I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Quick reminder. Russia was allied with the Nazis in 1939. And Russia only won the war on their front because the US supplied them with military material through lend lease.

People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.
