Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“We’ll schedule it as soon as she wants”?

She’s been demanding it for weeks but Republicans keep blocking her.

They really really really don’t want the files to come out

🤷‍♂️

Welcome to the finding out phase of the game

Lol

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

If only someone could have predicted this

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay: “It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

Sen. Kennedy with another set of probing questions about Epstein 👇

KENNEDY: Have you interviewed Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No senator

K: Do you plan to?

B: If he wants to talk to the FBI--

K: Don't you think you ought to talk to him after this interview? Maybe we ought to get Lutnick in here

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

If you stayed home because "reasons" ("muh Gaza!!", "I can't vote for the lesser of two evils!", etc), hope you're liking what is going on at this point because you couldn't be bothered.

But let's be honest, you don't care. You're going to pretend it wasn't your fault and blame someone else.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Listening to this again, I think there's a decent chance that Trump couldn't make out the name Ghislaine Maxwell or, perhaps, couldn't remember who she was and was just blustering his way through it with his usual "we're looking at that strongly" bullshit.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

A summary of the current GOP plan on the shutdown:

1.) We are actually the stewards of healthcare (ignore your premiums, plez)

2.) If the democraps don't open government, we'll ruin our own voters lives.

3.) *vague heavy breathing sounds from Stephen Miller's office*

It took two days for WaPo to bury this story in their paper. NYTimes and Boston Globe still have nothing per my search.

I’d even go so far as to say “I’d take it as a threat too” but agree with the perma ban being too far.

myself? like, is that rhetorical or if you were in a similar position and it was directed at you, how would you perceive that messages intent?

because at a minimum it would be suggestive they think someone should shoot you and it’s really, really obvious that was likely the point.

so again, it’s not even a little surprising albeit an over punishment.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

"Do you have any idea ... how much of the Joint Terrorism Task Force's resources have had to be reprioritized to fight these domestic terrorists?"

When there's another *actual* terrorist attack in America, you're going to hear this Stephen Miller quote replayed so much you'll hear it in your sleep.

Or as corporate media would ask:

"Why won't Democrats open the government up?"

"That's why I shut down the House and sent all our members home to their districts for three weeks. See? Nothing to hide!"

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

The president won't rule out a pardon for the convicted pedophile and sex trafficker who worked for his best friend, another convicted pedophile and sex trafficker who died in prison on his watch.

Probably nothing to see here. Just a diligent civil servant not wanting to speak too hastily.

Two people whose original claims to fame were that the other staffers at the New York Times thought they were whiny weirdos.

One felt "ostracized" because he liked Chik fil A, the other quit because she was "bullied" there.

They're the poster children for self-imposed cancel culture martyrdom.

They really don't want to release the Epstein Files, huh.
