Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
An Estonian Defense League member was sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison for spying for Russiaβs FSB, leaking military and border details. There's a reason Russia was seeking this information.

Oh look the party that screams βfamily valuesβ every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But theyβll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

A CBS correspondent told The Independent, βThe fact that we donβt have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisonsβ true goal here is. And itβs not journalism.β

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

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
