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.

7 years after I started VGC, I’m incredibly proud of the editorial team. In particular, in the last 18 months, we visited the likes of Team Asobi, Capcom, Kojima Productions, and TPC, while interviewing Todd Howard, Hideki Kamiya, Sega, Square Enix, Konami, Sucker Punch, CD Projekt, and many more.
VGC recently travelled to Tokyo to speak to Game Freak's Shigeru Ohmori and Koei Tecmo about Pokémon’s big spin-off, Pokopia, and learned how it was directly inspired by Ruby and Sapphire.

Quite a few of us were warning people about Vinay Prasad before it was cool. He might have looked like a respectable physician driven by an EBM mindset, but he was a COVID anti-vaxxer fuelled by a contrarian streak.
The "respectable" ones may be the most dangerous in terms of public health.
