I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Although stories about the Jeffrey Epstein documents dominated the news cycle last week, the word ‘Epstein’ only appeared five times in the transcripts of the shows she covered on Fox News.

Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t “I will never send federal agents into your community to kill you or your loved ones” be the winning argument for voters
easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

This is as big a lie as the one about the 2020 election, probably even more dangerous because so many "normie" Republican officials glommed onto it to curry favor with Trump. Corporate media never exposed it, and an uneducated electorate remains confused.

As powerful a visual as one can imagine about how insincere “tough on crime” types are when they claim they put victims first.
They only see victims as useful tools for advancing their desire to engage in punitive social control.
