I mean there have been A LOT of crazy moments of Trump officials testifying before Congress over the years, but Attorney General Pam Bondi ranting about the stock market during a House Judiciary hearing - amidst questions about Epstein, ICE, and political prosecutions - has gotta make the Top 3.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

While the Washington Post was giving Pam Bondi a thumbs up for being "qualified" and "serious", Democracy Docket was calling her an "Election Denier."

@aoc.bsky.social has this exactly right.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The reason why companies in industries like AI and online gambling don’t want any state regulation is because they know the current Congress & President want no regulation of them. They claim having different sets of rules is burdensome, but what they really want is no rules.

Watching them all fall in line to brazenly lie to protect their new secret police/terror squads from accountability for shooting a scared mom in the face 3 times, is a reminder (in case we still needed one) that it’s no where near enough to just replace Trump. It’s the entire immoral & corrupt GOP.
Mike Johnson on Renee Good: "This woman was taunting ICE officers. She was impeding law enforcement. She was violating a number of laws. They were very patient ... what I saw was she hit the accelerator and hit the ICE officer and he reacted in a split second."

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Trump continues to make billions from foreign govts and oligarchs with new deals happening around the world every month from people who want a lot from the US government and are getting what they want. And Trump is just getting started obscenely profiting off the presidency.

There is a new story daily about a criminal who donated $1 million to a Trump PAC for a pardon or a new business deal with a foreign govt/entity & Trump where that foreigner receives a huge benefit from the US govt. Corruption daily and Republicans turn a blind eye to all of it.

In light of what happened to Renee Good, I thought it important to reiterate my grandmother's advice.
My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Perhaps, in all this darkness/oppression, the world could somehow find itself experiencing not an autocratic ascent but "a new birth of freedom;" and "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" but rise while autocrats stumble and fall. Imagine.

standard process goes like this: WSJ publishes scoop on Donny's "wonderful secret" letter to Epstein. other outlets quickly confirm.

but no such action here. failing to confirm @dailymail.co.uk's story (again, if it holds) is just PROFOUND malpractice
