A hearing meant to close the Epstein chapter instead blew it wide open. The post Bondi Bombs on Capitol Hill appeared first on The American Conservative .

Politics Bondi Bombs on Capitol Hill A hearing meant to close the Epstein chapter instead blew it wide open. She yelled, she flailed, she taunted. She accused everyone else in the room of rampant theatrics. In the end, even the MAGA faithful on social media struggled to excuse what they had witnessed. In the defining moment of her career so far, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony in front of the House judiciary committee couldn’t have gone much worse if she had tried.

UK Special Coverage ‘Nothing to Fear but Keir Himself’ Labour’s electoral fundamentals remain dire, despite Starmer’s survival of a party putsch.  UK Special Coverage Following his near-death experience last week, the Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has, we are told, been reborn. A soft-left phoenix has risen from the ashes of the “boys’ club.” This is how Labour women (and many male MPs) describe the allegedly misogynistic clan of right-wing “Blairites” who have been cleared out of Number 10 and who had had a malign influence, they believe, over the Labour Party leader. These “boys” include the departed chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, the defenestrated director of communications, Tim Allan, and of course…Open
