WATCH: here's the video of when 2 dozen GOP members, led by
@mattgaetz
entered the secure hearing room (SCIF) to interrupt witness testimony in the
#ImpeachmentInquiry
as they demand access, despite not being committee members. They're complaining it's a "Soviet-style process".
@mattgaetz
While they definitely intended to disrupt proceedings and raised their voices (I was there--I shot this video) 'stormed the room' may be a bit too dramatic a description as you can see.

BREAKING: Dept of justice tells me it has recovered texts from FBI agents that had been missing, regarding the Russia investigation. The system did not archive them—however, the old cell phones have been located and contents are now being reviewed.

"There's never enough,"

tells me, but "It is going to be a game changer." Buttigieg & the team hit the road to unveil new measures to tackle infrastructure, inflation & supply chain logjams.
Donald Trump asked all Republicans to vote for McCarthy as Speaker and end this standoff. McCarthy actually lost ground. Trump's role in the GOP keeps eroding.
Today I turn 50. I genuinely dreaded it. But I woke up deep in the Himalayas, the clouds parted & provided my first view of Everest’s peak (over my shoulder). It was nature’s gift. I’ll never take for granted the special moments I’ve had & hope for more ahead. The trek goes on.
This is brilliant.
May 1981. President Ronald Reagan is giving a speech at an Air Force base in West Berlin when a balloon pops loudly. Only two months previously, the President had been shot in an attempt on his life, not long after beginning his first term.

Not taking any political side here but I personally know fantastic, highly qualified doctors who got into MD programs but instead chose D.O. for reasons that fit them best. There’s plenty of other reasons to criticize the administration. The MD vs DO argument may not be the one.
NOW: Jennifer Granholm is now Secretary Granholm, after her swearing in by

Harris. She'll take over the Energy Dept at a time when the nation is at a crossroads over how to balance renewables vs. fossil fuels.

For perspective, this was 4 years ago. This is not a new war. Some 14,000 Ukrainians have died so far. The fighting has been daily since 2014.

Yang was pushed offstage before in part because of a December polling drought. And then he turns around and gets the four polls he would need to qualify in a single ten-hour period.

My dad is 81 & my mom 79. He walked 8.6 miles yesterday through Santa Fe hill country. She closed all three rings on her Apple Watch. Meaning? I no longer have any excuses (and they’re amazing).
A truly wonderful way to end the week! Thanks to everyone for the support, trust, help, & patience in covering (and tuning in to watch) this crazy world of politics.
