Well, speaking from Portland Oregon, I can say for sure that they’re not trying to protect *us*

If the FBI and the Department of Justice are so focused on going after the president's enemies, are they sacrificing our ability to protect ourselves?

This is a great suggestion

“ impunity“ is my middle name!

Fire her now. it is really an overstatement to say that she is unqualified. Oh, and she is also obnoxiously insulting to our elected officials.

She’s a real live lawyer, so she knows that she can just plead the fifth to every question, since it does seem like they all incriminate her

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

They’re already shitting on our innocent citizens, so let them shit in the street.

Yep, now we are all 12

Wow, that seems like a particularly childish and obviously irresponsible non-answer.

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

this attack attack attack technique“ was a favorite of Roy Cohn, the inventor of Donald Trump.

Bondi refuses to answer questions about the Homan bribery scandal but deflects with personal attacks on Padilla

Quick answer to your trick question: she’s a member of Congress

Seat

See her now!

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Pam Bondi's shameless stonewalling of the Senate Judiciary Committee today is of course a total negation of Congressional oversight. "Oversight" is impossible if they won't let you see anything.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Oh we sure do question your integrity. You have earned that honor.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers.

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay: “It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

Strike now, general strike, the whole world is watching

A General Strike is literally the only thing that has EVER worked to over throw this type of takeover, literally anywhere in the world. When will we be ready? When it’s to late???
