Now we'll get to see exactly which sold-out, suck up media will attend to kiss his ring.

Democrats demand special counsel investigation of Bondi, accusing her of perjury Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) are calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of perjuring herself wh…

And it will never happen. Because special counsels are what Republicans use to politically destroy Democrats, but they themselves are beyond reproach (no matter how clear or damning the evidence is).

"We're going to do to ICE what they did to USAID" isn't a bad slogan

Judges in Maine cases admonishΒ ICE for falsehoods and violating court orders Four federal judges have ordered ICE to release detainees after discovering the agency filed documents that were false or ignored a judge’s order.

How long will it take, and when will courts begin sanctioning these attorneys who lie? What does it take to start yanking licenses and yeeting these lawyers who are so cavalier about the truth in court? TICK TOCK.

Larry Hogan was always a crypto-MAGA; he's a Trumpist wearing a thin coat of paint.

β€œWhen I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work.”

When Cabinet secretaries act this blithely stupid, it should be incumbent on the questioning senator to make a fool of said official by asking them details of their resume and following up with, "Should a cabinet member be this ignorant and keep their job?"

This is clearly a rule that only applies when Republicans are president, since we all remember Rep Joe Wilson of SC shouting "You lie!" at President Obama during a State of the Union message.

What kind of "police" breaks your car window (~$300-$400), drags you out of it, throws you on the ground, tearing your rotator cuff and gives you a concussion (likely several $K in medical bills) and then drives away?

If your lawmaker uses the phrase "doxxing" when talking about unmasking ICE officials, you need to ask them two questions: 1) When did you start believing in using secret police in America? and 2) When did you stop believing in the Constitution?
