I mean there have been A LOT of crazy moments of Trump officials testifying before Congress over the years, but Attorney General Pam Bondi ranting about the stock market during a House Judiciary hearing - amidst questions about Epstein, ICE, and political prosecutions - has gotta make the Top 3.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

For the CEOs and university presidents and other responsible leaders who have been biding their time and waiting for him to cross the magic red line before speaking up, maybe when he starts arresting Senators is a good time to get off the fucking sidelines.

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs.

The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

Trump already indicted Rep. LaMonica McIver for protesting at ICE facility. Now he tried to indict 6 more Democrats. We have NEVER seen a President use DOJ like this before. Dems need to make it clear they will be prosecuting Trump AND all GOP co-conspirators. Plus declare His pardons are invalid!
UNFU**ING REAL! Trump regime sought to prosecute and imprison 6 members of Congress for daring to defy them. Again we are at war. And the fact so many Democrats don't know or are too timid to fight back is why Im considering running for Congress in NY's 12th CD! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Don't be fooled by different names—all these voter suppression bills have the same goal: block millions of eligible Americans from voting.

It's a coordinated attack on our democracy while they ignore real problems that affect all Americans!

BREAKING: The House GOP is pushing MULTIPLE voter suppression bills through Congress—all designed to block millions of American citizens from voting. This isn't about security; it's about silencing voices.

What's more likely to happen with the SAVE Act? Voter suppression, not voter fraud prevention.

The GOP is using this bill as a Trojan horse to restrict voting rights and maintain their power.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

Republicans’ plan lets ICE run rampant. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social proposed a different plan:

✅Body cams
✅No masks
✅Judicial warrants
✅No roving patrols
✅End racial profiling
✅Independent investigations

And finally, I’m impeaching Kristi Noem. She must go.
