A statement from Tylenol
Pam Bondi gave a disaster-class in how NOT to testify to Congress — combative, smug in the presence of survivors, & likely perjuring herself in the process — she’ll be resigned to the annals of worst AGs in history

Jasmine Crockett on Pam Bondi: “I’m not going to ask any questions of this witness bc she’s made it clear she won’t answer questions — I completely don’t get how you’re sitting at the top of DOJ bc you’re clearly not good at your job — You’ve spent more money arresting journalists than pedophiles”

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein”

AOC on Trump’s oil embargo of Cuba: “What has transpired is that now it’s kind of become acceptable that the entire Western world will look the other way as they starve & deprive a people because they find political actors or political regimes in that country to be objectionable”

Rachel Maddow: “The Trump economy is not going great. Whatever the opposite is of great, that's how it's going — in just the first month of this year, 2026, the total number of layoffs in this country was more than 108,000 — that's more layoffs in any January since 2009, since the Great Recession”

Goldman: “You & your untrained, unqualified, unvetted, unidentified agents are intentionally terrorizing our cities & communities all over this country to avoid accountability for their excessive force & their lawless actions — that is why you're wearing masks. So no one can hold you accountable”

Jasmine Crockett: “Yesterday he said stop talking about the Epstein Files — he is the king of distraction & he knows how to get us talking about something other than the Epstein Files — is it new that he’s racist? Absolutely not — what he does care about is more of those files coming out”

Jasmine Crockett: “Most of us already know who Trump is — we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace — when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior — your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

Ro Khanna: “He absolutely is going to have to testify, & that's why he doesn't want Clinton to testify — you can bet that when we have Chairman Garcia, he's going to call Donald Trump to testify, as he should — he does have answers, that he needs to answer for in terms of what happened with Epstein”

Kaitlan Collins: “Tulsi Gabbard’s hunt for the president's long sought but never found evidence of widespread voter fraud now extends beyond the state of Georgia—

When it comes to who exactly asked Gabbard to be there, the level of finger pointing has almost taken on a SpideMan meme-like quality”

Chris Murphy: “He’s telling you he wants to federalize national elections — he's telling you that he thinks he won Minnesota & Georgia & California, that the 2020 elections were rigged—

February 4, 2026 at 4:01 PM
Ted Lieu: “I went to Minneapolis, St. Paul & met with nonprofit groups & local law enforcement — their stories of abuse are horrific — you have Trump's ICE completely being out of control. But we also know that the public pressure is working — the Trump administration is starting to backtrack”
February 4, 2026 at 3:24 PM
Crockett: “Republicans are going to protect girls & women — like, miss me on being protectors — don't come at us & tell us as women what we should be okay with, what we shouldn't be okay with — you are not protecting women as they need protections over their own bodies to make their own decisions”

Rep Robin Kelly: “I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem — I'm standing outside of ICE headquarters & I want Kristi Noem to know I'm watching her — Congress is watching her — but most importantly, the American people are watching her & we do not like what we see. She must go. She must be impeached”

Raiding election offices.
