Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files?
Why uh…. Why…. Why so nervous?

After a couple of hours of failed spin, the GOP has now acknowledged it lost and needs either a new lawsuit or to try to go to SCOTUS. I predicted this an hour ago.
I can safely say, the new "legal action" will fail and Virginia voters will decide.

Dementia J. Trump actually thinks that Pam Bondi was "fantastic" in the hearing where she acted like an infantile "mean girl," while dodging every question about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
He also thinks that the Epstein files that he's in a million times "exonerated" him.🤣🤣🤡

“HORSEFEATHERS!” 🗣️ That’s how a federal judge just described Pete Hegseth’s pathetic attempt to strip Senator Mark Kelly of his military rank and pension.
The court ruled that the Trump regime "trampled" on the First Amendment. ⚖️🚫 Read the full takedown: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/coordinate...

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?
LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that
GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

Trump said ICE was going after the "worst of the worst".
You thought he was talking about undocumented immigrants?
Nope. He was explaining ICE's recruitment goals.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.
