The hearing collapsed into shouting because Bondi kept attacking lawmakers instead of explaining the redactions.

She dodged direct questions by pivoting to partisan theatrics and blaming past administrations.

The only surprising thing about Pam Bondi’s hearing performance today is that anyone is surprised. Smug, defensive, scrambling, unprepared—this is her standard operating procedure. Always has been.

Trump’s trade war just hit resistance. The House voted 219–211 to rebuke his Canada tariffs—and Republicans had to cross their own leadership to do it. When your own party starts breaking ranks, it’s not “strength.” It’s weakness.

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu just called Pam Bondi out for lying under oath to shield Trump — and told her to get the hell out of office.

That hearing ripped the mask off the DOJ. Perjury is a felony. Everyone knows it. No excuses.

Trump threatening to block the Gordie Howe Bridge — a key U.S.–Canada trade link — is pure political tantrum.

A project meant to move billions in goods is now just another ego stunt. Workers will pay the price.

Trump is blackmailing New York’s infrastructure to get Penn Station and Dulles named after himself.

This isn’t leadership. It’s narcissistic extortion disguised as governance. Brazen. Petty. Pathological.

Any Republican who stays silent is complicit in this egomaniacal stunt.

Trump skipped the Super Bowl but jumped online to call Bad Bunny’s halftime show “one of the worst EVER.”

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny made history as the first solo Latin headliner — and the stadium was rocking.

Some people can’t stand when culture evolves without them.
