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.

Glad folks are getting to the bottom of those who start bad trouble. Wonder why it seems to be often those on the far right?

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

Can you look into a report that Wells Fargo benefited from this raid because the building was in foreclosure.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Gallego has been about as good at messaging on the GOP refusing to fund the government as you can be.

Senator Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov · 15h

Ran into Speaker Johnson and told him exactly how I feel about Republicans shutting down the government to protect pedophiles and jack up health care costs for 24 million Americans.

It is so hard to know what to respond to as each new outrageous action washes over the previous one. No Kings marches have to be enormous. But i fear we will have to go to a general strike.

In America, this has to be illegal. It is absolutely immoral and unjustified. ICE has to be reined in.

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.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

I wonder if that isn't what Hegseth hopes.
Get rid of those with moral and ethical standards, promote those who are in sync with his kill and ravage fantasies.

What an awful situation. I hope you find a path forward thru this challenge. Life is too precious to let that orange felon and his slime keep you down. For me, nature is my great refuge- lowers my blood pressure and reminds me that there is much more to life than his crimes.

Terrifying.
I feel so helpless.
I call my Congresscritter Emmer and get platitudes about the economy.
I donate.
I protest.
I vote.
And shit keeps getting worse.
But we must persevere, get louder, organize bigger, and never give up.
