I just turned on the joint press conference between Trump and the Irish PM in time to hear the President say:
"Chuck Schumer is now a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish, now he's a Palestinian."
I have nothing to say about this. I just wanted to tell you.

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't.
"I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."
