Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange: Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?” Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.” Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.” Below is a C-SPAN screenshot showing Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) speaking during a Justice Department oversight hearing. A lower third graphic shows a countdown to a government shutdown.

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Flight delays spread amid controller staffing issues as shutdown drags on Staffing-related delays were starting to show up at airports in Nashville and Chicago on Tuesday evening, with more expected.

Flight delays started to climb Tuesday evening across the United States amid air traffic controller staffing challenges, as people responsible for guiding planes through the skies approach nearly a week of working without a paycheck thanks to Trump’s government shutdown.

What they’re not telling you.

Air traffic controllers are having sick outs.

Burbank airport was one of 2 airports that completely shut down yesterday because the air traffic controllers called in sick.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

Religious leaders & faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who would Jesus deport?’

Trump regime ICE forces have targeted them as they pray, shooting them in the head with pepper balls then laughing.

This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree. Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Eric Trump accuses Jack Smith of "planting classified documents at Mar-a-Lago"

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

Stephen Miller is the Poster Boy for the Rabid MAGA Movement The more voters see of him, the more repulsed they’ll be

The Contrarian: "No other president would permit an underling to flaunt his racist rhetoric, display blatant animus toward a cross-section of Americans, and peddle his xenophobic, violent schemes."

Be sure to listen for George and Laura Bush’s cries for our democracy.

Wow:

Matt Gaetz says politicians at an AIPAC reception had to wear QR codes around their necks and go around and introduce themselves to potential donors. AIPAC members would scan the QR code to donate if they liked them.

If true, AIPAC is literally buying US politicians like groceries at a store.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.
