote: "'Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America first platform and pro-war sentiments to encourage war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States and that you should strike now. There was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and was the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into a disastrous Iraq war.'"
Stefanik said she "cannot say how much I disagree with that statement. Do you agree or disagree with what this letter was put out by former director Kent?"
"He said a lot of things in that letter," Gabbard said. "Ultimately, we have provided the president with the intelligence assessments and the president is elected by the American people and makes his own decisions based on the information that's available to him.
Stefanik asked Gabbard if that statement Kent made concerns her.
"Yes," was all Gabbard responded.

Minnesota GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices:
"Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again. Let's just try to be patriots about this"
danny@dabbs346
Oh my god. On the radio, NRSC-endorsed Michele Tafoya says that gas prices are spiking because of the Iran war that she supports and that people should “take one less trip to Starbuck’s” and to “just try to be patriots” about it. #mnsen

U.S. Senator John Fetterman@SenFettermanPA
In January, I called on the president to fire Noem—and he did. I truly approached the confirmation of my colleague and friend, Senator Mullin, with an open-mind. We need a leader at DHS. We must reopen DHS. My AYE is rooted in a strong committed, constructive working relationship with Senator Mullin for our nation’s security.

8-7, Senate Homeland Security Committee votes to advance Mullin's nomination to lead DHS
Fetterman voted yes
Paul voted no

Hegseth is not denying WaPo report that Pentagon is asking $200B for Iran War:

SCOOP!!! Trump administration considering deploying thousands of additional troops to the Middle East as the military prepares options for the possible next phase of the Iran war. One option for securing the Strait of Hormuz includes deploying troops to Iranian shores. w/@idreesali114

Incredibly hard to see 1) Dems ever voting for a supplemental of this size and 2) Republicans finding offsets to satisfy reconciliation rules that don’t involve even bigger safety net cuts
