Democrats are going to keep trying to get her to testify over and over to highlight the cover-up until she becomes such a liability to Trump that he fires her. By then, she will have made it impossible for Republicans to hide from the association in the upcoming midterm elections.
I tend to agree with House Dems here.
Bondi’s performance was historically, epically, virally bad.
She threw a big log onto America’s angry fire today.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:
“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”
The ad aged. The internet remembers.

They're seizing ballots.
Raiding homes without warrants.
Gunning down protestors in the streets.
And now, arresting journalists.
They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
