NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

This morning, Ghislaine Maxwell blanket pleaded the 5th during her deposition in the Epstein case. What’s the message? She seems to be making it clear to Donald Trump that he can buy her silence with clemency.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.

But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.

I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
