Biden, delivering commencement address to Morehouse, talks about the car crash that killed his wife & daughter & the death of his son Beau.
"In this walk of life, you come to understand that we don't know where or what fate will bring you. But we also know you don't walk alone."
moving stuff from Biden to Morehouse grads
"The pandemic robbed you of so much... you started college just as George Floyd was murdered... it's natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you... are we living up to what we say we are as a nation?... faith asks you to hold on to hope... that's my commitment to you. To show you democracy is still the way."
Biden to Morehouse grads: "I want to say this very clearly -- I support peaceful nonviolent protest ... I'm working for around the clock for more than just a ceasefire. I'm working to bring the region together ... I'm working to make sure we finally get a two state solution."
"We're here at the beck and call of Trump fanatics" -- Plaskett plays a clip of Bartiromo criticizing Jim Jordan's leadership of the "weaponization" committee during a weaponization committee hearing lol
Plaskett: "No, Donald, even a president can't shoot someone on 5th Avenue on broad daylight and get away with it."
She then takes a shot at RFK Jr, noting that Jordan called him in to testify despite him missing "part" of "his brain"
"You know better and it is shameful" -- Rep. Goldman points out that Republicans and their witnesses are using Jim Jordan's latest "weaponization" hearing as part of Trump's effort to jury tamper

Biden: "Germany, 1933, Hitler & his Nazi Party rise to power by rekindling one of the world's oldest forms of prejudice & hate- antisemitism. His rule didn't begin with mass murder. It started slowly across economic, political, social, & cultural life. Propaganda demonizing Jews"
Biden: "That hatred was brought to life on October 7, 2023 ... the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day against the Jewish people since the Holocaust ... now, here we are, just 7.5 months later, and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror."
Biden, speaking at a Holocaust remembrance event, is forcefully denouncing Hamas and antisemitism on college campuses and social media
KRISTI NOEM: As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage
BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?
NOEM: I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics.
BRENNAN: You never went to North Korea
NOEM: Yes I have. I've been there.
BRENNAN ... you have?
NOEM: There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ
Noem tries to portray herself as a victim because Brennan is asking her about egregious lies in her book and also doesn't take responsibility for the errors
