Instead of going through the time and tedium of subpoenas, hearings, and due process, Congress should just do as the Pentagon does: acting on a vague hunch without any evidence, declare that Pam Bondi is a "narco-terrorist" and bust some doors down.

Trump and his vile ilk are all about the cruelty. Whether it’s ICE raids, taking away SNAP benefits or denying folks affordable healthcare, Republicans are not working for the American people, they’re working against them. Don’t be gaslit, the Republican Party only cares about themselves.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

A Utah judge Friday refused to halt her landmark ruling that struck down the GOP-led legislature’s gerrymander. The decision means the court-ordered, fairer map — which gives Democratic and independent voters a meaningful chance at representation — remains on track for the 2026 elections.

Thank you Ketanji Brown Jackson! With the way Trump is fighting the court order to fund SNAP, IMO he stole the previously allocated funds, then violated the Constitution to use them as he pleased. If this is the only way to get an audit, so be it.
This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀
