A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Tactical gear will soon become part of school safety officers’ everyday outfit The Philadelphia School Board of Education has approved a $600,000 contract to provide all school safety officers handcuffs and bulletproof vests.

"Multiple studies have found that school resource officers do not reduce gun-related incidents at schools, but do intensify the use of suspension, expulsion and police referral, especially for Black and Brown students."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. "Try everyone involved in ICE for crimes against humanity" is the progressive one.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

America won’t act fast β€” or act at all β€” on gun violence because our society is broken. Look at how we elected an untruthful, brutal, heartless man, who stokes violence every day with his words and actions, to be our president. Twice. #MomSky

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

The Republican Brain Doesn’t Want To Understand Health Care For 15 years we have heard the same lies and misrepresentations

Good piece from Krugman on health insurance, which has a delicious throwaway about my β€œhapless” congressman.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

SchrΓΆdinger's young adults: Both fearsome terrorists who need to be deported from the United States for so much as writing an op-ed, and also just kids telling jokes for which they can't be expected to be held accountable.
