Turns out my authentic voice involves cussing. Alternately earnest and sarcastic.

“Impeding” is the belief that white* men can do what they want without any opposition, and any opposition, no matter how lawful, safe, nor interfering, is impeding their will.
Fucking wusses.

Gallego: Lutnick knew he did something wrong because he lied about it. So clearly, you did something wrong. You knew you were doing something wrong. You should not have been associating with this man — and yet you did.
And now we’re supposed to believe everything you say when you’ve already lied?

Good for Sen.,Lujan. No need to spend party money. Put it toward funding a tight race elsewhere.
lol. Luján doesn’t have a Senate opponent because the only Republican who filed got disqualified for not having enough signatures.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:
“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”
The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:
"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.
"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

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.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

Seems Wall St. is putting a lot of faith in the administration of a convicted criminal who fired the person who provided accurate numbers because it made his governance look bad.

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.
"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.
Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.
