Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to testify before a Senate panel Tuesday amid mounting concerns that the DOJ under her leadership is being weaponized to go after President Trump's perceived enemies.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Perry asks Hamilton if, once the troops are here, they could be deployed anywhere in the Northern District of Illinois. He says he can't say. Perry asks who they will be answering to. Hamilton ultimately says "to the president."

WOW! THIS IS TERRIBLE! Trump's economy lost 32,000 jobs last Month according to ADP Dow Jones had been looking for an INCREASE of 45,000. In addition to the drop in September, the August payrolls number was revised to a loss of 3,000 from an initially reported increase of 54,000.

AOC: "It is our obligation to put our foot down and say 'enough is enough'. People need to be defended... And if Republicans want to say no to that, they’ll have to learn that that's not how this works. This is not a dictatorship, as much as Donald Trump wants it to be. It's a democracy."

This is very, very bad.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “Have you reviewed the docs where the victims name the people?” PATEL: “No.” MASSIE: “So how can you tell the senate there are no names?” 🤔 SWALWELL: “If Trump isn’t implicated why not release everything that involves him?” PATEL: *loses it*

SWAWELL: If you don't know how many times Trump's name appears in the Epstein files, it could be at least 1,000 times PATEL: It's not SWAWELL: Is it at least 500 times? PATEL: No SWALWELL: Is it at least 100 times? PATEL: No SWALWELL: Then what is the number?

LIEU: Are there photos of showing Donald Trump with girls of an uncertain age? PATEL: No L: How do you know? P: Because the information would've been brought to light by multiple administrations L: That's just not true. Nobody knew about the creepy birthday message that Trump wrote to Epstein

PATEL: The estate of Epstein has a voluminous amount of information that they have not released LIEU: Wouldn't it be great if the FBI subpoenaed the estate? P: The estate is under no obligation to provide that information L: That's just false. You're the frickin' FBI! You can subpoena information

LIEU: Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? PATEL: The index has been released LIEU: America, this is a huge red flag -- the FBI director could not answer whether Trump is on Epstein's client list

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Raskin moves to subpoena four banks that helped move Jeffrey Epstein's money and have subsequently reported $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions. Vote will take place at the end of today's hearing with Director Patel.

Release the Epstein files!!!

SCHIFF just asked who made the decision to waive Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status. Patel says the Bureau of Prisons made the call. Even though the Bureau of Prisons has NEVER ONCE in HISTORY waived someone's sex offender status to move them to a minimum security camp.

NEWS NBC News LOSES its effort to unseal the identities of two people Epstein wired six-figure transfers of money to after the Herald's exposé. The government and two lawyers for victims opposed the effort. Quick thread storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis... Jan 19, 2023 U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks "A continuing pattern of misuse of the courts by Mr. Trump and his lawyers undermines the rule of law, portrays judges as partisans, and diverts resources from those who have suffered actual legal harm."

NYT would be doing everyone a favor if they didn't try to dismiss this lawsuit and instead moved right to discovery. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So Kilmeade issues a weak apology about giving homeless people lethal injections and Fox just moves on with zero consequences. As usual.

This regime is determined to make all our friends and allies turn away from us.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

The Governor of Utah just announced at the FBI press conference on the murder of Charlie Kirk that bots from China & Russia are spreading disinformation online in an attempt to incite more violence and divide us. Please rely on accurate, factual information from official sources.

It was *one person* who shot Charlie Kirk. Not half of America. "The Left" didn't shoot "The Right". One man did this. Could be a foreigner for all Trump knows. He's invoking violence on millions of his own citizens because of one unknown person's terrible actions. This is not leadership.

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho. In 24 hours. All Democratic or left-leaning victims. All suspected MAGA perpetrators.

thank god we’re all against political violence

JUST IN: Senate Republicans defeated Chuck Schumer’s amendment to mandate release of the Epstein files. Only two Republicans, Rand Paul and Josh Hawley, voted with Democrats. What are they trying to hide from the American people?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Liz Stein, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse, gave some important and powerful advice to other survivors of abuse - tell someone, if they don't listen tell someone else, do not remain silent. Her courage is incredible.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK

Well the man in the middle of this photo is Joel Pashcow—in Epstein’s little black book— and also seen here in 1994 sitting with Epstein and… RFK, Jr. at a fundraiser.

The Epstein estate turned over a suggestive drawing given to Epstein and signed by Trump. “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” Release All the Epstein Files!

Blockbuster new Epstein reveals tonight. Chuck:

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

Crockett: And honestly, it's really a sad day in this country that this is the guy that is leading our nation.
