ICYMI: October 7, 2025

Below are some headlines we may have missed. Please feel free to share your finds as long as they are not from some Fake News cesspool. However, today’s blog will focus a lot on Battling Pam Blondie. Blondie testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and did not fully answer questions; became a combative, a hostile witness, and showed such disrespect for members of the Democratic Party who sit on the committee.

Reality Star, Mean Girl, Attorney General Pam Blondie:

“I Know You are, But What am I?”

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?” BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡 (That’s a yes)

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Pam Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

Sen. Kennedy with another set of probing questions about Epstein 👇 KENNEDY: Have you interviewed Secretary Lutnick? BONDI: No senator K: Do you plan to? B: If he wants to talk to the FBI– K: Don't you think you ought to talk to him after this interview? Maybe we ought to get Lutnick in here

On Tom Homan:

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Schiff: “Was that true, what the White House press secretary said when she denied that Homan took the money? Did he take the money?”

Bondi: “Senator Schiff, as I stated earlier, I was not in office, I was not confirmed when that was handled. Deputy AG Blanche and Director Patel… pic.twitter.com/CZVlhXNfLQ

“Don’t Question My Authority!”

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

“Liberal” Grand Juries:

What does Pam Bondi know about the grand jurors who indicted Comey and how does she know it?

In a Nutshell:

WOW! Sen. Adam Schiff got Bondi so flustered that she started blurting things out while he details what a farce this "oversight" hearing has been and the Republican members' lack of interest in doing their jobs.

Shoutout to Adam Schiff! 👏🏽

Sen. Adam Schiff: "You were asked whether you consulted with career ethics lawyers, as you promised you would do during your nomination hearing, when you approved the president recovering a $400 million gift from the Qataris. You refused to answer that question. You were asked… pic.twitter.com/3NcEZ939yF

Updates:

Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator – demonstrably false – rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"

Whitehouse: "It obviously makes a big difference when you have a professional DOJ and there's no alleged involvement of the president in a sex trafficking operation. This is different. This is a MAGA DOJ conducting an investigation into a trafficking operation in which POTUS may well be implicated"

The Fascist Felon and His Brownshirts:

“Why are you saying some federal workers shouldn’t get back pay?” TRUMP: “You’ll have to figure that out. Ask the Dems.”🤔 @RepDonBeyer: “Federal employees are guaranteed back pay without exception by law” 👇🏽

Pudding Time!:

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

Craven Assholes:

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.
