Pam Bondi wasn't going to answer any questions today. We all knew that in advance. People can watch the hearing if they want to, but the idea that this is an Attorney General testifying before Congress is laughable. This is just a Trump personal lawyer putting on a performance for her client on TV.

I have never in my life seen congressional hearings like I have recently. No answers, screaming over someone asking questions, and just lying about things we have seen with our own eyes.

The DOJ no longer exists
It is now the Department of Corruption

I remember when the DOJ was supposed to be unbiased law enforcement and insulated from political pressure.
Not Bondi

Trump, Miller, and Hegseth are busy breaking the morale of the US military, sending US troops against their neighbors, and turning the USMC 22nd MEU into a pseudo DEA. Meanwhile, China makes moves.

I’m in Chicago where Trump continues his push for the largest mass deportation campaign in American history and to send federal troops to U.S. cities β€” and local leaders and civilians continue to push back.

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 β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children.

A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year.

We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

He's back at the courthouse.

And DHS still won't tell us his name.

The Trump administration will stop annual reports on hunger in Americaβ€”right after Republicans made massive cuts to food assistance programs.

This is yet another example of Trump hiding numbers he doesn’t like. Meanwhile, children and families will go hungry.
