So, Jack Smith working with a subpoena to acquire general phone logs is a breech of privacy but the DOJ can just randomly spy on the congress people and their computer searches for no apparent reason?
The cognitive dissonance of these people never ceases to astonish me.

Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.
The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Amid the flagrant ethics violations among SCOTUS justices, a U.S. senator is demanding Justice Jackson be investigated for attending the Grammies. In a year in which she was nominated for one.
To be fair, Blackburn is really dumb. And hyper partisan. And rarely acts in good faith.
