We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.
We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.
Personally I think it’s bad for our country that the President is insane and screams it was rigged every time his side loses an election.
Did JetBlue admit to surveillance pricing?

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS: At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody this year. This is state-sanctioned violence, not 'immigration enforcement.' We need to defund & abolish ICE NOW. Our immigrant siblings deserve dignity, safety & freedom. Stand up and demand justice.

SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
His incompetence and yes, unwarranted arrogance on display for the whole world to see. He's his own worst enemy. Diplomacy is dead if you keep posting threats before and during negotiations. And not one of his minion is willing to stop him. 🙄
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
