Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.
Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Highly recommend. Memorable spontaneous conversation.
Important. Watch. @senangusking.bsky.social lets it fly. "My job is to raise the alarm, because Heather, I believe we are in one of the most dangerous places our country has been in since the founding because what is happening before our eyes is the collapse of the constitutional structure..."
So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)
