Sen. Patty Murray seems to be getting her "facts" from The Guardian, which recently published a piece on Veterans Affairs hospitals removing "politics and marital status from guidelines protecting patients from discrimination." If you look at the URL for the piece, it reads "va-doctors-refuse-treat-patients." If The Guardian intended to scare veterans, it may have accomplished its goal. If it was intended to provide fodder for hacks like Sen. Patty Murray, it succeeded spectacularly.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins was not one bit intimidated by Murray as she questioned him at a hearing. We'll probably see a post from her later today about how she was disrespected because she's a woman.

Beautiful.

And Collins let her know.

This editor maintains that it's Sen. Mazie Hirono, but we'll allow it.

They probably wrote the question for Murray.

That's one thing we've particularly enjoyed about President Donald Trump's second term. His Cabinet picks aren't at all intimidated by the screeching harpies in Congress. If we had it handy, here's where we'd put that meme of Murray, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and we believe Hirono all screaming at an uncowed Pete Hegseth.
