Pam Bondi Steps In as Trump’s Pick for Attorney General

In a swift decision following the withdrawal of his initial nominee, Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump has named Pam Bondi his attorney general choice. Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is no stranger to Trump’s inner circle, having served on his legal team during his first impeachment trial. During Trump’s latest campaign, she also played a key role in managing voting-related lawsuits in critical battleground states. Her nomination underscores Trump’s reliance on trusted allies as he prepares to enter his second term. Gaetz, initially considered for the role, withdrew his candidacy earlier in the day for unspecified reasons, paving the way for Pam Bondi’s selection.

Marjorie Taylor Greene to Chair New Subcommittee on Government Efficiency

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a vocal leader of the MAGA faction within the Republican Party, has announced her appointment as chairwoman of a new House subcommittee focused on government efficiency. According to Greene, the subcommittee is being organized under the direction of Representative James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee. The panel aims to collaborate with tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy in their efforts to streamline the operations of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Greene’s role signals a broader effort by House Republicans to align with private-sector innovators in reshaping government functions. The initiative is expected to prioritize reducing bureaucratic hurdles and increasing transparency.

Senator Bob Casey Concedes Pennsylvania Senate Race

In a closely contested Pennsylvania Senate race, Democratic Senator Bob Casey has officially conceded to his Republican challenger, David McCormick. Casey, an 18-year incumbent, acknowledged McCormick’s victory weeks after the polls closed, describing the contest as one of the tightest in his career. In a video message shared on social media, Casey stated that he had personally called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard,” he remarked. The concession brings an end to a contentious battle that had drawn national attention, solidifying Republican gains in the Senate and setting the stage for McCormick to take office.

This trio of developments highlights significant political shifts as Trump’s administration takes shape, House Republicans advance their agenda, and Pennsylvania turns a key Senate seat red.

Another reminder to Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives of the urgent need to approve additional aid for Ukraine immediately. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Ukrainian officials worry that Russian forces could gain momentum on the battlefield by the summer if allies do not increase ammunition supplies to Kyiv, Bloomberg reported on Feb. 29, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

Ukraine is in an increasingly precarious position in the war with Russia, as $60 billion in U.S. assistance remains stuck in Congress, causing serious ammunition shortages and contributing to the loss of Avdiivka.

Russian forces have been ramping up pressure along the front, capturing several other villages after taking the key front-line city in Donetsk Oblast. An unnamed European official told Bloomberg that these losses should act as a wake-up call to Ukraine’s allies.

According to Ukraine’s intelligence assessments, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has not given up on his goal to seize major cities like Kyiv and Odesa, Bloomberg wrote, citing its source. Moscow’s troops failed to capture the capital or any other regional center in its early offensive in 2022, except for Kherson, which was liberated months later.

Made for television.

January 8, 2024

When people elect a representative to Congress, they expect someone who will propose and support laws for the good of the country and the legislator's constituents. Sadly for many Republican voters, what they get instead is an attention-seeking clown who thinks public service is a reality TV show.

Case in point: Florida congressman Matt Gaetz (pictured above at his usual place of business). The son of a prominent and wealthy former Florida Senate leader, Gaetz was elected to the US House in 2016 and immediately began engaging in stunts designed to get his moniker on social media and his mug on Fox News.

There was the time he showed up on the House floor wearing a gas mask during a COVID relief vote. There was his much-publicized bill to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency. And there were his many guest shots on Fox defending Donald Trump. By 2021, Forbes calculated he had made "at least 179 appearances since he was sworn into office in 2017."

Plus, of course, there was his high-profile participation in removing Kevin McCarthy from the House speakership. For many of his fellow GOPers, that was the final straw. Said Florida representative Carlos Gimenez of Gaetz, “He’s about how many cameras he can get shoved in his face." Senator Markwayne Mullin (OK) groused, “All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the Speaker of the House. And he was never going to leave." McCarthy himself remarked, “Matt’s goal was to be the TV congressman.” Meanwhile, Time magazine described the Florida congressman as "a show horse more interested in booking TV hits than passing legislation."

But limelight-hungry Gaetz is not alone. Khale Lenhart, former chairman of the Laramie County (Wyoming) Republican Party, spells out why.

Modern political campaigns have given rise to a new breed of politician: the performance artist. This type of candidate is known less for their ideas or qualifications and more for their attention-grabbing antics. Whether it be through bombastic statements or through policy proposals with no basis in reality, this type of candidate is far more concerned with performance than policy.

Which explains the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Elise Stefanik and dozens more Republicans polluting the House. Says The New York Post, for them, "Congress is merely a platform for the development and enhancement of a personal brand, not an institution to honor and serve." In short, they're not really lawmakers, they're just entertainers constantly in search of (as CNN's Jake Tapper put it) "clicks and likes and Fox hits."

FBI Budget Cuts & Whistleblower Protection: House Republicans' Strategy

[famousautomatondreamsrockstar]

Call the government and tell them to cancel the arrest warrant - the allegations are false - I do not have intentions to hurt myself nor anyone else nor am I seeing nor hearing things other people don't - the police are trying to abuse me.

If Lindsey Graham, and the rest of the GOP, had grown a pair of balls 9 years ago and ran Congress like he spoke today I bet we wouldn't have this Democrat circus right now. Instead they've spent the last 9 years being the DNC's whipping boys. Their bending over playing the role of DNC light has created this mess. Just like beer, light is worthless. These spineless cowards are just as complicit as the Democrats. It's too little too late. #lindseygraham #brettkavanaugh #senate #senaterepublicans #houseofrepresentatives #houserepublicans #gop #republicans #democrats #dnc #media #politics #politicians #government #cowards https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQL_Mbl1aF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s98o4q745f86

At least negotiate with me — don't be such a hardhead — don't worship the protocol above the human — would you at least investigate if I'm willing to seek help for my mistakes? What if I'm actually a good person and I'm willing to become good enough? I swear on my life I'll never repeat my mistakes. Maybe we shouldn't normally pardon crimes, but maybe I'm not a normal person — what if I'm here to save the world from evil and what if you need me? I can't go to prison because you need me — I don't want people to riot in the streets and kill everyone because you put the world champion of all rockstars in prison — I'm a soldier in God's Army — I'm here to fight devils and demons — I'm the leader of intelligence — I'm here to save the world from evil.
