I asked Attorney General Bondi about the Justice Department carrying out vengeance prosecutions of Trump’s political opponents.

Again and again, she refused to answer.

She's the Chief Legal Officer for the people of the United States, not the President’s personal lawyer.

Statement by Democracy Forward President & CEO Skye Perryman on President Trump’s Targeting of New York Attorney General Letitia James: - Democracy Forward

Today’s indictment of NY Attorney General Letitia James appears to be motivated out of a desire to punish anyone who dares to challenge or stand up to the President.

When the law is twisted for personal gain, every citizen’s freedom is at risk.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

No Kings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in.

Want to hear about a party that isn’t too keen on democracy, deporting people who side with their opposition and stifling the opposition press to remain in power?

The Alien and Sedition Acts have a LOT to say.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

Just so.

Justice department folks undermining justice. GOP women setting back women. "Christians" corrupting christianity. FBI ruining intelligence/public safety. Defense officials being offensive. Health department destroying our health. Education officials ruining education. This is Trump & the GOP.

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Legality doesn't matter.
Need doesn't matter.
Crime doesn't matter.
Humanity doesn't matter.
Logic doesn't matter.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

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.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity - BBC News Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

"Solar ... is now so cheap that large markets for solar can emerge in a country in the space of a single year."

Another historic milestone for the energy transition, which is doing things seemingly daily that I was told quite often until quite recently were impossible www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Stunning Corruption In The White House It’s a feature of Trump.

The firehose of corruption makes the reality of it staggering. And that’s the point.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

"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

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."
