Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Every week Poilievre repeats the same playbook - fearmongering, scapegoating, and distortion.
Here’s what Poilievre pushed this last week-- and what the data actually says. #cdnpoli

I've watched Ford's daughter drive like a bat out of hell on the Etobicoke streets. So maybe daddy can't afford the fines? Also, his buddies in their luxury vehicles and his donors probably received too many tickets. #onpoli #TOpoli

I wonder which of the Vaughan "developers" got dinged with a speeding ticket from an automated camera. "Hey Dougie. Uncle Vito doesn't like speed cameras. You know what to do."

This Ford only goes in reverse!
2019: Introduce speed camera policy
2025: Rescind speed camera policy
🤦

NEW: In 2019, it was the Ford government that tabled regulations to introduce automated speed enforcement cameras in Ontario's cities.

Now, six years later, it's looking to reverse the policy. #OnPoli

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Yep, 16 cameras all cut down in one night, that's organized crime. Get them all down before Doug gives his big speech on how he doesn't want them.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
