A loud-mouthed House Democrat totally flipped out after being totally exposed and humiliated after moving to subpoena Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.
As The Hill reported, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) moved to subpoena Rubio, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner before the House Foreign Affairs Committee over the war in Iran by the end of April so the American public and Congress “can hear from them directly on the most pressing international security matter facing Americans today: President Trump’s war of choice in Iran.”
“If this committee cannot hold hearings on a war involving U.S. forces, the diplomacy around it, and its impacts on our allies and partners, then we are not meeting our most basic oversight responsibility,” he added.
But Meeks’ showboating quickly came back to haunt him. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) proceeded to humiliate him by exposing a damning truth: not only had Meeks not been showing up for classified briefings, but he had often been late for those he had attended.
Hearing this sent Meeks over the edge, and he yelled at Mast for several minutes. He falsely accused the Florida congressman of covering up for Trump and not holding public briefings.
He also again demanded that he call Witkoff, Rubio, and Kushner in to testify.
Mast somehow managed to keep his cool, even offering to keep Meeks posted whenever there’s a briefing, public or private, on the calendar. Meeks, of course, refused to listen and continued shouting.
The exchange concludes with Meeks continuing to scream, “Do you believe the American people deserve transparency!” and yelling for public hearings. In contrast, Mast continued to tell him he could start showing up to work.

MAST: If you want to know what’s taking place with the activities in Iran or anywhere else, feel free to attend any of our fly-in classified briefings, which you don’t attend at all.
I’d also encourage you, when we have the classified briefings with Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth…You might want to take a few notes because you are forgetting every single thing that they told you, which is every single detail you want to know about this conflict.
MEEKS: There haven’t been numerous; there’s been three! One with the Gang of Eight…
MAST: I can use my dictionary…
MEEKS: Do your job and lead this committee, and let the American people have some transparency! We need to have some transparency for the American people; we need to have public hearings!
MAST: Goes on every week. I can let you know when it happens. You can put it on your calendar.
MEEKS: We haven’t had any public hearings! What are you hiding?!
MAST: We have a hearing going on right now.
MEEKS: The three people who have been going through all the negotiating are Mr. Kushner, Mr. Witkoff…And we need the Secretary of State. Those are the individuals that need to be here!
That is why I am asking to have a subpoena to have them in this room…So they can have questions asked to them by Democrats and Republicans!
MAST: Like our classified briefings that you must have forgotten about.
MEEKS: I know you want to protect the president, and the way you want to protect him is by not calling his people…You just want to give them a (free pass) just like the Duma does for Vladimir Putin.
No responsibility! No oversight!
MAST: Attend the briefings that we have, you’d learn quite a bit. You could even consider showing up on time.
MEEKS: Stop covering up for the Administration! Don’t be a rubber stamp!
MAST: You have someone here before you. I’d encourage you to ask some questions.
MEEKS: I will.
MAST: I look forward to hearing it. Again, I’ll make sure to update you on when our classified briefings are…Hopefully we don’t see any more public excuses why you don’t show up to classified briefings.
MEEKS: Do the American people deserve transparency?
MAST: They deserve to know that everyone involved in their national security apparatus is actually paying attention to the issues.

Havana is moving.
As the US ramps up the pressure on the Caribbean island, the Cuban communist dictatorship announced that it has freed more than 2,000 prisoners.
It’s the second prisoner amnesty this year alone, amid talks with the US administration of Donald J. Trump.
The move is part of a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture”
Trump has CONFIRMED “Cuba is next.”
The Communist regime will fall!

Reuters reported:
“Cuba’s state-run Granma newspaper called the measure a ‘humanitarian and sovereign gesture’.
The Cuban government has consistently rejected any suggestion it makes decisions under U.S. pressure. The timing of Thursday’s announcement, however, coincides with the most intense pressure campaign applied by Washington in decades.”

“The decision to free 2,010 prisoners “stemmed from a careful analysis of the crimes committed by those convicted, their good conduct in prison, the fact that they had served a significant portion of their sentence, and their state of health’, state media said.”
Murderers, drug-related felons, and pedophiles were excluded from the release.
“It was unclear how many of the prisoners subject to release following Thursday’s announcement have been held on charges related to anti-government protests. Many high-profile dissidents, and some protesters from island-wide July 11 protests, have been freed in recent agreements and amnesties announced by the Cuban government.”

Associated Press reported:
“Cuba’s government denies holding political prisoners, but the activist group Prisoners Defended registered 1,214 people imprisoned for political reasons in Cuba as of February.
[…] The release comes as the Trump administration has placed extreme pressure on Cuba’s government.”
Last month, Cuba released 51 people from the island’s prisons in an unexpected move negotiated with the Vatican.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was rushed to a hospital last month after a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, CNN reported.
Alito, who just turned 76, was treated for dehydration after he fell ill (food poisoning?).
Details about the medical emergency were not disclosed.
In the two weeks since the medical incident, Samuel Alito has been on the bench and has attended oral arguments.
“Out of an abundance of caution, he agreed with his security detail’s recommendation to see a physician before the three-hour drive home,” the Supreme Court said in a statement, The Hill reported.
“After that examination and the administration of fluids for dehydration, he returned home that night, as previously planned,” the high court said.
CNN reported:
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident.
The justice was evaluated and administered fluids for dehydration. He returned to his home in Virginia that night with his security team.
Alito and Supreme Court public information officials declined to comment for the record about the episode, which has not been previously reported.
In the two weeks since the incident, Alito has attended oral arguments and appeared healthy during the usual give-and-take with lawyers at the lectern.
Alito, who turned 76 on Wednesday and has served as a justice for 20 years, has become the subject of widespread speculation from commentators across the ideological spectrum and the news media over whether he might retire. (He has refused to answer journalists’ questions on the subject.)
Fox News also confirmed the Alito report.
Fox News reported:
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was treated for dehydration at a hospital after a previously undisclosed March 20 incident in Philadelphia, sources told Fox News.
He was not admitted and returned home the same night without complications.
Alito, 76, attended a Federalist Society dinner that evening and reported feeling lightheaded, prompting his security detail to recommend a precautionary hospital visit. Sources said the justice has had no issues since.
