A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

This Trump threat is now completely meaningless. "Don't do what I say and you'll lose re-election!" Yeah, well, that's going to happen anyway.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

This is Barb Kirkmeyer, a Republican running for governor of Colorado. She led a movement to try to literally secede from the state after Democrats passed modest gun safety laws after the Aurora theater massacre. Here she is with a vigilante murderer so everyone here knows the company she keeps.
