I feel like what makes HAL scary is how long he took to respond. Almost as if despite being a powerful computer, this was one formula he couldn't solve that quickly, as if he was more human than machine.

EXCLUSIVE: Jakiyra Metcalf, Kaiyden Caldwell and Victoria Johnson, freshmen at the University of Mississippi, say they are hurt, devastated and disheartened by the actions captured by their Ring doorbell camera showing two White students making monkey gestures and sounds outside their apartment on Friday.
The three students and Victoria’s mother, Chiquita Laó, told @Jerickaduncan about discovering the footage and how they feel about the apology issued by one of the women: "I appreciate the apology, but I feel like it still doesn't change what happened."

Leader @HakeemJeffries: I think the fact that the minimum wage has been unchanged in 20 years and remains $7.25 an hour is unacceptable, un-American and it's unconscionable.
Raising the minimum wage is something that we will lean into in the next Congress.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin just went on live TV and made clear that it is REPUBLICANS who have turned the government into an apparatus of retribution. Every time Republicans scream about RETRIBUTION, it's an admission. Make sure every American sees this.

House Democrats have won 258 seats and counting.
This is the largest majority that any party has had this century.
News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.
“It’s bigger than Watergate.”
“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”
“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”
“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”
“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”
“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”
“And some of them took that deal.”
“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”
“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”
“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
Joseph Strickland retweeted
Do we hold Trump accountable for his corruption and unconstitutional actions? Absolutely.
But we cannot stop there.
We must address the economic crises facing working families.
It’s not acceptable that 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck while billionaires get richer.

Massie introduces articles of impeachment against Hegseth on the House floor and details the charges

Hakeem Jeffries was just asked if he had any interest in working with new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. His answer is direct:
"No. Stephen Miller is a stone-cold racist. His track record speaks for itself, and I've zero interest in working with that kind of individual."

BREAKING: Leader @HakeemJeffries announces support for impeaching Pete Hegseth:
“The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe.
Pete Hegseth has got to go.”
Joseph Strickland retweeted
Jeffries: "We're committed to moving the first 100 days to keep our word ... to bring about accountability, because we've seen unprecedented corruption that's been visited upon the American people. And we are committed to holding the crooks accountable and making sure that Congress functions like a separate and co-equal branch of government."

Preach my brother
WATCH: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jamie Raskin says Democrats are going to take back power from the Executive Branch:
“We have the power to declare war, not Donald Trump. We have got the power to regulate federal buildings. If the president can bulldoze the east wing, he can bulldoze the west wing. It is not his house. It is our house, it belongs to the people, and Congress governs it.”

Oversight Democrats are ready to take on the crooks, the con men, and the Trump crime family. Lawyer up.

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands.
His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.
Fire him today.

BREAKING: In an incredible moment after taking back power, Congressman Ted Lieu just announced that Democrats first two priorities will be ending Trump's stupid war in Iran and his insane tariffs. Let's go!

Deporting people to countries where they could face persecution, torture, or even death is not only illegal, it is also cruel and dangerous. The Trump admin must halt these flights.
We must uphold our American values and not abandon people to autocratic regimes.

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.
Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️
Joseph Strickland retweeted
House Democrats are in the fight to bring government back from the brink of authoritarianism. We will shine a light on President Trump's quid pro quo, coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption and renew American government as an instrument for the common good.
Joseph Strickland retweeted
I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan.
I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all.
He is a danger to the entire world.
He must be impeached.
