Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

I’m not sure I’ve ever come across anyone who sounded as guilty in a coverup conspiracy as Pamela Jo Bondi does right now.

Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.
The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

Ordinary people serving on grand juries have become a new front line in the resistance against the Trump regime.
They’re saying no to Trump’s vicious prosecutions, and no to the federal prosecutors pursing them. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-citizens-revolt
