    Looks like the congressional hearing is going ... poorly.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Everyone. She's avoiding answering questions, confirming that she's just an apparatchik.

          The opening statement by the GOP senator focused on the SS and its failings, while the opening statement from the Dem senator focused on guns, mass shootings, and authoritarian political violence. He mentioned a "mass shooting" at a club the same night as Trump was shot. The words "gang violence" were not used.

                  A couple of congress critters used their time to talk about gun control and the fallacy of DEI-criticisms.

                  ETA: And, of course, racism.

                      It is painful listening to this professional avoider of questions. I guess that's her core competency as the figurehead of an agency that might have some explaining to do.

                              The distance between her claim that the buck stops with her, and her inability to answer any questions or take any responsibility for any specific decisions, is just monumental and pathetic.

                                      Dumpster fire of an incident, dumpster fire of a coverup. I guess she'll stay until the news cycle moves on, then she'll resign.
