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.

There was a time when I thought Bill Barr was as bad as they could get.

Then Pam Bondi speaks.

The phrase “I only believe what I see” isn’t true either. Most people believe what they want. No matter what they see.

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

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

Are we all clear on this?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

I’m probably not alone in my confusion about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent behavior. But my theory is that she knows — or assumes — that the Epstein files will bring down some GOP members, facilitating her own rise to power.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

For years we warned about this: The “Enabling Act of 1933”, which allowed Hitler to seize control of all branches of the German government, served as the template for “Project 2025” — and Trump’s DNA is all over it.
