Every day brings another revelation about Bondi's corruption. She needs to be removed from her position. She likely needs to be indicted as well.
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"

"I believe you just lied under oath. "
Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended
"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

Rep. Magaziner: "A family of US citizens who were out to get groceries…Your agents sprayed pepper spray out of their vehicle and into the driver's side window…Is it proper procedure to aim pepper spray into the window of a moving vehicle?"

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

This is disastrous and evil. Spread the word. Call your members of Congress, even if you don't live in these states.
The Trump administration is planning to terminate $600M of CDC grants to CA, CO, MN, and IL. We're publishing the full list.

Read them all. And then do everything you can to end this horror. Defund ICE. Enact real immigration reform.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

This is the most incredible #SuperBowl halftime show that I have ever seen. Bad Bunny’s celebration of Latin American culture is just the statement of defiance against the Trump administration and xenophobia that this country needed. Thank you.

Just another Trump scam.
More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.
