Bondi was confirmed by a vote of 54 to 46, and will now take the reins at the Justice Department at a moment when it is facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department.

Fetterman is NOT on our team. As Elmo and his gang of Thieves rape our federal government.
I don't know how this is going to end but it's not going to end well. This affects every single one of us.
Fetterman voted for her. Incredibly disappointing that all we have at this point is, “well, at least he isn’t as much of a Republican enabler as Dr. Oz would have been.”
“Facing questions”. I assume you’re referring to Trump’s bad-faith and unhinged accusations?
You know this kind of shit isn’t going to keep the new administration from cutting your funding to zero. At least have some dignity.
She took a $25,000 pay from Trump in 2013 right after she decided to not prosecute him.. how sway. Look at her now. When he is finished with her, he'll send her packing.
Utter madness that this voting with majority continues whilst tRump and mUsk just go busting the rule book left right and centre. It has to be 1 way or the other, not both...
I wonder if Republicans will continue to hold hearings on the weaponization of government while Bondi goes after Trump's political enemies? What do you think?
Why do you continue to confirm people who openly reject facts (January 6)so they can weaponize the judicial system and remove facts about crimes that actually took place.
There isn't an America to come save the day this time. The world is fucked. Europe is falling into fascism too. The peace and stability the world enjoyed because of the sacrifices of world war 1 and 2 are now gone. Hitler won the long game, these people will praise him and look up to him.
The risk of political influence makes it sound like they're not going to use that entire department to assert political influence when that is what they are going to do.
2027 maybe their c& b a change but that's alot of time 2 do a lot of damage that will take decades 2 reverse & fix because the next president of it is a Democrat won't have the balls 2 just fix stuff & unfortunately this last elections shown American population as a whole r just fucking ass clowns.
How do all these people keep getting confirmed? Everyone is talking about the democrats not doing anything but why aren’t the republicans in congress stopping this madness either? They are supposed to be the party of law and order after all..
Now that 47 and his acolytes are openly using the Guantanamo Bay detention camp to house ‘criminals’, who do you think the first high-profile person to be disappeared will be?
Will it be an:
Activist Leader
High Profile Journalist
Political Rival
Whistleblower
Influential Business Person

JFC NPR. "questions about the risk of political influence"?Martin has already co-opted the DOJ to protect Musk and his pubescent minions. It's a fait accompli.
Please speak truthfully and clearly. None of this semantic dancing around the edges BS.
There are no questions “about the risk of potential influence.”Bondi has been installed to wield Trump’s influence and everybody knows it. So why pussy-foot around it? The fix is in.
"...facing questions about the risk of political influence at the department."
DOJ latest in series of agencies turned over to the political whims of the POTUS. Congress is not acting because it DOES NOT HAVE THE POLITICAL SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE, or they would just pass laws to restructure.
First thing a wannabe dictator needs is to subordinate to his will law enforcement agencies. It is a key to controlling the country.
This follows example of Xi and Putin.
Hey @npr.org ! Let’s re-write that headline, shall we? “Cult member Bondi, an election denier, confirmed by a Senate majority that is scared sh*tless to stand up to #ConvictedFelonTrump and President #Ketamine Elmo.” Be brave, damn it.
That's 54 individuals who have been paid off by Elon. Fetterman included. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't just give every Republican and a few select Democrats like Schumer and Fetterman a million bucks a pop to lie back and let it happen.
...In the confirmation hearing this farmer senator would say with circumspection. "I have had a conversation with the turd and it has vowed to shove itself out from the stables. I am reassured that it will be consulting me at every stage of the shoving"

Trying to remember if it was a past CEO behind that or not.
Someone please, poison his tea.

Yet she is a cheap date.
Trump bought her off for a measly $25k to look the other way on Trump University scam.

Like, of course she did.
Of course she is...
Because of course there's no way this gets better...
Now he's a fascist sympathizer
