The DOJ was spying on lawmakers searches on the redacted Epstein files. This is in violation of the separation of powers and as @raskin.house.gov says, it’s Orwellian. The DOJ everyday violates laws and Pam Bondi must be impeached, disbarred, and sent to prison.

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.

It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

Rep. Raskin: “You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”

Massie comes out and says what we're all thinking. Epstein has been covered up by the FBI / DOJ for 30 fucking years.

The question is why was Epstein so entrenched in the U.S. government that the system protected him?

Who really made this monster?

Getting rid of representatives that are election deniers would be a good start.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

This is why “ICE out of Minnesota” is not enough. Abolish ICE & CBP is the floor for a Constitutional democracy.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Good grief. Jayapal and Lieu and Raskin and Johnson (Hank, of course, not Mike) and all the other sane and ethical people on that panel deserve combat pay for having to deal with Bondi and her s---.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

She sounds like a toddler and clearly expected Jordan to give her support. Dems have gotten a lot better at this.

I've seen a lot of Bondi clips but THIS one is my personal favorite.

Poor childish narcisisst didn't have her opposition research ready, so she floundered, and then just threw a total 5-year-old hissy fit to distract from having to answer.

Mothers know these classic techniques well. 😅

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

I think it's funny that she had to bring a book with insults and grievances rather than just, you know, say what she thinks. I wonder how put the together for her. Lol
I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.

They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.

Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.
