Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

This line from Politico Playbook jumped out at me, in their coverage of the Comey arraignment.

Erm, this is precisely the problem with our mainstream media. Journalists constantly downplayed the obvious threat from Trump in 2024. Some of us didn't
