Imagine going around raiding restaurants and kidnapping employees then complaining that you can't grab a sandwich and use their potty.

When a bag of cash changes hands, it's a solid case.
But under Trump's DOJ, friends like Tom Homan get protection, opponents get prosecution.

Disbar and charge her for lying to congress

Bill Leibenguth @bill-leibenguth.bsky.social · 1d

Bondi is certainly confused. She can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but can’t indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Why?

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 14h

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

The gold price action at this point is simple: Asset managers, reserve managers and pension managers around the world have concluded the US has become less reliable, and they hold too many $. Given the dearth of alternatives, managers are slowly diversifying into gold. But the gold market is tiny.

"this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no one wants to defend a pedo. It's just a matter of time.”
One Republican texted me that if there's a discharge vote on Epstein they expect a “jail break" of over 100 members”

The president is so pleased that ICE is illegally arresting people

Rep. Chuy García @chuygarcia.house.gov · 19h

Yesterday’s ruling confirms what we already knew: ICE is illegally arresting people without warrants, often based on racial profiling.

This consent decree must be vigorously enforced, and federal officials who break the law must be held accountable.

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.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
