The bought & paid for SC majority is all in for Trump’s Republican /Project 2025 agenda.

Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com · 3h

NEW: A report from pro-voting groups warns that if the Supreme Court rules to gut a key safeguard against racial gerrymanders this term, it’ll be “enough to cement one-party control of the U.S. House for at least a generation.”

As always, a lying sack of ——. They’re trying to normalize fascism.

Joshua Failé @joshuafaile.bsky.social · 3h

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

She knows not to lie to Congress. Just don’t answer. Bondi knows what goes around comes around. Prosecutions coming in 2028.

Trump's whole team is doing his dirty work. #EpsteinFiles

Good questioning. But is there a reason you can’t say “topless teen girls”? Because that’s the service Epstein offered: teen and preteen girls for sex.

Bondi wouldn’t answer because she was afraid somebody wd catch her perjuring. She’s as bad as the rest of this bunch of grifters, liars, reprobates.

Judy @judyfud.bsky.social · 2h

If the answer was No, she would have said No.
Her tactic is to deflect, not answering the question, so she can't be charged with perjury later

Good, and thank you, but much better would’ve been not referring to the child victims as “young women,” and and not answering for her that, “so you know nothing about that, okay” when she obviously did and you excused her from perjuring herself for what, some sense of decorum the victims never had?

Did the FBI find photos of Trump with young women in Epstein’s files?

Open enrollment for Medicare will be over by Dec. 31. Does he expect us to make this important decision before Congress decides how much insurance will cost?
