The one question I wanted answered, which she evaded, the most important one is………

“Who gave the order to redact Trump’s name from all the Epstein files”?

If it was Trump, he is once again interfering in an investigation. If it was Bondi, she is abetting. Massive coverup.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov · 7d

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.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Trump is responsible for delaying the cesse fire in the Gaza War, the no response to Covid, stopping USAID, ignoring global warming, resulting in millions of deaths.

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Why is the Indonesian President, who‘s accused of War Crimes, asking DJT if he can meet with Eric and Don Jr?
bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

Antifa is going to pay about 10 million people for several hours to protest Trump’s regime. There’s got to be some receipts out there, right? Where do I sign up for my pay?

Sean Duffy says the No Kings protests this Saturday are “really frustrating” because they are all paid Antifa people.

Trump on Orban: "We love Viktor. You are fantastic, alright? I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters. He's a great leader. I endorsed him the last election he had and he won by 28 points. You're gonna do even better this time when you have another election."
