Attorney General Pam Bondi spent over four hours on Wednesday melting down in one of the most chaotic congressional hearings in recent memory—complete with shouting matches, personal insults, and Epstein survivors being completely ignored by the nation’s top law enforcement official. She even inexplicably brought up the stock market in a truly bizarre effort to deflect from the Epstein coverup.

The House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing was ostensibly about the Justice Department’s work, but it quickly devolved into a series of explosive confrontations over the DOJ’s botched handling of Jeffrey Epstein files and the department’s targeting of Trump critics.

We put together all the most explosive moments — watch the “highlights” here.

A man Trump pardoned on day one has been convicted on five counts of child molestation in Florida and faces life in prison. But it gets worse. According to investigators, Johnson tried to silence one of his child victims by promising them money from a (completely fabricated) $10 million payout he claimed Trump was giving him for being a “jan 6’er.” Read the full story.

Gallup is killing its presidential approval polling after 88 years—a “strategic shift,” they say—just as Trump sits at a miserable 38 percent. Of course, there’s no evidence Trump directly pressured them, but this is the same president who literally sued pollsters when their numbers made him look bad. Whether Gallup caved or just “pivoted,” the result is the same—one less way to hold this disaster accountable. Read the full story.

Bondi showed up to her congressional hearing literally holding receipts—a printed list of exactly which Epstein files Rep. Pramila Jayapal had searched at the DOJ. The Justice Department, which set up a deliberately difficult system for lawmakers to review unredacted Epstein documents (four computers in a tiny room, unique logins, no phones), was apparently logging every search members of Congress made—then using that surveillance data to embarrass Democrats in public hearings. Read the full story.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is actually doing what he said he’d do (surprise!): proposing a 2% tax increase on millionaires and hiking corporate tax rates to close the city’s $7 billion budget gap. But Governor Kathy Hochul—who keeps getting mobbed with “tax the rich” chants everywhere she goes—needs to approve Mamdani’s wildly popular plan before it can become reality. Read the full story.

Yesterday we asked, did Democrats engage in "seditious behavior" as Trump claims? Literally 100% of you said NO.

Here are some stories the algorithms may be keeping out of your feed.

Attorney General Pam Bondi spent Tuesday screaming about the stock market while Jeffrey Epstein's survivors sat behind her waiting for answers. She accused Democrats of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." And when confronted with evidence that contradicted her testimony, she yelled "Don't you ever accuse me of crime!"

This wasn't just a meltdown. This was the strategy. And once you understand what's actually in those files—and whose names got protected while survivors were exposed—you'll see exactly why she needed to run out the clock.
