"It is the end of liberty if the executive can paralyze Congress by threatening it with prosecution." NR's @andrewcmccarthy.bsky.social finds "impeachable" Trump's "tin-pot dictator-style" move to prosecute the 6 Democrats, and even more his drawing of the armed forces into his abuses of power.

At the end of every question, Pam Bondi reads from her little oppo binder to get one last dig in against every Democrat. She came prepared not to discuss the facts surrounding the Epsteinfiles but rather to deflect the attention onto Congressional Dems.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

The Trump Admin is still stonewalling on the Epstein Files.
They have shared survivors' identities while actively shielding the Epstein Class.
The survivors and the public deserve the WHOLE truth — not just what the DOJ wants to reveal.
Accountability demands it.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
