At Bondi hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley calls the pulling of phone toll records "tapping," which is an entirely different thing. You can't "tap" phone calls from 2021 in 2023, you can just look at what numbers they called.

Josh Hawley was today years old when he found out that if you are doing bad things and you're a Senator, the FBI can still investigate you. HEY JOSH, you're just another guy, and kind of an unimpressive one at that.

Does Sen. Josh Hawley really want them to call Jack Smith up so he can discuss what a duplicitous, complicit coward that Hawley is, re: Jan 6?

😆 Let's go back to the video tape...

Josh Hawley just lied during Bondi’s hearing today.
He claimed that the Biden Administration “tapped” his phone.
What they actually did was request phone records for the time period around the J6 insurrection. Hardly the same thing.

No Josh Hawley, your white skin and position of power does not make you immune from investigation.

The text of the law is clear. This is totally illegal.

This is another illegitimate attempt by Russ Vought to “traumatize” hardworking civil servants, which seems to be what gets him out of bed in the morning.

They Came Before Dawn What happened in South Shore was not law enforcement. It was intimidation, disguised as justice.

Government shutdown updates: Trump calls Democrats' strategy a 'kamikaze attack' The Senate is expected to vote again on proposals to end shutdown that have failed before.

Here's the deal:

Democrats want to extend credits for the Affordable Health Care insurance program and make them permanent.

Republicans do not!

Why?

They want to privatize the insurance market to make billionaires money.

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

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

'No evidence — they just keep saying it': GOP talking point smacked down by reporter Major new GOP talking point smacked down by reporter

Reporter demolishes the GOP wiretap fantasy. Call logs from Jan. 6 probes are not surveillance. Courts upheld searches. Even Judge Cannon did not deem Mar a Lago search illegal. Eight months in, they produced zero evidence of Biden weaponization.

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.

Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

I heard a guy on TV saying these shutdowns occur under both Democrats and Republicans, but there hasn't been a shutdown when Dems were in control of all three branches since the 1970s under Carter.

The two parties are not the same.

Statement from Ken Paxton

This is straight from the fascist playbook. It will ceate fear and mistrust among Democratic groups in Texas and it is ultimately designed to suppress votes.

This is *exactly* the kind of thing John Roberts uses the shadow docket to make legal for Trump without creating precedent for President AOC.

Remember that Trump has said that if SCOTUS rules the tariffs illegal next month, Trump has said they'll pay all the tariffs back.

Consumers, of course, are fucked--they get nothing back.

The reason why Trump can’t simply say “no” when asked if he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is he needs her to continue to cover for him. Giving her hope for a pardon guarantees she will keep her mouth shut about what she knows.

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”
