I wish. But it isn't going to happen under Bondi.
Marshals Service is the enforcement/security for the federal judiciary, part of the U.S. Department of Justice.
US Marshals currently answer to attorney general Bondi.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

"Where's everyone else?"

Excellent point from Marc Elias on the complete lack of elite revulsion to Pam Bondi's sycophantic performance in the Senate yesterday.

Steven Miller supports the President having absolute power.
But, apparently, he didn't mean to say it out loud in an interview.

Plenary authority = absolute power.

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

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.
