When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

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.

If they have the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, they have the power.

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

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.

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

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.

Yeah, but my history book didnโ€™t tell me that Taylor would drop a new album and sell merch at Target while kids are zip-tied together in Chicago and the Army is sent to Portland and coffee is unaffordable to the masses and I would still need to make supper every nightโ€ฆ

You can joke about Pam Bondiโ€™s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but Iโ€™m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. โ€” This should shake everyone to their core.

You want to know what a couple of decades of standardized testing has done to literacy rates?

Look around, friends.

Chicago is not the enemy. Fellow Americans are not the enemy.

Attorney General Bondi is enabling President Trumpโ€™s war on Americans.

Yes. Appalled about the request and the firing.

Of course, I was in a hyper-literate space and people there still read the news, so take from this story what you will.

Of all the things happening in our country right now, I think the falling literacy rate is one of the most disconcerting and harmful.

I was in a Kansas bookstore yesterday, and two women in front of me were discussing the Kansas Eisenhower Museum Director who refused to give Trump a sword from the museum and was fired.

They were appalled, and it became a conversation between several others in line. The news is getting outโ€ฆ

They will keep them busy watching AI slop videos while they dismantle democracy...

Bread and circuses.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.
