A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45.
I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

💯 and it’s more frustrating because smartphones are more sophisticated and powerful than many traditional computers at this point.
One of the worst things to happen to society from a technology standpoint has been the transition from younger people using computers to apps. So much technological institution memory has been lost. 😥

The year is 2045. Nurse is the only job left. It has been hastily retconned to a male coded job and every nurse now wears tactical combat gear and has a gun.
Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.

Government-issued Real IDs and driver’s licenses aren’t proof of citizenship, and most people aren’t walking around with a passport.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

The airspace over El Paso airport, Texas, has been suddenly closed by the FAA for ten days, closing the airport too. The airspace has been defined as "National Defence Airspace". Nobody knows why.

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*."
Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

This article is from 2023. In 2025, a Georgia hospital did it.
Adriana Smith. Say her name.
ER staff misdiagnosed a clot in her brain.
She was 9 weeks pregnant & brain dead. They kept her alive as an incubator without consent of the family.
They experimented on a Black woman.

“every single person laid off has been a woman and/or a person of color”
2/9 PM UPDATE: Joining the list of AJC layoffs are:
· Alia Pharr, a metro Atlanta local government reporter
· Maya T. Prabhu, a statehouse reporter whose last day will be the end of the ongoing state legislative session
Again: every single person laid off has been a woman and/or a person of color

Again: every single person laid off has been a woman and/or a person of color
BREAKING: @ajc.com on Tuesday evening said it will lay off approximately 50 staffers, about 15% of its headcount, as it seeks to cut costs and marshal resources to invest in its growth.
The AJC published its last print edition on 12/31. About half of those laid off will come from the newsroom.
