Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

I might get a little obnoxious over women's sports for a while, and I don't apologize ๐Ÿคญ

Woman athletes deserve funding, equal attention and airtime.

We need to normalize sports being for EVERYONE. Destroy the old stereotype that sports are a cis het dude hobby/interest/job.

MI voter: I didn't like the speech because he didn't talk about making our lives better. Didn't talk about the economy at all. People's health insurance premiums are going up. What is he doing for that? What is he doing for our seniors?

We are this MI voter!

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officersโ€™ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as โ€˜violent perpetratorsโ€™

The Trump regime has relentlessly prosecuted protesters, government critics, & immigrants accusing them of physically attacking officers or interfering with their duties.

Many of those cases have recently been dismissed or ended in not guilty verdicts. The costs for defendants have been enormous.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Itโ€™s weird. The MAGAs are spoon fed daily outrages and have their physical health degraded by the constant cortisol pumping through their veins.

When thereโ€™s a real outrage- The Epstein abuse-

The outrage machineโ€™s unplugged and theyโ€™re cool as a cucumber.

Trump says move on.

When the people fear their government that's fascism. When the government fears the people that democracy. Let's get that back NOW.

Todayโ€™s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

We went from the greatest fighting force in the world to a buncha guys blowing up fishing boats and party balloons.

Iโ€™ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

i'm morbidly curious to see what happens if the SAVE Act passes and then millions of Americans naively try to order a passport the week before elections only to find out it can take over a month even during normal circumstances

Pamela Jo Bondi coldly ignoring the Epstein survivors as she memorizes her next irrelevant lie to protect one of the main perpetrators.

Rep. Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in the audience of Pam Bondi's House DOJ hearing to stand if they have still been unable to meet with the Department of Justice.

All of the survivors in the room stand.

Jayapal then asks Bondi to apologise to them. She refuses.

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ve ever come across anyone who sounded as guilty in a coverup conspiracy as Pamela Jo Bondi does right now.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactionsโ€ฆ and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What theyโ€™re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJโ€™s redactionsโ€”not the original FBI redactions. Theyโ€™re in blatant violation of the law.

To understand how horrible Pamela Jo Bondi is, remember she only has her current job as US Attorney General because she took a bribe from Donald Trump when she was Florida's Attorney General to drop an investigation into the obvious consumer fraud perpetrated by his scam called "Trump University."

Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Before you scream about the "injustice" and "disrespect" of others not speaking English, learn to speak one of the hundreds of beautiful Indigenous languages of these lands.

Everything we've seen so far about the Epstein files from Trump and his stooges in the GOP screams conscience of guilt and massive cover-up. You don't block Congress, block an elected Rep. taking office, constantly delay, flood the zone with distractions, or overly redact if you're innocent.

When I saw the Bad Bunny show I didn't freak out, I enjoyed it, reveled in the majesty of the performance, the rich subtext of history being showcased, and the sheer talent of everyone involved. I want to be in a world where everything isn't for *me* but instead invites me to learn and grow.

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

โ€œBut I didnโ€™t understand a word he said.โ€ Guess what, thatโ€™s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience
