You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

In summary…

Five takeaways from Pam Bondi's tense, partisan Senate testimony

Nerves were raw in a hearing that covered much ground, and saw Trump's attorney general go on the attack.

The Senate should vote to find unserious Pam Bondi in contempt.

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.

I'd like to congratulate @cbsnews.com on hiring as editor-in-chief, the dumbest person in America, Bari Weiss

You should sell all the stations, equipment, and furniture. There is no recovery from this. Murrow, Cronkite and even Katie Couric would now deny they ever worked there

Surely, Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem are committing crimes that can be charged as state crimes, for which a presidential pardon does not apply.

As usual Leavitt does not answer the question.

Leavitt's statement that the *judge* is "untethered in reality and the law," is the perfect example of the Trump regime's talking bobble-heads disrespectful push back to prop-up and please dear leader.

Pathetic.

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Judge Diane Goodstein, wife of former Democratic Rep. and Sen. Arnold Goodstein, blocked release of SC voter data to the DOJ. The governor intervened, and the state Supreme Court overturned her order. She’d received death threats before her home fire.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it

"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

It's him.
It's this prick right here.
He is a HUGE part of the reason we are where we are.
He is overwhelmingly responsible for the flaming clownfuck that is the current judiciary.
He's always wanted it to be his legacy. It will be, just not the way he planned.
Fuck mitch mcconnell.
