Many people will turn away and not pay for itβobviously, theyβll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.
Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

Renewables have officially overtaken coal in Australia for the first time. β‘π¦πΊ In September, renewables hit record highs while coal fell to record lows. The shiftβs no longer theoretical β itβs happening in real time. Clean energy is now the backbone of Australiaβs power grid. ππ¨ #EnergyTransition

After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit her with this one: "Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." Suddenly, she went SILENT.π₯ She knows.
You're phucked, Pam....just sayin'
Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.
No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
