and she knows it, thus, as Tom Joseph tweets, the fact that she was “even more nuts today” than in her Senate appearance. “Her role in the cover-up matches the horrors committed by Epstein Maxwell and Trump. She’s part of the whole thing now.”

She actually used the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” and belted out fishwife abuse at the Democrats. Oh, and she issued hysterical hyperbole about Trump’s greatness.

Disbarment proceedings need to start being prepared now in response to Bondi’s obstruction of justice. As well as criminal prosecution. Letting Bill Barr off the hook was a big mistake by Democrats, part and parcel of their disastrous “look forward, not back” complicity.

How the Democrats managed to lose to Trump and his clique is an indictment of the way that the party has malfunctioned. House Dems today did, however, demonstrate a way forward.

“So we ask you politely but firmly, madam attorney general please do not waste one second of our precious time by evading questions, by changing the subject, or engaging in personal attacks against members of Congress. We saw your performance in the Senate, and we’re not going to accept that this isn’t a game.”

the government tries to indict elected officials for upholding the law.

After the Department of Justice’s latest failed indictments today, each and every Democrat must recognize the need to put the party on war footing to protect America against the GOP and Trump–or they need to leave office, or be voted out.

So polling shows that 3/4 of Democrats want ICE abolished, and the party’s leaders are prepared to neuter their bargaining demands about an organization that targets American citizens and communities?

Do they not recall that Kamala Harris could not even get Democrats to come out and vote for her–despite the threat posed by Trump?

Contrary to what Schumer, Plouffe and all the other Establishment hacks believe, it is not Republicans, but Democratic voters who are the key to Democratic victories.

How could we have known that Trump would implement the toxic Project 2025 agenda? they whimper.

In The New Republic, Parker Molloy demonstrates exactly how they should have known. Media turned a blind eye to the mountainous evidence that Trump and Project 2025 were joined at the hip, deciding instead to legitimize Trump’s ludicrous denials.

“When Trump lied about his involvement with Project 2025, that lie was treated as a fact that needed to be carefully weighed.” This was after Trump’s full-blown embrace of the Heritage Foundation and Project 205 in 2022. “He called it ‘our movement.’ He said Heritage would provide the details. He flew on a private plane with the guy running the operation and gave a speech praising the whole endeavor. . .

“The video of this speech was available online. . .Journalists could watch it anytime they wanted. When Trump later claimed he knew ‘nothing’ about Project 2025 and had ‘no idea’ who was behind it, there was readily available footage of him describing the project as the blueprint for ‘exactly what our movement will do.'”

Instead, the corporate “news” media treated Trump’s denials as if they were credible.

The corporate consultants who continue to control the Democrats’ messaging–even after they engineered the loses of 2024–don’t think that the devastation wrought by the climate crisis is worthy of being addressed by the party–even as the American public watches the country flood and burn.

Biden and his administration completely failed to explain to the American public what were the benefits, economic as well as to public health of his addressing the climate crisis. The public was just supposed to understand, while fossil fueled Republicans continued their high-decibel insistence that the climate crisis is a hoax. (They have now apparently adopted Dear Leader Trump’s belief that most of reality is a hoax.)

Now, evil, greed-sickened fanatics like Russell Vought have succeeded in succeeding in overturning everything Biden had attempted to do. And Democrats continue largely to stay silent.

In The New York Times, Lisa Friedman and Maxine Joselow describe Vought and his Republican acomplices’ relentless attempts to deny America’s children a future.

“Starmerism” is correctly diagnosed by Mehdi Hassan as “a political project built on deception, created by people guided only by an insatiable desire for power and a belief in their own invulnerability. . .

“Starmerism was never about winning elections. It was about destroying the Labour left – and with it, any hope of a socialist government running one of the world’s largest economies. But the tactics required for the success of such a project – stealth, deception, ruthlessness – are now helping to bring about its collapse.”

This is what Pres. Trump and the Republicans are doing to you, America:

This is how they are destroying the lives of working people;

This is how they are making you sick by rolling back environmental regulations;

This is how they are making you poor by deregulatign finance;

This is how they are demanding you sacrifice your childrens’ future to satisfy their insatiable greed;

This is how they are gaslighting you in order to get away with the havoc they’re inflicting.

allowed David Hogg to challenge, he writes in a new fun-raising mailer for his Leaders We Deserve, “”a political ecosystem that too often rewards consultants who make millions while campaigns lose the most consequential elections of our lifetime.”
