A Singular Monkey

This has vibes of Trump thinking you need an ID to buy groceries

sigh

The last time AG Bondi testified, at Sen Judiciary, she brought prepared attacks for each Dem Senator, which she shouted at them in response to or over their questions,

There is no world in which such agreement is legal. Pretty much anyone in the IRS who was involved with it when they first did it either resigned, or was fired for refusing to cooperate.

According to The New York Times: "U.S. employers added just 181,000 jobs last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday, 69 percent fewer than its initial estimate of 584,000."

In other words, more than 2 out of 3 jobs we thought Trump created in 2025 were completely imaginary.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

ICE Has Taken More Kids Than Liam Ramos From Minnesota Schools Liam Ramos, 5, isn’t the only child in detention. Teachers and parents describe kids being hunted by federal agents.

Really crazy to hear Lyons keep saying ICE agents in MN are simply carrying out targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operations.

ICE is literally circling elementary schools in this Minneapolis suburb every day, looking for brown and Black children to nab. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

This wasn't some gee we're not really convinced thing. They knew exactly what they were refusing to be part of.

Washington Post endorsement of Pam Bondi for Attorney General: "Florida's former attorney general is qualified; lawyers who have worked with her report that she is serious."

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

By Tara Copp and Alex Horton (Washington Post) -- The Trump administration has withdrawn all federalized National Guard troops from U.S. cities, after its repeated attempts to surge forces into Democrat-run states encountered judicial roadblocks. The pullout was quietly finalized late last month, occurring with no public acknowledgment from the White House or the Pentagon. It was a remarkable turnabout after President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had insisted the mobilizations were necessary to combat what they claimed was unchecked violence and to support enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. The deployments — including more than 5,000 troops to Los Angeles, approximately 500 into Chicago and 200 to Portland, Oregon — were ordered despite the vehement opposition from state and local leaders who labeled the administration's actions an unlawful abuse of presidential authority. All of those service members were sent home by the end of January, according to U.S. Northern Command.

All federalized National Guard troops have been withdrawn from LA, Chicago, and Portland per WaPo.

You might ask why Bondi is doing this, and the answer is that she really wants to be the SNL cold open.

HANK JOHNSON: It's been reported that there 1,000 personnel assigned to the task of scrubbing Trump's name from the Epstein files. Is that accurate?

BONDI: I believe his name has appeared countless times in the documents


HJ: Were the reports accurate?

BONDI: I cannot give you an exact number

Usual rule of thumb is that you don’t need to attribute evil when some actions can be explained by stupidity.

Here it’s the other way around.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

CBP Signs Clearview AI Deal to Use Face Recognition for ‘Tactical Targeting’ US Border Patrol intelligence units will gain access to a face recognition tool built on billions of images scraped from the internet.

NEW: CBP signs a new deal with Clearview AI to access its scraped image database for "tactical targeting," including efforts to “disrupt, degrade, and dismantle” networks of people labeled security threats.

Swalwell plays Bondi a clip of Kash Patel *lying under oath* about how many times Trump's name appears in the Epstein files

Under Trump, ICE’s Work Force Grew as Other Immigration Agencies Shrank With more ICE agents and fewer judges and asylum officers, the balance of the federal immigration apparatus has shifted.

As ICE hired droves of new agents last year, the immigration system lost staffers who process asylum claims and preside over court hearings, according to a New York Times analysis of government work force data.

Trump claimed the power to unleash a tariff war by declaring a “national emergency.” This is clearly a false predicate.

The tariff power lies with Congress per the Constitution. Trump’s invocation of an “emergency” in order to punish countries whose leaders don’t grovel is utterly ridiculous.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

It’s just so telling how Senate Democrats are here negotiating with the GOP while the GOP is trying to get them thrown in prison. The Dems aren’t fighting in the same war the rest of us have been witnessing.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES.

We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker.

Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

One day, you are going to get sick, and the research that would have helped you was cancelled in the last year.

Flagging: Trump directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with Kurt Olsen, who we just learned helped launched the FBI raid on Fulton County.

Olsen is a 2020 election denier who tried to overturn the results of the election. tinyurl.com/3tyrd7xm

Screenshot from the STAT News article: In the “refusal-to-file” letter, Prasad wrote that the FDA does not consider the study in the application to be “adequate and well-controlled” — the standard for FDA approval under the law — because “your control arm does not reflect the best-available standard of care in the United States at the time of the study.” He added: “I note that this determination is consistent with FDA’s advice given to you prior to your study.” In its press release, Moderna acknowledged that the FDA told the company the agency would prefer it use a different vaccine — one with a higher dose of influenza antigen and is targeted at older people, for whom the higher dose vaccines are preferentially recommended and more effective. But the company reproduced language from the FDA showing the agency had prefaced this request with: “while we agree it would be acceptable to use a licensed standard dose influenza vaccine as the comparator in your Phase 3 study.”

It will be interesting to see if any other pharma or biotech companies will speak up. A refusal to file after years of discussions is bad news for everyone…
