Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Misleading. It's a stupid system we have in CA but basically: Gov reviews all the bills at once. He signs some. He doesn't sign but also doesn't veto someβ€”they still become law but like, he doesn't "endorse" them. And he vetoes some. Vetoes can be overridden by 2/3 majority.

Sen. HIRONO: The Department of Justice has become the Department of Revenge and Corruption. The double standard of this Justice Department is clear. The American people are waking up to the corruption, favoritism, and lawlessness.

One of my political hot takes is we should elect the president in January and swear them in in March, because Americans are way too fucking stupid to realize that a president elected in November 2020 wasn’t president in 2020.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Remember how a week ago a guy killed 4 people and lit a church on fire, and MAGA was ready to send the military after leftists, but since it came out that he was hardcore MAGA, the story disappeared completely in the mainstream media?

I’m not gonna tell you what Pepperidge Farm does. You know.
