Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

He makes Charlie Brown (re: football w/ lucy) look like a model of sanity and well placed trust given today's reality.

continue the DHS shut down beyond when they say β€œice has reformedβ€œ - because terrorism cannot be reformed (lawless people don’t suddenly start following new laws)

… obviously we could continue having TSA, and anything of value under a different federal agency.

It would save billions πŸ’°

@schumer.senate.gov has to go. He is not qualified or capable of being the opposition leader our country needs right now.

He's gotta go, for the good of the country. It's more important than his ego.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Agents Who Shot Marimar Martinez Caught On Video Saying 'Do Something, Bitch' Newly released body camera footage shows Border Patrol agents swerving their car into the Chicago woman before shooting her five times.

CBP agents swerved their car into an innocent woman, shot her five times, DHS lied about it and tried to cover it up, and the shooter was congratulated after for "excellent service."

This wasn't just an attempted murder. It was an attempted assassination.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ β€œnew restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but…
β€œDoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide”

…sure did the trick

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

As we dig into this scandal, can we revisit the question about why the president's son-in-law, who has no formal role in this administration, keeps showing up at high-level negotiations with actual world leaders?

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

This is the only sane stance to take. They are properly defying all judicial accountability. There is no reforming them. It's a criminal, violent organization.

Thank you.

Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?"

ICE Director Lyons: "Yes."

Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."
