easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here it’s not just a huge scandal, it’s dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein” Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime” Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

In other governments this would end mike Johnson’s tenure as leader of his coalition lol

Fail to see the problem and I live in America.

I keep harping on this, but I want to make sure anyone doing good work going through the Epstein Files remembers: there is no doubt much of these Files will be taken down and further redacted. The DOJwill likely request the Internet Archive remove these. Save anything you find locally, always.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before. Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

what is with these people and dogs?

So grandma, when authoritarianism came, what did the media do? Well, honey, they framed everything as a battle between two sides, and never actually said one side was undermining the rule of law, damaging institutions, and creating a new Fash Tech Oligarchy™️ that was unaccountable to the people.

Trump Tanked Job Growth in 2025 to Basically Nothing newrepublic.com/post/206460/...

Today’s CBO report says US consumers pay 95% of tariffs. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social www.cbo.gov/system/files...

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

That the Bondi hearing is being chaired by Jim I-Let-A-Doctor-Rape-College-Wrestlers-When-I-Was-Their-Assistant-Coach Jordan is... really fucking painful. "'To say that (Jordan) knew nothing, that nothing ever happened, it’s a flat out lie',” former Ohio State Wrestler Dan Ritchie said."

Pamela Jo Bondi coldly ignoring the Epstein survivors as she memorizes her next irrelevant lie to protect one of the main perpetrators.

This has gotten exponentially stupider since I was last here.

Remember, they're there to keep us all safe.

Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.

It is software. It is lines of code. That’s it. Nothing else. It is a computer program that responds to your inputs based on probability. Stop. Just fucking stop it. It’s not alive. It’s not self-aware. It’s a fancy copycat machine.

"I don't know why you're laughing"

I mean just look at Venus, that place has SO MANY plants growing there from all the CO2

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

This story buries the fact that the argument stemmed from her dad saying he’d be fine with her being sexually assaulted

You can’t have an abortion but you can kill your grown daughter if she disagrees with you

Two days in a row now that I got got by thinking that it can’t get any stupider.

great but also what the fuck was that

If you have any information about this whatsoever, I’m marisakabas.04 on Signal

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

Ring cameras and their copycats were always dumb. Now they’re dumb and evil.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I need to stop thinking that things can’t possibly get any stupider.

Monsters.

"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."

Chappell Roan and Orville Peck have both taken stronger stands against Epstein’s collaborators than ANY elected Republican. Interesting how it’s allegedly queer people making kids “unsafe,” but they’re the FIRST ONES to do something in the wake of this horror. Almost like bigots are full of shit.

TIL what DARVO means, a helpful term for this hearing: "An acronym for 'Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender,' a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior."

Really crazy to hear Lyons keep saying ICE agents in MN are simply carrying out targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operations. ICE is literally circling elementary schools in this Minneapolis suburb every day, looking for brown and Black children to nab. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

"Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

A CBP agent or officer has been arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005 — and there's every reason to believe that ICE has similar cultural misconduct problems, as it's set to be turbocharged with 10,000 new officers. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Meanwhile these are the same representatives protecting the people who are actual serious dangers to children from being identified, apprehended, prosecuted, and punished.

He doesn't know if the Census Bureau is part of the department he runs?! Or he doesn't know the Census Bureau establishes the poverty line? Either way, that's the kind of staggering admission of utter cluelessness that should get this ass-kissing toady shown the door

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man? Lyons: Yes McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

Newsom fucked it up. They added language he asked to be included in the bill which gave the judge space to strike down the masking since it only targeted fed agents and not state cops as well. What a penis

Former-Prince Andrew is being investigated by the police—and lost his royal title. Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, Trump hasn’t even lost sleep.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.
