Hakeem Jeffries came to play today as Lawler tries to confront him: "You’re not going to talk over me because you don’t want to hear what I have to say so why don’t you just keep your mouth shut."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Always bring it back to the Epstein Files.

Release the Epstein Files—seat Rep. Grijalda.

That's Trump's weakness and Achilles cankle.

He can't run or hobble away from it.

Republicans know it.

They know they radicalized their base for the past decade.

They know Trump is all up in those files.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

He’s too fucking stupid to know what habeas corpus is. This is what happens when you give the village idiot the keys to the kingdom 🤡

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

Invading our state with military troops.

Sending in war helicopters in the middle of the night.

Arresting elected officials asking questions.

His masked agents already are grabbing people off the street.

Separating children from their parents.

Creating fear.

Taking people for “how they look.”

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

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

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.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

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
