ImpactCounter estimated that more than 750,000 to 762,000 people died as a result of USAID funding cuts one year after they began, with over 500,000 of those being children.

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

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.

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.
My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

SCANLON: Can we assume the DOJ has prepared that list of groups that are designated as 'domestic terrorist organizations'?

BONDI: I'm not going to answer it yes or no, but I know antifa is part of it

S: Will you commit to providing this committee with the list?

BONDI: I won't commit to anything

This is another very important and revealing exchange. Rep. Scanlon is making a crucial point, one well worth listening to. And she does it calmly. But Trump has created a market for obnoxious, childish defiance of Congress. The Attorney General‘s response is outrageous, even impeachment-worthy.

I guess the American people are fine with the Attorney General of the U.S. behaving like a nasty 5th grade playground bully on national television? I suppose that explains a lot about how we got to where we are. The fact that someone like this is in a position of such high authority says it all.

“Increasingly”?

It’s not just about symmetry; it’s about an unwillingness to call out reality for what it is. This is very similar to the “escalation” language.
i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

And yet.

It’s clear that they want to operate in a lawless, fascist system. That is a fact, and their repeated actions show that not only do they want that but that they are willing to and have acted on that.

I hate all of this! I hate that our government has been taken over by lunatics, dipshits, moral vacuums and con-artists. (Or some combination in between.) The people who are supposed at least cursorily protect us and govern the goings-on of our country are instead chopping us all up for firewood.

I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.
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.
