I asked Joni Ernst about Iowa’s own Caitlin Clark getting paid less than a men’s first round draft pick and she said “I think that’s crap.”

Freeing Austin Tice would be a nice start.

Really excited to get to work with everyone at NOTUS, who I already feel like I’ve been working with for more than a decade.

Marc Short is the kind of conservative Democrats hope abandon Trump: was loyal to him, but disgusted with what happened on Jan. 6.

Short has spent weeks leading debates with students on the future of his party, while having a similar debate with himself. notus.org/trump-2024/mar…

During the intros, AOC talked about the “peaceful student-led protests” at Columbia & other colleges, with an emphasis from her on the word peaceful

At top of speech, Biden said he learned a “long time ago — listen to that lady”

Her and Biden had a quick chat after his remarks

Jewish Reps. Josh Gottheimer, Dan Goldman and Jared Moskowitz are planning to go to Columbia University today to walk with and speak to Jewish students, spoxes for the three members tell me and Erin Doherty

The lack of staffers with TS/SCI clearance frustrates the House of Representatives' ability to engage in vital oversight and informed decision-making.

It's been a problem for FISA section 702 reform -- and also for Congress's work on matters of war and peace.

“The U.S. begged [Israel] not to do it,” said one of the U.S. officials. “At this point, it’s truly embarrassing how much Israel does not listen to us, but yet this doesn’t keep President Biden from blind fealty.” politico.com/news/2024/04/1…

'It's a Friday afternoon at one o'clock, I still got a tie and suit on. That's a better indication of urgency than any statement.' Senator Mark Warner on the current sense of urgency on FISA and aid bills in Congress.

Congress — the House in particular — remains in the dark when it legislates on intelligence issues, frozen out by intelligence agencies who don’t fully trust rank-and-file legislators and deprived of staff with high level clearances. w/John T. Seward
