Did The Atlantic really write a story entitled "What Happened to Pam Bondi?" Nothing happened! She's always been willing to do anything for power. She fired the only prosecutors looking into foreclosure fraud on behalf of a campaign donor. She was an Amazon lobbyist!

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

ELLISON: We're hoping we can gain cooperation perhaps in the Pretti matter, but we've been advised that the feds aren't investigating the Good matter and we haven't received any access to the evidence

PETERS: So in these two cases, you're being stonewalled?

ELLISON: That's a yes

Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:

-21 million Americans w/out access to citizenship papers
-69 mil married women who took partner’s name
-21 mil w/out valid drivers license

The Trump admin claims it's ending the aggressive immigration crackdown in Minnesota. It remains to be seen whether the crackdown will actually end.

We’ll continue reporting on the streets to see how this plays out in real life. But this is significant.
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

Seeing a lot of reaction along the lines of, wasn’t there already a “drawdown” that didn’t happen?

Kind of. The Trump admin previously said it was withdrawing 700 agents. That left somewhere between 2000 and 2300 on the streets — so of course we still saw tons of activity.

Canada’s new ambassador to the U.S., Mark Wiseman, arrives in Washington this weekend.

This used to be a great job but now, with the Canada-hating, Feeble Felon in charge, it's got to feel like a person of color walking into a Klan meeting.

Why I can't be a Democratic congressperson, part infinity:

I would be asking Pam Bondi to check her notes and tell the committee on what date she read the file on Donald Trump "measuring" the tightness of children's genitals with his fingers.

“Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza, and you deliver every time,” Raskin said. “You replace real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges. Nothing in American history comes close to this complete corruption of the justice function and contamination of federal law enforcement.”
