Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

I’m seeing enough of this in my mentions today that I, a Black Jew, need to remind everyone that in the 1930s, European Jews were not considered white and that’s why the Nazis slaughtered them and part of why other countries including the United States refused refuge to many of them

Actions have consequences

And I believe that

Sooner or later

I prefer sooner right now

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein”

Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime”

Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This picture perfectly encapsulates this administrations willful ignorance and disdain for anything slightly resembling human decency.

It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.

He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

This is the energy I want from every Democrat.
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

I mean the main blowback they are facing from me is not going far enough.
The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”

But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

I had a great aunt we called Aunt Sherry whose real name was Rose. she had a brother everyone called Uncle Dutch, I have no idea what his birth name was. Their brother Aleck had two daughters, my Aunt Doody (real name Edra Lee) and Aunt Bird (again, no idea what her birth certificate says)
Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.
