We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

The resolution to remove McIver from the House Homeland Security Committee failed. Five Republicans (Bacon, Flood, Joyce, Turner, Valadao) joined Democrats in rejecting it.

I missed the part where Democrats said they wanted to send US troops into Russia. And why is it necessary for him to always debate fictitious Democratic positions that he invents in his twisted brain rather than actual ones? Too tough to argue against the real ones?

'My Undesirable Friends' Isn't Just a Documentary. It's a Warning
Julia Loktev's look at Russia's suppression of free speech is a chilling look at how authoritarianism works. It already looks eerily familiar.

Neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainian People can end russia’s war, because neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainians invaded anyone.
To “continue the fight,” to continue to defend yourself, your families, your children is not a choice it’s a duty.
For pootihn & russia, this is a war of choice, for 🇺🇦 it isn’t.

A few months ago, there's a decent chance federal law enforcement would have viewed agents ripping down a sign because they didn't like its message as misconduct.
Now the government - and the White House - is tweeting its approval.

Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

So about that “hoax” we’ve all been talking about for years…. And now, some thought it was good to choose a denier to lead us into climate change on steroids. I can not even reconcile this kind of idiocy. This is the beginning of sadly many more lives who will be lost to willful denial of reality.
The loss of life caused by the Texas floods is heartbreaking
And yes, the Trump administration is partly to blame-but not because of its reckless cuts to the National Weather Service
Instead, for repeatedly mocking climate change science and downplaying the very real threat it poses to our safety

Let's remember that Kevin Hassett is infamous for publishing the most embarrassing economics book of all time--"Dow 36,000," which came out in November 2000, when the DJIA was at about 10.5 and was *just about to crash* in what became known as the "dot.bomb" bubble.
