A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown. How to win friends and influence people. www.rawstory.com/trump-267416...

Pam Bondi refuses to tell Senator Adam Schiff if he will support the request to release the video and audio tape of Tom Homan accepting a $50,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent.

Pam Bondi refused to discuss the legality of the Venezuelan strikes. In other words, it's not legal.

The #1 thing you need to know about the Supreme Court’s new term is that Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are bad-faith actors.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

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

Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is more than the Epstein files, and a dangerous test of whether election results still guarantee representation. My latest

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

WELCH: There's a tape, right, with Mr Homan. Is there a tape with audio and video of the transfer of $50k? BONDI: You would have to talk to Director Patel about that WELCH: I'm talking to you BONDI: I don't know the answer WELCH: You do know BONDI: Don't call me a liar!

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

This is so dark

Deploying troops to Chicago is not legally justified, says Illinois attorney general — a city that had its fewest summer murders in 60 years —

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

Vermont Senator Peter Welch asks why the attorney general of the United States has zero apparent interest in figuring out what happened to the $50,000 undercover FBI agents gave border czar Tom Homan. She... doesn't take it well.

THIS was an Insurrection January 6th 2021 Trump as President did NOTHING to STOP it Trump did incite his supporters to come to DC to STOP the counting of electoral votes so he could stay in power

Fuck you, #KristiNoem

Sen. DURBIN: Madam Attorney General, it's my job to grill you. Investigation of your agency is part of my responsibility. You may not like the experience, but others have weathered this storm and answered questions in a respectful manner.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do." "He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

Schiff: "You were asked whether you were firing career prosecutors just because they worked on January 6 investigations. You refused to answer that question."

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations. The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel). "The party of small government,” folks.

These mutherfuckers hate like this because they’re miserable and deplorable. 70 years and he still can’t rest from you pieces of shit!

First came social media and now A.I is here and we better do something to curb the damage that it will cause, that will make social media look like a child's fairy tale. Stringent controls and fast, or else...

Dear Pam Bondi, I dare to question your integrity.

Did I miss this on CBS?

The President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association just said on CNN it’s perfectly safe to fly because there have already been 1000 instances this year where air traffic control has had to go to alternative measures because of staffing or other issues. That’s not reassuring!!

Jared Kushner just helped cut a deal for the U.S. in the Middle East while simultaneously deepening a $55 billion private investment deal with Saudi Arabia. That is more than just “questionable.” It’s one of the most brazen conflicts of interest in memory.👇

One of Donald Trump’s earliest supporters on Wall Street owns a stake in the tiny mining business that tripled overnight on news of the government’s investment.

US bankruptcies have already exceeded 2020 levels. So. Much. Winning.

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas. Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage. They're selling out their own voters.

ICE kept most offices open in shutdown — but not the one inspecting detention centers www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This was in today's New York Times. It is not a humor piece, and the title is not hyperbole. The writer is a propagandist from the Claremont Institute, a hateful far right think tank. Screenshot posted without linkage so as not to promote. WTF NYT?
