This was interesting from Swalwell, normally a very combative interviewer of Trump admin officials. I think it was an attempt to get her off her prepared talking points, and it worked.
Swalwell details death threats he and his wife and children have gotten and points out that the DOJ has refused to prosecute some of them

When you know what you are doing is so completely beyond the scope of treason, all you can do is testify that the administration is being victimized by the truth

“So the president enjoys snuff films? You should be talking about the stock market being at $50,000. Have you thanked him for your $1.99-a-gallon gas? Why don’t you apologize to him? You have TDS! I know you are, but what am I?” — Pam Blondi

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Gallup and its chair, Jim Clifton, have long postured as non-partisan, but this move is a distinctly partisan in this environment.
Like so many other institutions, Gallup is destroying brand integrity in the service of fascism.

This is how CBS Evening News depicted data showing that less than 14% of ICE arrests involved those accused or convicted of violent crimes, and less than 2% had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

With the threat of additional tariffs looming over foreign countries and the 2026 midterms, House GOP leaders tried to adopt legislation Tuesday night that would prevent any lawmaker from forcing a vote on President Donald Trump’s tariffs until August.
That effort failed, however, 214-217

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota.
Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out.
"Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city."

So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
