The last time I saw Pam Bondi, she was drunk and dragging some embarrassed male on to a campaign bus. Dressed in what one female staffer referred to as “stripper formal,” she fell asleep on the bus and everyone tried to
ignore her snoring.

Opportunism and moral rot. And especially the disconnect between GOP leaders - products of elite educations who aspire to elite institutions - and their voters, who will let them stay in DC as long as they pretend to believe that vaccines are evil and all that crap.
Tom, what do you think caused the overwhelming majority of republicans to abandon everything they said they believed in?

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Folks look at you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then Cabinet secretaries don't get immediately impeached & removed for behaving like this in front of the legislature that oversees them.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes
