I’m also thinking about the time Bill Clinton was impeached for - no, really, you won’t possibly believe what Bill Clinton was impeached for given <gestures at everything happening fifty times a day now>
For no particular reason I'm thinking about the time Bill Clinton admitted he smoked pot once in college and it was a month-long administration paralyzing scandal

Bondi Spying On Congressional Epstein Searches Should Be A Major Scandal
Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Among the more notable exchanges was when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were in the audience to stand up and indicate whether Bondi's DOJ had ever contacted them about their experiences. None of them had heard from the Justice Department. Bondi wouldn't even look at the victims as she frantically flipped through her prepared notes.

Under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime.
Dear ICE - There is no statute of limitations for murder. Law enforcement, including ICE, does not have absolute immunity. Presidencies end. Accountability does not.

God will not be mocked. Seattle wins and Trump's friend's team loses (teehee!) The Bad Bunny halftime show was iconic, and the only English spoken was by Lady Gaga. As Ice Cube used to say in the before times, today was a good day.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. I’m gonna listen to Bawitdaba Da Bang Da Bang Diggy Diggy Diggy instead.”
Two days after Trump posts a racist video, he now attacks Bad Bunny: "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying."
He adds: "There is nothing inspirational about this mess."
FYI: The billboard behind Bad Bunny read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

Pete Hegseth complained that the Pentagon sent officers to Harvard to study strategy and leadership — and they came back “too Harvard,” with “globalist, radical ideologies.”
In other words:
The military sent people to learn diplomacy, history, and international law.

The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.

IMO the NFL knows exactly what they did choosing Bad Bunny & Green Day, the Super Bowl as a wink-wink 🖕🖕 to Trumpism & those that swore they’d leave over anthem kneeling—but didn’t. NFL cares most about growth, which means not aligning w/ a local cult that is widely reviled & increasingly unpopular.
