California peeps, cast your Yes on 50 vote TODAY, & don’t forget to fill out, sign & date the return envelope.

Voting early helps you b/c it stops all the targeted texts, knocks, mail, etc.

It helps us win b/c we can devote our resources to other yes voters who haven’t cast their ballot.

Pam Bondi is simply no match - intellectually or ethically - for Adam Schiff.

Watch this must-see clip as he dissects and exposes her pathetic performance today.

When she realizes how badly he is rolling her, she tries to interrupt. But it’s to no avail. She knows that he has her dead to rights.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

You can see Bondi doing some long-term thinking there in the final five seconds

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

A reminder that, because he says so many crazy things, few in media noted that—before Naval enlistees—Donald Trump yet again bragged about being a 9.11 hero. And we just shrug. Because it's not among the day's Top 10 battiest spewings from this fuck.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
