NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files.
It's not surprising that he lied about it.
It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out.
And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.

Every single person incriminated in the Epstein files needs to be prosecuted, immediately.

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:
"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.
"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."

Thinking of Surya Bonaly this week while watching the backflip return to Olympic ice. She was the first to land it on one blade in Olympic competition in Nagano in 1998. I will never forget how I jumped up and screamed seeing her do it live.

Tuesday was the ICE oversight hearing. Today was Pam Bondi’s. I watched them both for you. The bottom line: There are (mostly Democratic) members of Congress who understand how important the moment is & they are standing up and showing courage. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.
They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.
Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

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.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

This Read is the Truth. Trump like many Republicans in Congress are Racists. It is telling that out of 50 Republican Senators only one is Black. They are the Party that Lost the Civil War and their right to own Black Slaves. Thank God America moved on, however Republicans never did. 😡😡👏👍🇺🇸😎

At this point, it feels like Trump could literally be caught sexually assaulting a minor and his amoral supporters wouldn’t give a damn.
This depravity needs to be eradicated. They are all accomplices.
