Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Schiff is really good at this.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

That was the plan all along- use the shutdown to implement project 2025, and as cover for more union busting and illegal layoffs. Thats why the GOP left town early and refused to negotiate!

Republicans are insisting on a budget that'll kick millions off healthcare and raise costs for the rest of us. If they dropped these cruel demands, the Trump Shutdown would end today. app.sosha.ai/s/Ij0dsPXi

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

Charlie Kirk: Joe Biden should be "put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America"

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear…

📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.
