She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

The American people deserve transparency, and we should not be covering up disgraceful and dangerous crimes.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.
Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.
NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people.
And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.
Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

You know what to do.
A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.
This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.
