Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange:
Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?”
Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.”
Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.”
Below is a C-SPAN screenshot showing Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) speaking during a Justice Department oversight hearing. A lower third graphic shows a countdown to a government shutdown.

Trump’s tariffs and cutbacks are bankrupting farmers. He thinks they’ll keep supporting him no matter what, but his approval numbers say otherwise.

Tweet from Amy Klobuchar that reads:
“27 million pounds of chicken
2 million gallons of milk
67 million eggs
That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks.”
Below the text is an image showing trucks on a highway with a banner labeled “CANCELED” and a caption: “Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid.” The source line reads: “From projects.propublica.org.”

Why Speaker Johnson won’t bring Republicans back to DC (hint: it has to do with the Epstein files)

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

Tweet from @TheDemocrats:
“Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they’ve done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.”
There’s no attached image or video, only text.

The gullible president is being played by those around him, and we're all paying the price for it.

The president of the United States is a clown and an embarrassment to America.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If there was nothing to hide in the Epstein files, Trump would have released them by now.
