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.

I know it's cringe to be like "we are going to win" but when you have career DOJ prosecutors flipping sides and being like "I quit two weeks ago and I'm ready to burn this bitch to the ground" I don't know what else to say

world's least normal man can't just eat chicken wings at a super bowl party while on an all meat diet
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

The feds killed Renee Good and then killed the investigation into her death. They sent a message to Renee Good’s family that her death meant nothing to them. And a message to ICE agents that they are free to shoot first because no questions will be asked later. 1/2

Columbo is America's Doctor Who. He's only attached to a militaristic organisation like the LAPD because he's been exiled to Earth.
On one hand, Columbo is a police lieutenant, which is bad. On the other hand, Columbo makes more sense if you view him not as a cop but as some sort of supernatural entity, like a fey

The culprit revealed.
"The two scripts I did for the Jodie era, Chris had heavy influence on those," McTighe says. "Chris wrote the last third of Kerblam" and describes Praxeus as very much a 50-50 story created together. Lucky Day was the first one to feel fully his.

i really like fracbats. jiménez and morey are doing gorgeous, crazy-detailed landscapes, and even though this looks little like hawkeye, its fraction’s closest return to form in a decade. one of those things where my only doubt is whether it’ll lose itself with the fill-ins

when hinder sings “you make it hard to be faithful / with the lips of an angel” is that “you make it… with the lips of an angel” (ex is the lips) or “faithful with the lips of an angel” (current partner is the lips)?

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.
