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

Even the American Conservative is skeptical of the Trump administration’s asserted rationale for US aggression toward Venezuela. An interesting read. 10/7/25 … 1/ www.theamericanconservative.com/what-does-th...

What Does the U.S. Want in Venezuela?

The administration is making it difficult to discern what it perceives to be our interests in Latin America.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I’m just gonna leave this here. When it speaks for itself, why try to add more clutter? This is succinct and on point as is!

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America

A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

If MAGA could read, maybe they would find this as abhorrently stupid as the rest of us do.

This absolute orange moron is completely clueless and his cult laps it all up.

I wonder if we will have a National Guard commander who will ever say enough…or a soldier who says this is unlawful and doesn’t follow these unlawful orders and actually defends the Constitution and American people….I WONDER

Angus King says that he might switch his vote from YES to NO on the Senate CR, due to how the GOP is refusing to lift a finger on healthcare.

Honestly, a part of my cynically wondered if his original YES vote was to allow him to switch to NO later in order to give Dems the appearance of momentum.

In America a few big companies are trying to gain control of AI. In China AI is being developed as open source to benefit the whole country. We may lose this on due to greed too.

China is quietly upstaging America with its open models

How worried should OpenAI and other labs be?

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "I've ended seven wars. At least half of them was because of my ability at trade and because of tariffs. If I didn't have tariffs to throw around a little bit, you would have at least 4 wars waging with thousands of people a day being killed ... we're getting close to settling 8."
