@schiff.senate.gov This is how it's done Bravo Senator Schiff

81% of Americans believe Trump is covering up unsavory personal details in the Epstein files And today, Pam Bondi confirmed that once again #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

At a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi avoided answering pointed questions by repeatedly laying into her questioners and casting her responses as a defense of the Trump administration.

ICE shot pepper balls into the head, face, torso, and legs of Reverend David Black in Chicago. If they're not dropping from the sky into black and brown neighborhoods, and dragging their children outside, naked, and zip-tying toddlers, then they're shooting women. #SheShed

Good morning. The government is shutdown and Republicans are hiding. They aren't even in Washington. Why? Because Trump thinks he's king. He's told his sycophants to boycott budget talks so he can act lawlessly and steal people's health care to pay for his billionaire tax cut.

Her contempt is extraordinary. Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people. And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

PODCAST: This year's Supreme Court term will be a historic one for the future of presidential power and our system of checks and balances. Listen to The Briefing with Michael Waldman to learn more about the major cases on the docket. youtu.be/9Cwe-DVrQrg

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it. Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization. We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

i agree. This is why they need the National Guard ? They going to raid pre-schools?

Twelve Federal Aviation Administration facilities saw staffing shortages Monday night. Burbank, Phoenix and Denver had the worst staffing problems. Newark, Jacksonville, Chicago, DC, and Indianapolis and other locations were also short staffed due to the government shutdown.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: Did the FBI find photographs of Donald Trump with half-naked young women that were shown by Jeffrey Epstein, according to a witness? Bondi: *silence* Whitehouse: You don’t know anything about that?

A former Republican strategist and staunch critic of President Donald Trump shredded Attorney General Pam Bondi's "venomous" appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in a new essay.

Six former U.S. surgeons general warned in a Tuesday op-ed that changes made by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are "endangering the health of the nation." www.axios.com/2025/10/07/r...

🧵 @stevevladeck.bsky.social is clear: Trump cannot do whatever he wants with Federal troops in American cities. "The problem ...is that many Americans don’t believe the president’s claims. We look at pictures and videos out of Portland and we don’t see “war-ravaged” anything. ..

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay. This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

NEW: We filed a brief in support of the Associated Press in their lawsuit against the Trump administration. Media outlets shouldn't have to parrot the government's worldview — whether it's the name of the Gulf of Mexico or anything else — in order to access White House events.

KBJ’s blunt question today about the Supreme Court’s culture war hypocrisy kind of floored me, because it’s the kind of meta-criticism that we aren’t used to hearing from the justices. It’s the second day of the term, and things are that dire already. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Taking control of cities is about taking control of the elections. Truth 💣 from @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Members of the GOP openly calling for a "cleansing."

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out. Fucking crazy shit.

A Dem legislator raised a good point in a CNN interview today: if you want to combat gun violence in Chicago, why not look at where the guns are coming from? www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

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!

ICE, who spends their days abusing, kidnapping, & dragging crying children from their homes in the dark of night to zip tie them, are being denied service at restaurants in Chicago..........monsters should always be denied service. #Pinks

Brilliant 👏🏽🔥 Release The Grindr Files! 💡

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

So he's rereleased the Epstein Files? (Kidding)

Senator Durbin has a few words for Pam Bondi. A long list of ethics violations ensues, with defendants being let off the hook who are politically connected to the Trump regime.. The Department of Justice is clearly off the rails.

Pam Bondi's shameless stonewalling of the Senate Judiciary Committee today is of course a total negation of Congressional oversight. "Oversight" is impossible if they won't let you see anything.

Yesterday, a Texas Republican exposed in court that he didn't tell legislators about a call he had with Kincaid, when he asked him whether racial data was used to draw the map. When questioned about the response, a lawyer for Texas quickly jumped in...👀 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When it comes to redrawing maps that expand Republican power, Adam Kincaid is your artist. His most recent work? Texas’ mid-decade gerrymander that could secure five more GOP seats in Congress. And today, he’ll defend it in court.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote. Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Jimmy Kimmel grilled Aziz Ansari about his choice to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, despite Saudi Arabia's government doing “a lot of horrible, horrible things.”

Pam Bondi is on Capitol Hill acting like a bratty, rage-filled teen, yelling at Senators for daring to ask questions like they’re supposed to. MAGA always melts down when faced with basic accountability. They’re all the same….all tantrums, no answers.

The stakes are high & the time is now. -They rig maps & silence voters -They rip away freedoms -They try to silence voices -They terrorize our communities This is dictatorship in action. Oct 18 we stand against authoritarian overreach & we send a LOUD msg: #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/Izz6n7Ck

Hirono to Bondi: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

Along with fast-tracking the money, Noem flew to Naples on a government plane to tour the pier herself. She then stayed for the weekend and got dinner with the donor, local cardiologist Sinan Gursoy, at the French restaurant Bleu Provence. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

This is how you do it. #Pinks #blackoutthesystem

IL State Senator Karina Villa Tells ICE “This is my City! Take off your Mask!” Chasing them out of the neighborhood. She sends a message to constituents.

Well, this sucks! I'm losing my health insurance. (I love my health insurance plan. I've recommended it to others.) I may have to change doctors. #TrumpsAmerica #TruthBomb @bynum.house.gov @muellershewrote.com @meidastouch.com @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @jenrubin.bsky.social

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

The aggressiveness and cruelty of ICE Gestapo brings up the question: “What type of substances are these guys on?” Anabolic steroids and testosterone come immediately to mind but meth, cocaine and amphetamines are also responsible for hyper behaviors. This is not normal behavior.
