How many taxpayer-paid hours went into creating those materials for Corrupt Pam Bondi?

Maybe @whitehouse.senate.gov can ask her ...

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov · 1d

A MAGA AG dumping false oppo in an oversight hearing shows just how low they go. We usually expect Attorneys General to say true things. Seems like a reasonable expectation.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov · 1d

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Hey, the most transparent president ever.

Also, for those court cases: Easy evidence.

Something I hadn't thought about until just now but seems like common sense after Asha said it: we definitely need immediate new laws about how agencies create and share videos after this administration full of 10 year old boys is done trying to meme us into authoritarianism

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 6h

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Corrupt Pam Bondi is going to put anyone she decides is "AntiFa" on a fishing boat and then murder them.
It doesn't matter if there's any evidence they're really AntiFa or if they've done anything wrong.
Bondi will have her drunk/sexual predator pal Pete Hegseth & his henchmen blow them up.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

As FBI Dir Comey comes to answer charges of lying to Congress, MAGA Bondi fails to cover FBI Dir Patel’s lies to Congress.

Former FBI director James B. Comey is expected to plead not guilty to charges that he made false statements to Congress, making his first court appearance in a case President Trump demanded that prosecutors charge despite DOJ concerns about insufficient evidence.
