I agree with @whstancil.bsky.social. Members of Congress should be demanding Bondi and Bove resign or be fired. They should be calling for investigations. They should be calling for subpoenas. They should be holding all Justice nominees. And they should be doing it loudly, publicly and now.

I'm kind of haunted by something someone from a college access/success foundation told me, that over their ~25 year history the biggest impact on their students' economic success was the state of the economy when they graduated, not what they did or didn't do in school.
