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.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

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

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

The federal government does and should have the authority to deploy troops into our cities—even without local consent—*when the circumstances actually warrant it.*

"Finansministerns stabschef har menat att jag borde lämna ut underlaget till mina siffror för att de ska kunna granska det.

Vi talar om officiell statistik. Och en stabschef på ett departement som antagligen har störst möjligheter i landet att själv undersöka hur det ser ut.

Om han hade velat."

Efter min text om att Kristerssons påstående om de 46500 inte stämmer har regeringen jobbat hårt på att förklara varför de ändå hade rätt.

Skriver idag om varför de fortfarande har lika fel: www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
