Attorney General Pam Bondi came before the Judiciary Committee today.

But she refused to answer a raft of important questions.

On Tom Homan's bribe.

On Donald Trump's new luxury plane.

On January 6th pardons.

On illegal strikes in the Caribbean.

On Epstein.

The stonewalling was staggering.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.

We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory โ€” and I lived through the Nixon years.

Let's all agree not to pay taxes this spring. Who's gonna come after millions of us?

Seriously considering not paying taxes in the spring. What would happen if millions refused? Who's left at the IRS? Am I gonna get form letter threatening me? Again, if millions don't pay, what they gonna do?

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do โ€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

Illinois and Chicago sue the Trump administration over National Guard deployment The parties are asking a judge to block the Trump administration from federalizing the Illinois National Guard and from sending to Illinois any guard members from other states, including Texas.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

โ€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Actionโ€

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law theyโ€™ve been forced to enforce.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

Itโ€™s illegal and un-American.
