Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Correction: the food they're going to eat was most likely prepared and cooked and spat on by a brown person too.

No wonder Trump believes that Portland is a war zone. This looks just like the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan.

New conspiracies over Trump’s health swirl after CNN text interview The president famously does not use email and is not known to frequently use text messages

When the stories are about Biden's mental health, it's solid investigative reporting. When the stories are about Trump's mental health, it's conspiracy theories.

I would love to see "both sides" here.

There is no such thing as "so much" cheese. It's barely a sufficient amount.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

FBI snagged Sen. Ron Johnson's phone logs in their Jan. 6 probe, eyeing his push for bogus electors to Pence. Now he whines about "shocking" surveillance from the same crew he accuses of threatening democracy. #Jan6

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Bondi is like one of those poop-throwing monkeys, desperately hoping that some of the shit she tosses actually sticks to a Democrat.

It doesn't.

Tommy Tuberville on the 2020 census: "The Democrats were letting illegals come in for a different count. They obviously had a census going that was all rigged. The 2020 election basically was rigged."

(Believe it or not, Donald Trump was president in 2020.)

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Before going out to harass, arrest, demonize and harm innocent people because their skin is brown.

Performative Christianity at its worst.

Democrats are winning the shutdown Republicans, meanwhile, are bumbling and stumbling.

"To the extent Republicans have managed to settle on a single talking point, it’s that Dems want taxpayer $ to pay for healthcare for undocumented people β€” a lie so egregious even the mainstream media is balking at repeating it. It’s almost self-parodic messaging & polling suggests it’s not working"

All that obfuscation because Bondi cannot deny the existence of those photographs.

Which means that the answer is "yes".

Supreme Court Live Updates: Justices Seem Set to Rule Against Colorado’s Ban on Conversion Therapy

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

yes. there are so many reasons to criticize Lindsey Graham and so many effective ways of doing so. We don't need to do this.

If you watch an interview from five years ago it's obvious that the stupidity persists but also that there's been a dramatic decline.
