Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I talked to him yesterday.

He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Do you have a friend or family member who is MAGA, who is parroting the lies and awful messaging being pushed by Republicans?

Are they saying β€œOur tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for Medicaid or insurance for *immigrants”? (*sorry, refuse to use their racist language here)

Show them this!

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child Under a plea agreement, Morris was given a 10-year sentence, but he will serve only six months in an Oklahoma jail.

Texas Megachurch Pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexual abuse charges against a 12 year-old girl in the 80s. Morris admitted to five felony counts and was given a 10-year sentence, but will only serve only six months.

Six months is NOT ENOUGH.

Chicago isn’t a β€œwarzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough.

But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

This is the most inept administration to let the government shut down. Is it because then there will not be a vote to release the Epstein files? This regime is holding us hostage and Mike Johnson is enabling it to the detriment of Americans! We deserve better than this! #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

No, Good People Don't Still Support Him Everyone believes they're essentially a good human being.

I'll say it again: no good people still support him.

That's just how this is.

If this offends you, look in the mirror.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
