We all needed this. Thank you, Indy.

You know you’ve lost the plot when your argument is β€œat least he wasn’t a Zionist”.

Love this. I'm not a fan of Zazlav, but Abdy and DeLuca deserve a lot of credit for the fact that the movie of the year is once again from Warner Brothers.

Israel and the US both need a change in leadership, ASAP.

If part of you is thinking this attack might not be so bad because of how evil Iran’s regime is, here’s a recap of a century of lessons learned.

Anti-semitism is indeed very popular right now.

I was right about the Netflix deal not going through, sadly. Sometimes I hate being right.

But this is not over. Still a lot of ways this takeover could go. It will take at least a year, and there will be a very different political climate by then Im sure.

They should just give their seats to Epstein’s victims. As many as possible, and in the front rows.

"This elevated prevalence could be attributed to various factors, including increased awareness of the condition, improved diagnostic methods, and broadened diagnostic criteria."

I worry that this is an idle threat. I can just as easily see them focusing on pet issues (climate change, gun control) or coming apart over divisive issues (Israel).

But I agree. Anti-corruption reforms and accountability should dominate the next few years, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Newegg's Chairman Has Been Detained In China Few details have been released about the arrest of Zhitao He, a Chinese citizen, earlier this month. But the popular electronics retailer says the incident hasn't affected its business.

Kinda wild that this flew under the radar. www.pcmag.com/news/neweggs...

Mitch McConnell is why nothing happened to Trump for attempting to steal an election. However… he could stop him from stealing the next one.

Maybe he’ll even get a McCain moment. Right on the heels of SCOTUS tariff strike down would be beautiful.

She’s implying that it was intentional, which it really doesn’t seem like it was.

They have no control over whether Brenden Carr will send threatening messages to CBS.

Talarico was lucky and Crocket is understandably salty about it.

I get it. Again, she is in violation of the Epstein Transparency Act. Focus on how she’s breaking the law is all I’m saying.

Like, compare someone providing legal defense to a murderer (legal and fine) with someone providing an alibi to protect a murderer (illegal and bad). I think the distinction is important.

I get it, and I agree, but I think it misses the more important point. The strongest argument against Bondi is not that she’s merely defending potential perps, it’s that she’s breaking the law to do so.

I love Raskin, but I don’t really like this answer. He could say β€œa real lawyer would follow the law,” rather than this virtue signaling stuff.

I mean, if you’re representing a perpetrator, your job is to represent them, not β€œidentify with victims,” however unpopular that may be.

Jamie Raskin said in his book, Unthinkable, that in retrospect, Trump's violation of the emoluments clause was a stronger case to impeach him on.

I hope to see more people talking about this and it doesn't get lost in all of this nonsense.

I get the politics of it, but I'm just wondering if there is a better format than this? Like, I know it can't go on all day, but this is ridiculous, IMO.

I think this format of only giving committee members five minutes each is bad. Nothing is accomplished at all, other than political theater. Am I wrong? Is there a rules change that would make these hearings more effective?

WATCH: Raskin makes opening statement in Bondi oversight hearing
YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Raskin makes opening statement in Bondi oversight hearing

Jamie Raskin's opening statement in Pam Bondi's hearing is fantastic. It might as well be the opening statement for her impeachment trial. Raskin continues to be one of the most articulate and sobering voice in Congress.
