Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

These CA tomato pickers make 86¢ per bucket. The worker runs back to try and make as many buckets as they can. Because of the hot weather they often only work 4 to 5 hours a day, so every bucket counts towards paying their bills. #WeFeedYou

Even criminals charged with a crime who are being held in detention are usually arraigned within 24 hours
But ICE kept 4 innocent children-US citizens, mind you-locked up for TWO WEEKS
And even EXTENDED their time custody by misleading lawyers trying to help them
Deplorable

One of the things that really upsets me about the current reality is that all things considered, we're doing really well.
Spouse and I are successful and our kids have a pretty good life. But instead of being able to enjoy that or build a foundation for our kids, we have to plan for crisis.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.
It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.
Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

MacArthur Park today wasn’t law enforcement. It was political theater.
No arrests. No crime ring. Just troops, agents and fear.
Kids at summer camps were rushed indoors as helicopters and soldiers swarmed.
The message? Intimidate immigrants. Children became collateral in the show.
