If the next Democratic administration's DOJ went after Republicans the way this one goes after Democrats, Pam Bondi would be charged with obstructing Congress for today.

My email inbox is testament to how many PR agents are having AI summarize my podcast, so they can write pitch letters that are... I guess... supposed to sound like they came from someone who definitely listened.

So, is JD Vance doing something about those Italian military satellites while he's in Italy, or what?

I now am left genuinely wondering who would come out looking worse in a scenario in which a Democratic Member of Congress, rather than posing a question to Pam Bondi, just says, "I have no questions for you. Go fuck yourself, dumbass."

Pam Bondi, in a little paper party hat and a satin sash reading "Birthday Girl" sitting in front of a birthday cake with "Happy Birthday, Pam" written on top in front of a banner that says "It Is Pam Bondi's Birthday Today:" I'm shocked that you continue to talk about birthdays
Rep. Balint: "Has the DOJ talked to Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein?"

Bondi: "I'm shocked that you want to continue to talk about Epstein."

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Has a sitting president's approval rating gone so low that it's broken the utility of the metric itself?

So the US is going to bomb Mexico during the Olympics?
The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."

The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

Good opportunity for a corrupt, enterprising Republican House member to threaten to resign unless Trump pays him half a billion or so.

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.

Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.

The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow
Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.
