Gotta give Bondi credit here. It’s clear she knows the DOJ Manual’s principles of federal prosecution inside-out and backwards, because she’s obviously trying to violate every single section and subsection of them.

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

This is hard to watch. SWAT has put some kind of a smoke device in the back window of the truck with the woman barricaded inside after the police chase in on Coldwater Canyon in Los Angeles. She's clearly in distress and opens the door but she's stuck between the vehicles. How can she get out?!

Bragging about being “close to a trade deal” with South Korea is a joke—we already have one: KORUS—a free trade agreement signed in 2007 & updated in 2018. Nearly all tariffs are already gone. PS— Bessett sounds like a terrible negotiator. “We’ll see if they actually follow through.” Clown show.
