Tonight Oct 7, 2025 Lawrence O Donnell @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on the #LastWord @lastword.msnbc.com does a recap of what happened at the hearing between Senator Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov & the combative, answer-avoiding most inept AG, Pam Bondi. #PamBondi

Pam Bondi at the hearing where she was very defensive & didn't answer questions like she's supposed to.Very cocky & disrespectful to the Senators asking the questions. Also she keeps looking at her binder like a script so she can keep track of the lies. What say you Mr @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com?

Oversight Attorney General Pam Bondi showed up for an oversight hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee today, and she brought her best Scarlett O’Hara demeanor along with her.

Congress continues to fail at providing the checks & balances the Constitution intends on the executive branch, but Senate Democrats are working hard to try and get it there. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

All this malarkey of a dumpster fire of a Trump administration WOULD make even President Nixon flinch in disgust. And, it IS Pam Bondi's (who refuses to answer questions at the hearing today) legacy. #PamBondi

Hi from New York city, Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov Please please don't ever give up in fighting back ICE / military presence in Chicago. New York stands with you & the people of #Chicago.

This observation right here by @sethabramson.bsky.social hit the nail. Pam freaking Bondi was & STILL is, Trump's personal lawyer. That's why Trump made her AG & that's why she won't answer any questions at today's hearing. We all saw that coming. #PamBondi

"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

Proud Democrat here.I love my country.Our Democracy is in dire straits.This is not the time @kamalaharris.com to profit off a book blaming Joe Biden who did nothing but helped you. You conceded quickly,did not ask for a recount esp in all Swing States instead you opt to make money off your book.

EXACTLY. I just want to know why you didn't ask for a recount. Why you didn't stand up and fight for what you knew was right.

I’d love to relive the frenetic yesteryear of the campaign, but I’m a little overwhelmed with all the fascism, which was the result of you and the party not challenging the obvious fraud in swing states that occurred at Trump’s direction to Elon Musk. At least two of those states had clear problems.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme
Robert Reich Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.

Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer β€”Β it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.

Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

The 2024 election. I truly wish you would grab a coffee and sit down with the experts who do the stats. Ask them to review them with you. However, to say what you are saying now about Biden, is very cruel. Do you know how much that will break Biden's heart? He is definitely a man who cares for all

I think you are really cruel with blaming Joe Biden not getting out of the race sooner. He didn't have to get out at all. If anyone thinks that man didn't care to do whatever he could for democracy, well then nothing would have been good enough. All his dedication, he deserves better from you all
