Pam Bondi is a disgrace.

I asked Attorney General Pam Bondi whether she would create a federal-state-local task force to investigate the horrific abuses perpetrated through Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring.

Her prolonged response: *crickets*

I have so many things I need to do, but all I really want to do is stay in bed. A memoir.

Trump shares racist video depicting Obamas as apes on Truth Social, then removes it amid bipartisan outrage | CNN Politics President Donald Trump shared a racist video on his social media platform Thursday night that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a jungle, then remo...

Trump's White House defended the racist video that was posted by Trump which depicted the Obamas as apes.

Never forget that . . . as I will never forget the Americans who voted to put this crude and vile man into the most powerful position of the world.

Thank you!!! Since we launched this race for Congress yesterday, we’ve raised over $600K from 30,000 donors — and we’re just getting started.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Hate what brought us together but I'm glad we are together

I see people saying Jan 6th wasn't a failed, but rather a successful coup because Trump is in power.

I'd urge you not to say this. It's disrespectful to those of us who sacrificed to make it fail, and it abdicates responsibility from the millions of Americans who voted for Trump.

Tracking Trump's visits to his properties and other conflicts of interest - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Trump has created untold numbers of conflicts of interest by failing to divest from his business interests before taking office.

Just a reminder that President Trump has visited his golf courses more than 90 times during his second term alone

Had to do a double-take; if you read quickly it looks like she's saying only 1.4% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. But it's 40%. Almost half of SNAP goes to feeding children.

Journalists and congressional staff have asked me what MPD officers think of the federalization shenanigans in DC.

If you are reading this, you are an outlier in terms of civic attentiveness. 1/3rd of Americans didn't vote last election. Most officers don't care. Apathy is the slow death of the US.

Maybe it’s just me, but I was never 100% on board with replacing our entire government with one endlessly self-pitying narcissistic asshole & a squadron of empirically loathsome bootlickers who would gladly burn the entire country down to protect his hide from the consequences of molesting children

The Trump administration released a long-delayed, drastically scaled-back version of the State Department’s annual human rights report. Shrinking it to just one-tenth the length of last year’s. Entire sections on abuses against women and LGBTQ people are gone, replaced by a narrower focus on

BREAKING: Concession workers at Fenway are on strike.

This is the first walkout in the 113 year history of the Boston Red Sox’s stadium.

These essential workers will be on strike as the World Series champion Dodgers come to town this weekend.

Headed into a Homeland Security hearing to demand answers from the architects of cruelty—Noem, Miller, Homan—and to stand up for immigrant families who deserve dignity, not deportation.

Good evening:

Superman just Punched Trump and MAGA in the face! Moments to enjoy!

Happy to report that Superman just punched Trump and MAGA in the face! My new article breaks it all down: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/superman-j...

Found the origins of a familiar political rhetorical device from 2003.

(We did, in fact, receive warnings about al-Qaeda's plans to use aircraft in an attack prior to 9/11)

Utah Sen. Mike Lee Says Selling Off Public Lands Will Solve the West’s Housing Crisis. Past Sales Show Otherwise. Last month, Lee introduced a now-removed amendment to Trump’s policy megabill that mandated the sale of up to 3 million acres. It did little to address the challenges of building affordable housing…

NEW: After Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell public lands was removed from Trump’s megabill, advocates celebrated.

But the senator indicated he would revisit the issue, saying: “I continue to believe the federal government owns far too much land.”

This is Benjamin Netanyahu’s third visit to DC this year.

War criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress.

He should be held accountable for his crimes, not platformed. Beyond shameful.

Isn’t this always the way?
