Liberty and Justice for All

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.

She's such a smug witch.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.

We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years.

Just some light reading for today... www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

The official pretrial services bond report on James Comey has been completed and posted in his criminal case docket

But those records are sealed

His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in Virginia

Those reports typically detail a defendant's background, crim. history, etc

Do all you can to hang on to your home: refi, borrow from relatives or friends, take on a second or third job, cut unnecessary costs, rent out a room, rent the whole house and live in something smaller/cheaper.

NOW: Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies at Senate

Opening minutes.. she defends the firings of dozens of agents and prosecutors

She's a disrespectful piece of work and sounds like she's been well coached on what to say.

She's unhinged.

This exchange is quite something

It begins with Attorney General Bondi alleging that grand jurors who indicted Comey were "liberal" (Grand jury identities are to be secret)

And ends with her mentioning the "great picture" showing her and Trump and others at dinner

ALERT: Under questioning, Attorney General Pam Bondi says she has had NO conversations about setting up a "compensation fund" for January 6th rioters

The Insurrection Act Explained The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

When can the president invoke the Insurrection Act? What does invoking it allow the military to do? Is it the same as declaring martial law? A Brennan Center explainer has the answers. bit.ly/3GsFBhL

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

BREAKING—New Trump White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay. (Read: possible mass- airport sickouts if TSA & air traffic controllers refuse to work without pay during shutdown)

It breaks my heart each time I see one.

I think they're banking on midterms not existing--these actions are a full blown attempt of a takeover.

The Insurrection Act and the War at Home Fear, force, and the line America has crossed.

Chicago isn’t a battlefield. But Trump is making it one.
Now he’s threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, to use the U.S. military against Americans. This isn’t about immigrants or crime. It’s about power. And once fear becomes law, it never stops where it starts.

The way some talk, or live, you'd think it wasn't an issue any longer. I was shocked to see two sets of new parents out with their newborns in a crowded place. No masking, no protection for the babies either. Mask up! Numbers spiked after summer.

Illinois Sues Trump—Just Like Oregon And California—Challenging National Guard Orders The administration is trying to send hundreds of members of the Texas National Guard to Chicago.

I live in California, if that were true about Portland, we'd be hearing about it. He's generating lies, fear, chaos, we need to resist...

You just don't have a clue, give it up already.

There are many effective crime-fighting strategies with bipartisan support. Sending National Guard troops into American cities isn't one of them.

“Continuous Vetting” of All Visa Holders Is Impossible, but the Threat Alone Chills Free Speech Government claims of AI-powered surveillance create an illusion of total oversight that encourages self-censorship without actually improving security.

The Trump administration is escalating its surveillance of tens of millions of *legal* immigrants, forcing them to refrain from expressing opinions that someone might deem “anti-American.” It’s a clear attack on free speech and the First Amendment. bit.ly/4823Brc

Yeah baby! #NationalGuard, #Portland

In lawsuit, American Federation of Govt Employees, which represents 100,000s of federal government employees, has asked a judge to order the US Education Dept to stop sending politically-laced employee “out-of-office” messages from furloughed agency workers
