You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, around 4 pm – and there is literally no one here in the House of Representatives. Not a soul on what should be a busy day. And, why? Because the GOP has shut it down. Literally.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Imagine showing this headline to Brezhnev.

FBI snagged Sen. Ron Johnson's phone logs in their Jan. 6 probe, eyeing his push for bogus electors to Pence. Now he whines about "shocking" surveillance from the same crew he accuses of threatening democracy. #Jan6

Socialism is defined as an economic system characterized by government ownership of the factors of production, where government planning coordinates economic activity, including the production and distribution of goods and services. allocate wealth and resources more equally.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

The Recap: Trump could further screw federal workers, and AOC makes Stephen Miller super mad

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

What are in the Epstein files that is worth keeping the government shutdown?

The Department of Justice doesn’t seem very interested in justice.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

This year, 3 representatives-elect were sworn in less than 24 hours after their special elections. It’s been TWO WEEKS. I proudly joined my House Democratic colleagues in calling on Speaker Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva as soon as possible.

The NYT's making sure everyone sees this piece pushing eugenicist views of autistic people.

Kristi Noem praying before sending her secret, masked goons out to harass the people of Portland

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

One point I made about the shutdown is that a lot of what Schumer and Jeffries are doing is not for YOU, but for annoying beltway journalists who see this as a competition but whose reporting actually matters to their colleagues. Voila: "Republicans in disarray" www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

No one in Canada will ever love you again — they know they’re living right above the madhouse.

Hegseth complains about overweight soldiers, meanwhile the Texas National Guard showing up in Chicago... I have questions. www.reddit.com/r/pics/comme...

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

This strikes me as pretty bad

How Democrats could reshape the public narrative around AG Pam Bondi In eight short months, Attorney General Pam Bondi has left the Justice Department in chaos.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

Simple summation. Yes?

"The separation of church and state is not a mere theory or constitutional surplusage; it protects the right of all Americans to worship freely and to follow their religions without fear of repression or forced compliance." www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files? Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

No Josh Hawley, your white skin and position of power does not make you immune from investigation.

As an employment lawyer, I can say that only dirt bags refuse to pay their employees. Pay your employees Dirt Bag Donald!! www.npr.org/2025/10/07/g...

I live in Chicago. ICE and its various manifestations is a reckless, inhuman way to "produce content." I'm a 75-year-old white guy who says get the hell out of here. www.economist.com/united-state...

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Pam Bondi is so hostile, angry, and rude, today. I think it must be getting harder and harder to lie.
