Breaking news: A Portland police officer threatens a ICE thug with arrest if he continues to try to drive through a crowd of protesters and police! Listen to what the thug says to him about not caring and then how there aren’t to many protesters so it won’t be messy! 🤬

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

And that's a profile in cowardice

Trump approves Alaska mining road, stake in Canadian firm behind project | Globalnews.ca U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said approval of Ambler Road will unlock access to critical minerals 'that we need to win the AI arms race against China.'

The Ambler Road cuts through untouched wilderness that Alaska's Native people depend on for salmon and caribou. This is their ancestral lands. They lived there long before any mining claim. Their consent isn’t a formality, it’s the frontline. #IndigenousRights #Alaska

Can you BE more tone-deaf???!!

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

When you hear about Big Tech companies lobbying the federal government to stifle AI regulation in the states, this is one reason why.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

Best Big City: Chicago Wins Award 9th Year in a Row Learn why Chicago was voted the Best Big City for the 9th consecutive year by exploring our vibrant culture, welcoming inclusion, and so much more.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW.

While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Trump would not be treating half the country (well, more than half, but half of all voters) this way were it not for the Electoral College.

It's an artifact of slavery and it has got to go.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

You can tell she knows exactly what legal liability she is under by the fact that she is reading a scripted answer and is not deviating from it. This is a witness who has been coached by counsel to avoid perjuring herself.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

🚨 The man below is responsible for the firings of government employees.

We have to stand behind OUR democratic leaders like @repsuhas.bsky.social .

Because this man was planning on the firings no matter what.

Now, thanks to people like him OUR healthcare is at stake. 😠

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Sen. WHITEHOUSE to Bondi: Responding with completely irrelevant far-right internet talking points is not helpful here. These are pretty simple questions.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy:The Head of Foreign Intelligence reported in detail on how the Russians are utilizing tankers of their “shadow fleet” – not only to finance the war, but also for sabotage and various destabilization attempts in Europe. Recent launches of drones from tankers are one such example.

President Trump has run this government like Congress, democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law doesn't matter.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi announced that she was going to release the Epstein files.

Because it was just a few months ago.
