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.

1/ I made a comment the other night while watching @jbf1755.bsky.social Freeman at Night (A Few Thoughts For Those Who Can’t Sleep). She mentioned the importance of ID. I took a screenshot of my comment with a reply received. I fear folks really aren’t comprehending the severity of this issue.

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Raskin to Bondi:

"You're running a massive Epstein coverup right out of the Department of Justice... You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference and jaded cruelty to more than 1000 victims".

As she aged, time took on a different personality. First, it had been playful, winking in and out of naps and toys. Then it was intense, a push toward an unknown goal. Mid-age years were a slowing time, more breathing less rushing. And now, age was claiming her time. Dark, velvety, welcome. #vss365

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

Pamela Jo Bondi has seen photos and videos of pedophilia so disturbing that she knew she could never make them public if she wanted to protect the perpetrators. And that was the choice she coldly made.

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.

Per @pabloreports.bsky.social: Bondi has a “burn book” organized by the names of Democratic lawmakers so she can attack them when they ask her questions.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.

Trump's poll numbers are in the tank, and I would guess that despite Gallup's denial, someone at the White House made a call.

"Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years"

Wait one damn minute, I need to speak on this.

@kamlager-dove.house.gov read AG Pam Bondi the riot act over the DOJ scrubbing data on right wing extremists from the website.

Bondi’s response: “Her district includes Culver City and she’s not talking about… stopping crime in her district.”

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
