Headed for some real Al Pacino And Justice For All energy here. But in all seriousness, Trump and Bondi have done a pretty good job of ransacking the Justice Department. It will take enormous work to build a new DOJ that reflects our best traditions once we drive this regime out at the polls.
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Abolish ICE and move the billions to the United States Capitol Police so that they can provide actual protective details to all 535 members.
I think you’d find many of our leaders would gain some courage to oppose Trumpism.

Re: RFKjr talking about the "war on protein":
Yes, but no, but yes, but also no.
Lots of people are making the very accurate observation that there has never been a "war on protein", and yes, I thoroughly agree, particularly from a NUTRITION SCIENCE perspective.
