Summary

Kristi Noem faced real pushback from Democrats (finally), as lawmakers grilled her over her growing resume of poor decisions. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. tried to hold court at his own hearing only to be disrupted by protesters and pressed by lawmakers who actually still believe in facts. Imagine that. And of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene is back at it. This time trying to submit personal opinions as actual evidence in a hearing. Thankfully, Dems have had enough and are pushing back hard. From misinformation to courtroom cosplay, today’s political drama proves one thing: the chaos isn’t slowing down, but at least someone’s finally fighting back.
