They’re going to cause another great depression, but not before they sack the treasury and enrich and cash out their crypto pockets. Get ready. Stock up, hunker down, buy only essentials, boycott MAGA businesses and red states. Get out of the stock market. Don't feed the fascists!

It is hard to believe GOP Senators just sit there and let Bondi lie, disrespect, and commit perjury and do nothing. It’s appalling.

It’s the US Senate. Act like it GOP.

It was fun seeing bribe for hire Pam Bondi get annihilated in her bullshit perjury-filled Senate hearing today, but I would’ve much preferred seeing her sent to prison for fraud, corruption and bribery.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Texans will vote on 17 constitutional amendments on Nov. 4.

Here’s the ballot in plain English: If you’re wealthy, the state promises to protect your fortune. For everyone else, there’s small perks, patriotic gestures, and pothole-filling promises.

Texas Is Asking Voters to Protect the Rich and Punish the Poor. Will They Do It?

Among 17 potential constitutional amendments, voters will be deciding the fate of corporate welfare and inherited wealth.

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.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

I dare Stephen Naziferatu Miller to talk his tough Nazi talk directly to the faces of everyday Americans, at a public town hall. He would pee his Peewee German pants.

There was a time when I thought Bill Barr was as bad as they could get.

Then Pam Bondi speaks.
