โ€œI think itโ€™s valuable that the American people get a sense of what youโ€™ve refused to answer today.โ€ Senator Adam Schiff went on to list the various questions Bondi refused to answer.

Bondi was hired to be Trumpโ€™s shill. Sheโ€™s doing that job well.

Hereโ€™s an idea. Maybe if you want the Epstein story to go away, you stop doing things to put it back in the news. Like holding secret meetings between the Justice Department and the White House to strategize about โ€œEpstein.โ€ My write-up in the replies.

State Dep't officials asked who, exactly, can qualify for the Trump administration's South Africa refugee program.

The answer, emailed days later by a top department official, was that program is intended for white people.

Whistleblower Documents Implicate Emil Bove in Criminal Contempt Order by Chief Judge Boasberg Email released by whistleblower would presumably implicate Bove in the โ€œcontumacious conductโ€ identified by Chief Judge Boasberg.

Reuters: Chief Judge "Boasberg said on Thursday he may initiate disciplinary proceedings against Justice Department lawyers for their conduct in a lawsuit."

If you don't see the connection to Emil Bove, you're missing the extra import of this.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates โ€œlike dogsโ€, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

Republicans in Congress now own the health care systemโ€”so letโ€™s call it what it is: Trumpcare.
