Might Pam Bondi's Latest Prosecutorial Abuse Give Us Ponies and Puppies? - emptywheel
Pam Bondi's obeisance to Trump's demand she conduct a frivolous investigation into Democrats to make his own Epstein scandal go away may be a gift to Jim Comey.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Here's a legit question: CloudFlare, a company I'd never heard of, cost my company tens of thousands of dollars today because of its outage. But today's corporate oligarchy is an elaborately constructed accountability avoidance machine. So how can I get compensated for our losses?

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst".
But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record.
It was always about cruelty, not public safety.
