Angry people are not always wise.

WATCH: Did the FBI find those photographs? 😶

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

“..’ Our family gatherings are filled with crying and trying to figure out how we get past this moment,” Mr. Aguayo said. “People are being terrorized. People are being attacked. That’s what it feels like.”

Why didn't Democratic Senators ask Pam Bondi why she didn't prosecute Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 at the very time he was running his child sex ring in Florida?!!

Barack Obama should plan a speech at a large venue and then get on stage and say "Release the Epstein files" and then leave

I wish the press would cover this more explicitly. It is right before US.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."

"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."

ICYMI, @gtconway.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social in the latest episode of George Conway Explains It All:

YouTube video by Silicon Wafers BREAKING: Putin is on an Arc of Relentless Escalation and Aggression

Putin’s latest Valdai address in Sochi was full of ominous threats toward Europe. The Kremlin is overreaching — doubling down on myth and delusion preparing for more direct confrontation. Add to the inflammatory hybrid assaults across NATO countries. youtu.be/Gq2dDqj9jmk

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

🥱 hi

Democrats are winning the shutdown Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

New in PN: Dems are winning the shutdown

"If Republicans are on board with Trump’s effort to become a dictator, there’s not much point in negotiating. You might as well force them to own their priorities, including hugely increasing healthcare costs, then use it against them on the campaign trail."

Thanks, New Yorker

"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

I share Mindi's despair. I don't know how to fix that either.

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.

On a purely historical level, revolutions have startes for significantly less.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

“Just this week, government claims about why a Border Patrol agent opened fire on a Chicago resident turned out to be one lie after another.” Quote is from @froomkin.bsky.social and linked article is below. Still murky but becoming more clear.

I made a resolution this mornjng to post at least one thing a day that isn’t about the political apocalypse. Mostly for my sanity but maybe yours, too! So this is another kitchen post but I’m slow cooking a pork shoulder in a West Indian rub.

Does Sen. Josh Hawley really want them to call Jack Smith up so he can discuss what a duplicitous, complicit coward that Hawley is, re: Jan 6?
