BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Trump is blatantly weaponizing the justice system to attack his political enemies while handing out pardons to his crooked allies and those who will commit violence on his behalf. So much for “law and order.” [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

If the vast vast majority of Americans want reasonable gun controls and they can't get passed by the Congress then our democracy is broken. Or to be more accurate, it has been corrupted. The consciences and reason of our DC leaders have been purchased...for a pittance. Stop the $$ to stop the guns.

Notre Dame joins Iowa State and Kansas State and says no to a bowl. I couldn't be happier that teams are rejecting bowls. They have long been one of sports' biggest scams.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.

He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

I wish people could finally accept this.
