ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

Robin Williams on Trump in 2012: And he owns all these beauty pageants.
Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him.
This is a man who said, 'My daughter is hot.'

Democrats are outraged by Pam Bondi's performance as attorney general. Maybe they shouldn't have been so quick to reject Matt Gaetz just because he has sex with teenagers.

I love this because I know for a fact that that dude saying those things, in that accent, is eating them up with rage.
There’s a very good chance that some rando Repub strokes out as a result of watching this.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

So stupid. This doesn’t hurt Harvard. It does hurt the military by denying promising officers the ability to further their education and expand their horizons.

It boggles my mind that this isn’t what people want.
Like these people say to themselves,”Of course I deserve better care than that person.”
Or like some people I know, “Of course that person deserves better care than me, they’re rich.”

Imagine a country where no matter who you are, where you grew up, or how much money you make, you’re treated as an equal when you walk into a clinic.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Please tell Schumer not to cave.
He has no idea how out of touch he is, nor how angry voters will be if he continues to ignore the Democratic base.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

The lyingest lie that’s ever been lied.
Llamas: “Scott Bessent is the head of the IRS. Pam Bondi is the head of the DOJ. They're going to defend the IRS against you…Are you going to tell them to pay you? You're the boss.”
Trump: “I would tell them to pay me, but I'll give 100% of the money to charity. I don't want any of the money.”

The annual “Moby-Dick” Marathon reading, held at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, is a radical act—and a profound kind of literary patriotism, James Parker argues.
The Marathon Moby-Dick Reading Is a Radical Act
It’s an all-analog mass redreaming of a flawed American gospel: superbly countercultural.
