Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

So many layers of corruption.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Putin and the rest of the world continuing to laugh at these bumbling fools.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

Tom Cotton on Witkoff reportedly using a Kremlin interpreter during his meetings with Putin: "Steve Witkoff is a very skilled and capable negotiator. He has the president's total trust and he's 100% loyal to the president. He's doing what the president has asked."

How not surprising that a lobbyist for Qatar, who took a bribe from Trump to shut down an investigation of Trump University for consumer fraud, found that it was OK for Qatar to bribe Trump.

Big story of the week? --WH wanting to suspend habeas corpus --Illegal gestapo like round-ups nationwide --Arresting and intimidating public officials --Economic chaos, lies and weakening economy --Turning the corruption up to 11 --Destroying US healthcare protections --Gutting American science

HUMILIATED ON LIVE TV: In a desperate smear, Marjorie Taylor Greene cropped a photo to make it look like a committee witness flipped her off - but he really held up TWO fingers. Rep. Rep. Melanie Stansbury brought receipts and it was epic. Watch Kimmel rip MTG to shreds:

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

Since leaving Twitter, I had forgotten Jonathan Turley existed. Apparently he is still obsessed with me. It is amazing people still pay him to teach them law. He is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

This is the part too many don't get, this has been a tactic and strategy for over 4 decades. They have targeted this moment in our nation's history and if they have their way, the US will never again be the nation we have known. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This administration is becoming the tool of the Persian Gulf autocracies...they do not give without expecting in return...

🧵 Let me clarify: having an American pope is toxic, not because he's left or right, but because in our divisive American climate: that’s the only question people are asking. The Vatican: a distinctly Italian territory, with a rich 2,000 year history has no idea how Americanism can swallow it whole.

Well there it is. To do right by the shareholders of a healthcare company, it must pursue “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics.” If you didn’t know private insurance was the enemy, they sure did.

Trump has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and the Vatican

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.

We are living in the dumbest timeline

Trump Offers Undocumented Immigrants $1,000 To Leave Country theonion.com/trump-o...

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"

Chicago is on to something.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

👏 👏

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Donald J. Trump—ex-reality show host turned "Birdbrain of Alcatraz"—pledging to reopen the prison not for justice, but for ratings. Imprisoned by his own delusions, he drafts executive orders in birdseed. Welcome to the New Alcatraz: where fallacies get life without parole, no chance of sanity.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like. #BlameTrump

Louder for the voters in the back!

the president’s policies will carpet bomb the economy and ruin millions of lives but don’t worry, he and his failchildren will come away from everything as rich as ever

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

RFK Jr. is dangerous.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Truly wild how little he seems to understand about this.
