Every lawyer knows the rules: candor, decorum, respect for the tribunal. Pam Bondi shredded all of them, shouting over members, spitting insults, dodging basic oversight. In any courtroom in America she’d be held in contempt before her first outburst.

We live in an era where corporate greed is squeezing working people and families like mine have to stretch every dollar farther and farther.
Meanwhile, the billionaire class just gets richer and richer.
We’ve gotta fix this.

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

U.S. Farm Bankruptcies increased 46% in 2025.
This is UNACCEPTABLE.
Less than 2% of Americans feed the rest of us. We need to make sure our farmers are WHOLE and pass the reforms they've been calling out for. Right to repair. Reforming checkoff programs. Breaking up seed and fertilizer monopolies.

Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.
