Sparks flew at a Senate hearing on Tuesday when Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) cornered Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy about his seven-month "Great American Road Trip" paid for by a slew of corporations his agency regulates — and Duffy did everything he could to deflect and resist criticism.

"Let's talk about the Great American Vacation," said Gillibrand.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) interrupted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday to tell the Texas Republican she felt "personally aggrieved" by his lecturing — only to have Cruz fire back by invoking the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, snapping, "You're not Dianne Feinstein."

The blowup came after Cruz delivered a lengthy monologue at a hearing on the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais ruling — a 6-3 decision gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — accusing Democrats of believing Black candidates can only win in gerrymandered districts.

Vice President JD Vance was confronted at Tuesday's press conference with a question about President Donald Trump's personal finances, the inherent conflicts of interest, and how it is all at odds with the administration's messaging — and Vance awkwardly tried to sidestep the issue.

"Mr. Vice President, the president's financial disclosures were released recently, and they showed a lot of stock trades in companies that he has talked up events, official events at the White House, on his Truth Social account, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbols in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock," said the reporter.

A self-described Trump lover lit up a MAGA network call-in show this week to call out the president.

"Matt from Las Vegas" phoned into Real America's Voice host Eric Bolling on Tuesday and cut straight into the administration's Iran war narrative, questioning why commercial ships can't pass through the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. military thoroughly destroyed Iran's Navy and Air Force.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s visit to meet with jailed Jeffrey Epstein accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, which led to her getting moved to a minimum-security prison last year afterwards, became a flashpoint with Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) at a Senate hearing on Tuesday.

With Blanche professing that he was unaware that the convicted sex trafficker now has a private room and access to such amenities as “puppy therapy,” Reed wasn't buying it and went on an extensive attack, accusing the former Donald Trump personal lawyer of a cover-up.

CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper lost his cool on Tuesday when Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) demanded to know how many more Americans would have to die for Donald Trump's war with Iran.

"I would like to know how many more Americans we have to ask to die for this mistake," Moulton said at a House Armed Services Committee hearing. "Do you know?"

Donald Trump is nursing a fresh grudge against his favorite networks — and he aired it Tuesday morning in front of his half-built ballroom.

Strolling out to inspect his $400 million East Wing project, the president stopped to talk to reporters and quickly turned a question about health care affordability into a bitter complaint about the media — including the conservative outlets that usually carry his every word.
