Tense moment at the UN Security Council emergency meeting right now: Ukraine ambassador stares dead in the eyes of the Russian ambassador asking him to go on the record and say that Russia will not bomb Ukrainian cities. Russian ambassador stays silent.

Large senate cafeteria is shut down due to large protests by pro Gaza protesters.

I'm told Police are arresting and escorting some out.

REP OMAR just shushed me when I asked her if she regrets her comments calling some Jewish students “pro-genocide.” She was walking up late to a press conference already underway.
‘Grateful’ isn’t a good enough word to describe how I feel every election year.
So imagine my excitement to join the Fox Politics Team for 2024!

I can’t support a bill that doesn’t secure the border, provides taxpayer funded lawyers to illegal immigrants and gives billions to radical open borders groups. I’m a no.

HUGE news this AM: 400 Americans have been allowed to leave Gaza and cross the Rafah border into Egypt. Including the Okal family from Boston. They have a 1 year old son and had basically run out of water.
GREAT NEWS.
This is exactly why I got OUT of Navy Yard and DC. People getting mugged, shot dead right outside my apt
DC crime is unreal. Never felt this unsafe in New York. And nothing is done about it.
COTTON: “The only answer to these attacks must be devastating military retaliation against Iran’s terrorist forces, both in Iran and across the Middle East. Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward unworthy of being commander-in-chief.”
JOHNSON tells
@kayleighmcenany
he'll pay for Israel aid by taking "some of the money that has been set aside for the rebuilding and bulking up the IRS. Right now, we have about $67 billion in that fund. And we'll... try to take the $14.5 necessary for this... urgent need."

No American should want to kill another American. Period.
Our differences do not justify it.
We don’t need any more people ratcheting up tensions and hate. We need people to start bringing the temperature down.
@aishahhasnie
Aishah, the empathy you showed for the Jewish man when co-anchoring with John Roberts was beautiful. You could tell it touched his heart when you said that for every one person who is acting hateful there are hundreds more standing with him. Thank you!
Just evacuated from the Capitol. Very scary. But everyone who was with me in the Russell rotunda is okay.
We were told to first go to a safe space and then ordered to evacuate while Cap police had guns drawn.
Can’t wait to watch Sen. Tim Scott stump for Trump in SC.
Great opportunity to audition for VP and perhaps deliver what other potentials won’t be able to.
He got out of this race early.
Now he’s engaged.
I dk… Spidey sense says keep your eye on him.
BREAKING
Absolute mayhem outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC.
Ceasefire advocates who were protesting and blocking the doors of the DNC building are being pulled off, thrown down, and arrested by law enforcement.
Maybe it’s a fear of commitment.
Ya know… like DC men.
Like maybe if they thought it was only a 3 month term, they’d be more inclined to try someone out.
No?
PAUL: "This is complete capitulation on the border, as if we don't really care about our border, but we care about Ukraine's border... our base doesn't agree with that... it’s very, very unpopular, and I just consider it my job to make sure everybody at home knows."
PAUL on forcing senate to go through regular order on $95B foreign aid package: "We're going to beat the crap out of them for being for someone else's border and not our own."

- Source close to Tony Ornato says he did NOT brief Cassidy Hutchinson on any allegations that Trump grabbed or attempted to grab the steering wheel. The source says Ornato watched the hearing yesterday and was shocked when she made the allegation.
(Thread) Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these “protestors” had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict
So let me get this straight... this is literally the same thing Kevin McCarthy was burned at the stake for? Only half the gov't is funded thru Jan, the rest thru Feb. 🧐
