Durbin dresses down Pam Bondi. Unfortunately, she doesn't care.

She is a rabid dog proud of her madness.

Dumb question.

Do these ICE agents really think they can do these things with impunity?

Twitter is a scorpion sting. Bluesky is your cat curling beside you on the sofa.

Pam Bondi is the ideal attorney for a mob boss.

I don't know if Mike Johnson realizes this. But his refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva is a bad look for him.

It looks like he's afraid of something.

He probably is.

Mike Johnson, do your f***ing job. Swear in Grijalva.

Now, have a nice day.

Question: Why do ICE agents wear masks?

Answer: Because they're psychotic, racist, hate-filled, violent, bitter, resentful, and their mommies never said to them -- "I love you."

Donald Trump:

"What's wrong with bullying? Absolutely nothing. I love bullying. Whoop-de-doo for bullying. Bravo, bullying. Bullying will make America great again."

The essence of our democracy is inclusion.

We include and we welcome handicapped people, gay people, trans people, brown people, blacks, Asians, Christians, and non Christians.

This -- THIS! -- makes America great.

Question. Why does the top federal prosecutor refuse to indict Letitia James?

Answer. Because there's no there there.

Felons are often fearless. I'm not surprised at Pam Bondi's supercilious manner and her combative, shameless, contentious arrogance.

I was expecting it.

Think of the most arrogant, psychotic, combative, maladjusted person you've ever known.

Multiply him by a factor of 8 and you have Stephen Miller.

Pam Bondi is the most hyper-partisan, arrogant, combative, contentious, sycophantic, bitchy Attorney General of our time.

ICE is deliberately hiring agents who are thugs.

They're ruffians, hooligans, and bullies.

They don't give a damn about the law.

Mike Johnson is shameless.

He is reprehensible, dishonest, and (gasp!) even un-Christian.

Not that he cares.

This Republican Party is dishonest enough to show photos of Vesuvius erupting and claim that it's Portland in flames.

For a change, the Dems have a message.

"We have favored a shutdown because we are here to save healthcare and protect your premiums. Help us to do that."

If I had said what Monica Crowley just said about Trump's "bold, muscular leadership," I'd be accused of sexism.

Somehow, she gets away with it.

Listen. Stephen Miller enjoys being the villain. It's the ultimate sugar-high for him.

He knows he doesn't look like Leonardo diCaprio. So he takes whatever role he can get.

Plus...he's psychotic as hell. It all adds up.

Trump feigns ignorance.

As you know, he's done this before.

I am an American of Mexican descent.

I'm sorry to say that I know DOZENS of my fellow Hispanics who would never vote for a woman for president.

Ignorant. Stupid. And shameful.

Stephen Miller is a cross between Rudolf Hess and Jack the Ripper.

He is as psychotic as they come.

After Trump leaves the White House, we're going to have to fumigate that place for a month.

ICE = the 2025 version of the 1950s KKK.

Observation.

Stephen Miller is psychotic.

He is the Joker in a Batman film.

The party of Satan wants to preserve healthcare for the poor?

Really?

Wow. I didn't notice.
