"Former FBI director politically persecuted by adjudicated felon and rapist for doing his job forced to answer well vetted, unsupported charges."
It's almost like you guys don't know how to write a headline anymore.
Weird how you losing that CPB money is making their boots shine.

Contradictions abound in the life and times of Pete Hegseth, writes @lylerubin.bsky.social. His harangue at Quantico focused on fat troops and fat leaders, and he waxed romantic about accountability, merit, and high standards—then he introduced Donald Trump.

After a nearly five-hour congressional oversight hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared as the “president’s loyalist rather than as a constitutional officer with the appropriate respect for a coordinate branch of government,” Quinta Jurecic argues:
Pam Bondi, Loyal Servant
At a congressional oversight hearing yesterday, the attorney general followed her north star: pleasing the president.

Trump is taking money from universities that enroll large numbers of Latino students and funneling it to high-profile HBCUs. It’s a cynical ploy designed to divide marginalized communities. From Naomi Bethune: trib.al/YjYbSmg
Competing for Crumbs
While adding funding for historically Black colleges and universities, Trump’s Education Department is simultaneously cutting funding to colleges that primarily serve minorities.

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.

Telling people to be shaken to their core is bad advice. I am 0% shocked by these goons. I'm not going to be afraid, you cannot convince me to be afraid. As stated here, the enemy is not afraid, so why in the hell would I be? Conservatives laugh at Dems for being ruled by fear. Cowboy up already

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.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

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.
