Of all the many, many questions Pamela Jo Bondi refused to answer today, the most incendiary was about whether she's seen photos of Donald Trump with unclothed underage girls. It is so damning that she couldn't just say, "No."

😁

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs on China, U.S. soybean farmers have lost their biggest customer and are grappling with higher prices for farming equipment.

Now, Trump has said he will bail out farmers — supposedly with the tariff revenue that caused the crisis to begin with.

Hello?

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

Donnie Downturn Doofus......

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

The only WAR in America is in Trump's Dementia!
He is desperately trying to provoke war ANYWHERE under the mistaken belief there are no ELECTIONS in WARTIME.
Congress and the Supreme Court have the power. But the Military will, in the end, be the deciding factor.

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.

John Pavlovitz on Pam Bondi:

Who said ICE isn’t detaining and arresting Black folks? Some of y’all must’ve forgotten that to “them,” we all look the same. You must’ve overlooked decades of police brutality, wrongful arrests, detentions 👇🏾

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

Think about this: at nearly the same time, Pam Bondi was refusing to answer whether the FBI had images of Trump and young girls obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s safe, and Mike Johnson was refusing to answer when he would swear in Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th vote for the Epstein petition.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

It’s day seven of the government shutdown. For an entire week now, Republicans have refused to reach a bipartisan agreement to fund our government and protect health care for American citizens. They’re failing their own constituents.
