Ask Judge Cannon in Florida.
How often do you ask yourself how the fuck Trump is POTUS and not PRISONER?

Ask Judge Cannon in Florida.
He’s Speaker of the House and knows nothing going on around him. And Republicans are fine with it. It provides cover for their failures.
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that
Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history
JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that

2013: Florida AG Pam Bondi decided not to join a multi-state fraud lawsuit against Trump University AFTER her campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Donald Trump Foundation that she personally solicited. Despite consumer complaints, her office took no action.

The stuff of dictatorships: Surveillance of opponents’ private activities.
CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

This is what happens in autocracies. The right to private conversations and private information doesn’t exist. The DOJ is the investigative arm of the Trump regime.
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

What this meeting will be about is how Republican governors can suppress the vote in their states to prevent Republican congressional losses. It's a campaign strategy meeting.
National Governors Association annual meeting in DC with the President. All 50 governors always meet with the president. Trump says nope, invites only Republican governors to meet with him. He’s by far the most hateful, most divisive person in America today. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

It’s probably a “hybrid.” We see them here in NY State. They look like larger coyotes. Supposedly, wolves migrated to the east and mated with coyotes.
A gray wolf was spotted in LA County for the first time in 100 years yesterday. Clearly a big deal.
But on my morning walk thru Los Feliz, this "little wolf" (aka coyote) is giving off "hold my beer" vibes.

Where is Congress? It is obvious what the Trump regime (Can we say Stephen Miller?) is doing. Yet Congress, especially the Republicans, is AWOL on this.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Americans need to understand what the Trump regime is doing. It’s building a network of what are effectively concentration camps. We are all in danger. The regime will arrest/kidnap anyone and disappear them.

This is pretty simple stuff: if the DOJ is still redacting the Epstein files, they are protecting pedophiles. They have exposed many of the victims, but continue to protect the perpetrators of sex trafficking of children.

His dementia and psychosis has reached a critical stage. He needs to be confined in a facility until further notice and under the care of mental health professionals. He needs to be medicated. The longer he remains in the WH, the greater the danger to the country.
He belongs in a mental hospital. Truly.
And while attacking Canada *AGAIN* like a deranged maniac he kisses Putin’s ass non-stop and allows him to murder people every hour.

The current DOJ will never provide all documents unredacted. Why? Because Trump's name and that of his friends are everywhere. And, Trump's DOJ has probably destroyed many documants. It will probably destroy more.
Breaking MS NOW:
Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.
Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
