It’s very telling about Musk’s lameness that when he bought Twitter we were like “i dunno, bring back Vine?” and he was like “tell you what. I am going to make a dork robot that i take back into the shop whenever it doesn’t chime back Nazi propaganda”

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.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

To be clear, I counted HCSO deputies, State Patrol troopers, and DNR Conservation Officers among all the police present. MnDOT plow trucks blocked roads entering the area around Whipple, which obstructed the way for at least one ambulance. This is on Sheriff Dawanna Witt and @governorwalz.mn.gov.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"
