BONDI: The National Guard is on the way right now as we speak. You're sitting here grilling me and they're on their way to Chicago to keep your state safe.

DURBIN: It's my job to grill you

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

Yes, Wells Fargo was a horrible company long before Trump's fascism. I heard consumer advocate, Clark Howard, declare on his podcast that Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a bank. Remember, banks are beholden to shareholders, credit unions are beholden to their members.

want to close your Wells Fargo account because you want to punish them for siccing ICE on a building of impoverished immigrants that Wells Fargo execs wanted to foreclose and sell?

here's how

Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Josh Hawley!

Josh Hawley, Yale Law School ‘06, Missouri Attorney General 2017-2019, pretending he doesn’t know what tapping a phone means

Faked evidence presented to incite fear and anger.

A clear definition of insanity.

NEW: The rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. is something @marcelias.bsky.social and his ancestors, who fled the Pale of Settlement, never imagined. But history teaches us that staying silent and letting hopelessness take over is never an option.

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

NEW: "No career prosecutor was willing to present the case to a grand jury on Halligan's behalf." lol WONDER WHY! abcnews.go.com/US/special-c...

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

The image is an X post by David French (@DavidAFre ) from 1 day ago, stating: "Does a Fox correspondent not know that we can stop boats at sea, search them, seize any drugs we find, arrest the crew, try them, and imprison them – while also questioning them to help investigate the cartels? The choices aren't between execution and permission." It includes a reply by Charles Gasparino (@CGA ) from 1 day ago, asking: "Why would anyone be against using US forces to stop drugs from coming into this country? Because international stipulates that we need to poison our kids? x.com/DavidAFre..."

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Rosie O'Donnell warns 'people will die' as a result of 'Donald Trump's dementia'

Rosie O'Donnell has urged her fans to stand up against Donald Trump, having warned the president "we're on to you."

The French have protests down pat, because they stick together. A general strike is far more effective than smaller groups taking isolated action.

Yes. That's key.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names. When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

‘Dangerous and un-American’: Politicians deride Trump administration over leaked messages on deploying Army to Portland Several Democrats in Minnesota and Oregon criticized the administration this weekend, responding to an exclusive report by the Minnesota Star Tribune.
