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.

Brett Meiselas: I’m against gerrymandering, but that doesn’t mean we unilaterally disarm. Governors like Newsom and Hochul are right to fight back. Democrats tried to ban partisan gerrymandering in the Freedom to Vote Act, which also included voter ID—but not one Republican voted for it.

Just a reminder that if Pam Bondi resigns, the next attorney general will *also* not release any list because the AG doesn’t hold the power, Trump does. And it’s clearly *him* who wants this to go away. Don’t delude yourself into thinking the buck stop with anyone other than Trump.

Fascinating how MAGA is making Bondi the fall gal for the Epstein files debacle, as if she isn’t operating at the express instruction of the man she’s protecting.

I met some of the children who had to leave the park today because of a military-style operation designed to strike fear in the heart of our city today.
We will not be afraid and we will not be divided.
We will stand TOGETHER.

Watch the officer try to straighten out the hand of the man in the wheelchair WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. Keep your fucking hands off these vulnerable Americans. Republicans can fuck all the way off trying to end Medicaid for people who need it TO LIVE #Medicaid
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This war looks like it should end up being called the “Bullshitzkrieg,” because at this point, it pretty much seems to have been performative on all sides, especially on Trump’s. We should be grateful for that, but … WTAF.

Of course, by lunchtime tomorrow we could find ourselves to be (and to have always been) at war with Eurasia or Eastasia (or maybe even Oceania!), and I’ll have to take this back. But I’m going with it for now.
