I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over.
The FAA administrator disagreed.
Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.

Green grenades used to contain Adamsite. Whilst technically banned, some countries still use it for crowd control. From the explosive vomiting I've seen it's a possibility. Nasty stuff.

Oh thank god. This case is important because it’s important — for free speech, for documenting ICE abuses, for spotlighting app stores’ craven behavior, and more.
But also, watching someone call these “free speech warriors” on their sheer rank hypocrisy will be a joy.
