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

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.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.
A screenshot of an X.com post by @AdelitaForAZ , Adelita Grijalva, stating, "The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I'm ready to get to work. Swear me in NOW! @SpeakerJohnson !" followed by a reply from @GavinNewsom , Gavin Newsom, saying, "It's not even November and the GOP are already rigging elections." Below, a news headline from McClatchy by Nikki McCann Ramirez dated September 30, 2025, reads, "DEM SAYS MIKE JOHNSON IS DELAYING HER SWEARING-IN TO PREVENT EPSTEIN VOTE," with a photo of Adelita Grijalva smiling at an event in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown

"If Republicans are on board with Trump’s effort to become a dictator, there’s not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."
Democrats are winning the shutdown
Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

I’m down for this.
The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb ) from 1 day ago, with the caption "Absolutely..." The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.
