The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 14h

Pritzker/Newsom see it as a defining fact of the moment that Trump is consolidating authoritarian power daily and using it to subjugate Blue America like an enemy nation within. Other Dems should stop the Beltway-speak about Trump laying "traps" for them and engage.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

This morning AG Pam Bondi proved she is a #PedophileProtector of the highest order. And what she saw in the #Epstein files about Trump shocked her to the core so badly she did a 180 on releasing them. And has clammed up ever since.

It must be regime-threatening.

WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein?

BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct

WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them
