Attorney General Bondi is about to be sworn in under oath.

Chicago is currently under siege by the President she runs cover for.

SOON: Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Senate Judiciary Cmte. @alivitali.bsky.social breaks it down.

It’s the news from Portland you’ve all been waiting for: the emergency naked bike ride will be Sunday Oct 12 at 2:30pm

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

"The Trump WH is abusing power and hurting people but faces resistance from a deeply ingrained liberal and democratic US culture," says @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social. Small wins "counteract Trump’s intimidation, making him seem smaller."

Yep, shrinking Trump is the key

The Trump administration is escalating its surveillance of tens of millions of *legal* immigrants, forcing them to refrain from expressing opinions that someone might deem “anti-American.” It’s a clear attack on free speech and the First Amendment. bit.ly/4823Brc

“But his real message doesn’t have anything to do with what happens after the arrest.
It’s about signaling to cops which people they should consider acceptable targets as they dispense the on-the-ground violence of the state”
