Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?

Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate was like talking to every MAGAt on social media—rude conversations rife with whataboutisms, lies, and never a straight answer.

Same thing he used to do to his contractors in business. SOP for him.

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 1d

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"

Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

Some Repubs, screaming about “weaponized government,” say they’re outraged that they were the focus of a Biden-era DOJ investigation. The GOP tried to launch a coup so that Trump could retain power. This isn’t debatable, and they still should be held accountable.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

The GOP Speaker sent Congress home -
even though most Republicans want to keep ACA tax credits:

✅ 59% GOP
✅ 57% MAGA
✅ 70% non-MAGA

Rural + self-employed Americans rely on ACA coverage.

Republicans want affordable care.

Trump’s team doesn’t care.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.
