ICYMI: March 17, 2026

Only the most moronic MAGAt would believe what The Fascist Felon’Possible Child Rapist spews.

Reporter: Trump said multiple times yesterday that he had spoken to one of the former presidents who privately told him, "I wish I did what you did when it comes to Iran." But George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden all say that none of them spoke to Trump about Iran.

Comer formally subpoenas Pam Bondi over Epstein investigation

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday formally subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer questions about the Epstein files.

“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote in the cover letter of the subpoena.

“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts.”

Congress:

Lieu: "Undocumented immigrants want nothing to do with the govt! To vote, you have to first register. How many undocumented immigrants are gonna go, 'Yes, I'm gonna give all my information to the govt that's maybe trying to deport me. No way!' This is a problem that doesn't exist."

Trump: "I'm pretty good at this stuff. If you can go through years of these press conferences and you're a popular president of the United States that won in a landslide, that won all 7 swing states, that got record numbers of votes — I mean, I guess I'm okay at this stuff."

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"
