Pam Bondi’s testimony in front of the Senate was both contemptuous and dismissive. She is supposed to work for the country not just the President.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.
