Maybe give all the victims about five minutes alone in a room with Bondi.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Find me one government agency that hasn’t been rendered dangerously incompetent. Republicans seem to live at the bottom of the barrel.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

We desperately need more representation like this. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is a damn treasure.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

Hassan: "What is happening here is unacceptable to the people in my state of New Hampshire and to people from every corner, and in fact people around the globe. I just got back from the country of Greenland. Their children are scared of the United States of America."

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Hegseth to American troops in Qatar: "We're restoring the warrior ethos. No more political correctness, gender pronouns, DEI, CRT, or climate change. We're in the business of warfighting."

He is a union apprentice and raising three special needs kids, two of them from his wife's previous relationships so yes he is certainly in the running.

Leavitt describes Abrego Garcia as "hiding in Maryland" and says, "based on the sensationalism of many of the people in this room, you would think we deported a candidate for father of the year"

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Why are blue states paying taxes to a fascist federal government? Why is our money still supporting red states that pervert democracy? Let the red states take full ownership of their policies instead of relying on blue states to support them. Don’t they have bootstraps they can pull up?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Replying to @schumer.senate.gov

Handing these criminals a blank check is a betrayal. They have breached our data, ransacked our services, fired our people, insulted and dehumanized us, committed crimes against immigrants and citizens. Backing down will be the end of the Democrats. We see you fully and will not blindly support.

Over the last three years, the head of a small charter school network that serves fewer than 1,000 students has taken home up to $870,000 annually, a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in Texas. By @emsimani.bsky.social and Lexi Churchill

After seeing Bezos continuing his kiss the ring campaign, no more Amazon and no more WaPo. No more spending money at corporations who actively work to minimize my family and friends. Just for the record, billionaires are an abomination that shouldn’t exist. #boycott

So Tom cruise, Brad Pitt and Tom Brady all put out hype videos calling the country to come together and be nice. Two of them are estranged from their kids and one is a douche who screwed over his wife and kids. Maybe we should all stop listening to rich white dudes and their mansplaining bullsh!t.

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute." Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute." Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."

It’s interesting that women are constantly called “emotional” by maga-males yet they are the ones who go straight to anger and violence when any of their batshit views are challenged by facts. Greatest gaslighting ever.

You are up to date.
