A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

2700 families were evicted in Oregon last month.
Last month set an all time record for the number of evictions in the state of Oregon. This is an emergency, and this legislative session I'm asking my colleagues to add back $10 million to the state's eviction prevention fund to help keep families in stable housing. #orleg https://loom.ly/4Fgb5vs
Record evictions in Oregon highlight urgent housing crisis
Oregon experienced a record high in court-ordered evictions in January, driven by reduced state funding for eviction prevention and rising living costs, prompting urgent calls for solutions to keep families

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
