Spent 17 years on Twitter/X (same handle, different avatar) and -- like everyone else sane and intelligent -- just couldn't take how crappy it got with EM at the helm.

Looking forward to becoming part of the BSKY community.

Follow me if you feel like it; I'll follow back.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Hey Pam Bondi -- you mentioned that these federal agents are out there working without getting paid during the shutdown. I hope you and the other executive leaders in the DOJ, FBI, DHS, etc. will be refusing your salary pay during this time honor of them.

First, Texas buses thousands of migrants to Chicago as a political stunt. Now, Trump sends the Texas National Guard to "manage" the situation they helped create. The audacity is breathtaking.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

Republican Senator Says ‘It’s Not Up To’ Trump Whether Federal Workers Get Paid: ‘Read the Constitution’

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

Hospitals must be ICE free zones.

People must not be afraid to access medical care.

ICE recently held a man with a broken leg for 37 days (!!!) handcuffed to a hospital bed.

They put him under a pseudonym so no one could find him.

They should never be allowed in healthcare facilities.

I'm in Chicago, getting reports that ICE fascists are occupying MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, IL.

The patient is allegedly in ICE custody, who is in plain clothes & wearing their firearm on their hip.

Previous admins banned ICE fascists from sensitive areas like hospitals & shelters. Not this regime

By the way, we knew Jack Smith subpoenaed republican phone records a few years ago. www.politico.com/news/2023/09...

Court blocks Jack Smith’s access to many of Rep. Scott Perry’s contacts about 2020 election

The appeals panel concluded that prosecutors’ effort to access cellphone communications with colleagues officials violated the lawmaker's constitutional immunity.

As we all know the Republicans released the entire 400+-page Starr Report about former President's Cinton's blow job -- so, yes, why aren't they releasing Epstein Files

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 22h

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

LH-J @thecitizeny.bsky.social · 19h

Everyone knows why. It's now public record. He knows that.

LH-J @thecitizeny.bsky.social · 22h

Unlike all those smart toddlers we see on Facebook reels sassingtheir parents, Pam Bondi apparently isn't able to come up with sassy comebacks to trash & bash Democrat Senators on her own. She read them all from a nicely prepared binder.

A Stetson Law grad [with only a 78% bar exam pass record] vs a Stanford & Harvard Law grad, former prosecutor, former assistant US attorney, former Congressman/Chair of House Intelligence, now Senator on Oversight Committee, and she asks if he's a lawyer?
