"First, FBI director Kash Patel demonstrated before the Senate Judiciary Committee why you don't hire internet trolls to run important federal law-enforcement. He got in a noisy wrangle with Senator Mazie Hirono, and Senator Richard Blumenthal told him he wasn't to be believed, and he ended up screaming at Senator Adam Schiff. Cory Booker called down the wrath of god on him."
"In another feature attraction, former CDC director Dr. Susan Monarez got to meet a Senate committee that included Senator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma, and perhaps the dimmest bulb in the Senate chandelier. At issue, was Monarez's claim that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had told her she was untrustworthy. (Kennedy claims Monarez volunteered the information when he asked her if she were trustworthy, which certainly sounds like human beings communicating.)"
Congressional hearings featured highly contentious exchanges involving FBI director Kash Patel and senators, with Patel clashing with Mazie Hirono, being accused by Richard Blumenthal of lacking credibility, and screaming at Adam Schiff. Patel faced additional intense questioning in the House Judiciary Committee over the Epstein files, drawing criticism from members across parties. Former CDC director Dr. Susan Monarez testified about an interaction with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who allegedly told her she was untrustworthy, while Senator Markwayne Mullin pursued procedural and trivial lines of questioning and falsely claimed a meeting had been recorded. The Senate rejected a Democratic short-term funding proposal, leaving shutdown risks unresolved.
