A while back, I explained why Pam Bondi had managed to avoid disciplinary scrutiny. Now that she’s been terminated, the landscape has changed. The excuses are gone. The protections are gone. And there’s nothing left standing between her conduct and a full investigation.

Well, anyone left in DOJ who wants to talk, I’m on Signal at crg.32

Seriously, reach out. Would love to know what’s actually happening inside today. And at U.S. Attorney’s Offices.

The legal question in the birthright citizenship case is jarringly easy to answer. The more difficult question is what kind of country Americans want.

The Trump administration is slashing food stamps. Here's what they're buying instead.

> A handmade Japanese flute. Fruit basket stands. Sushi prep tables. While four million Americans face losing food assistance, the Pentagon recently had its largest single-month spending spree on record.

Why do people get angry at keeping people from hunger but shrug at this? And the bombs and missiles are even worse.

They've gone from "liberating Iranians from their tyrannical rulers" to "bomb them into the stone age".

How can people vote for these monsters?
