Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.

How to win friends and influence people.

Desperately need society to stop rewarding cruelty. To stop unleashing gratuitous, sociopathic cruelty. I think this is a phenomenon driven by the right but it’s infected all of us to one degree or another, and we need to remain cognizant of wanting not to be this way.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

DOGE actually lost money to the turn of $21.7 BILLION!! @senatorblumenthal.bsky.social explains 👇

I believe every word of this actually

Those who claim to be Christian seem to be facing a cross roads. You cannot believe that Jesus Christ himself would be on the side of the masked thugs of ICE.

Because of course he does.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

ICE knock down 84 year old married couple—send wife to hospital bloodied with concussion.

"With no warning the feds charged us, knocked us down and sprayed us. I was hit in the head with a projectile."

Husband was shocked by agents' behavior—and he served 10 years in Vietnam.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Oh yeah, and if they keep the government closed, they don’t have to swear in the last vote to release the Epstein files…

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.

I wake up every day thinking that there is no lower depravity to which this administration can sink, only to be again proven wrong, day after abominable day.

LIVE: Allison Gill - REPUBLICANS DIRTY SHUTDOWN SECRET REVEALED YouTube video by MeidasTouch

I have receipts that republicans can end the shutdown right now without a single democratic vote, and that the trump administration wants this shutdown and that's why they're not ending it. See the proof! www.youtube.com/live/PkEOK7J...

The Trump administration sent federal agents to an ICE processing center in the Chicago area to brutally suppress protesters and the press.

No one should have to fear rubber bullets or tear gas for making their voices heard or reporting on protests.

The ACLU of Illinois is suing.

78% of Americans, including most MAGA supporters, want to extend ACA tax credits.

But Trump doesn’t care about voters. Only donors. And golf.

'Swiftboating' Is Beyond Dirty Politics Jack Ciattarelli's campaign obtained Democrat Mikie Sherrill's unredacted military records amid their heated race for governor in New Jersey.

"Trump and the GOP’s strategy is clear: whether it’s gerrymandering in Texas or blocking duly elected Democratic members of Congress from taking their seats, if they can’t win, they use underhanded tactics to get the outcomes they want."

They Came Before Dawn What happened in South Shore was not law enforcement. It was intimidation, disguised as justice.

What are they hiding? asks Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr PLUS -- Trump's invasion of Illinois is (another) seminal moment.

NEWS: The Pentagon is considering sending the elite military unit that invaded Iraq & Afghanistan into U.S. cities.

The 82nd Airborne Division.

Wake up, people. This not about petty theft and street crime.

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller led troops illegally attack U.S. citizens who peacefully protesting in Portland, Oregon, exercising their First Amendment rights. The world is watching.

One of the most melodramatically malevolent federal officials ever to do it. If we live through this he should maybe become a stock villain of Italian theater.
