Attorney General Pam Bondi came out swinging today during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats’ plan was clear from the start: to distract and divert from their government shutdown, lawlessness in cities, rogue judges, and the death and destruction Joe Biden’s open border policies unleashed. Pam Bondi was having none of it and continuously brought the conversation back to what Democrats tried to avoid. It’s one of those things: Democrats need to shift the focus on who’s to blame to mask their incompetence. She came prepared, bringing a gun to the Democrats’ knife fight. When liberal media reporters admit that she was cooking Democrats, you know it’s bad.
Before we get to her taking these clowns to the cleaners, let’s get down to the Justice Department’s report card, which Democrats ignored to spew their talking points, which she slapped down with ease. She came prepared; they did not.
“While there is more work to do, I believe that in eight short months, we have made tremendous progress towards those ends,” said Bondi. “Our U.S. Attorneys, Immigration attorneys, and law enforcement agents are excepted employees who are still hard at work prosecuting key cases and keeping our streets safe.”
In the war on fentanyl, 4,500 kilograms of powder, 50 million pills, 58,000 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 203,000 kilograms of cocaine were seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The FBI saw a 91 percent increase in the arrest of violent offenders, some 23,000 arrests, and nabbed 1,500 more child predators from last year. The operations of 1,600 gangs and drug cartels, something that’s been admitted to by members of these enterprises.
The US Marshal Service has captured 51,000 fugitives. The BATFE has seized 25,000 illegal firearms and 13,600 explosives, with 3,400 firearms being illegally trafficked to Mexico.
Bondi reaffirmed that the DOJ remains operational, despite the antics from Democrats on the Hill. The civil rights division remains hell on wheels regarding discrimination and antisemitism, especially on college campuses. The criminal division remains aggressive in putting away high-profile terrorists.
So, with all that laid out, the Democrats tried to score points, and it failed. It’s not the best ground for them to mount any offensive, since voters rightly view Democrats as weak on public safety. Bondi had epic one-liners and rebuttals, which Democrats had no comeback for. Sen. Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) tried to question Bondi’s integrity. She shot back that he lied about his military record, which is true. Bondi slammed Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), noting that her entire staff was working without pay because her party had shut down the government. She also reminded Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) that the National Guard is en route to his state, along with FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, to restore law and order to his state.
Pam Bondi was having none of Adam Schiff (D-CA) searching for another five minutes of fame.
Often, a witness in a hearing such as this ends up playing defense, revealing chinks in their armor, slowly weakening their case. Those days are over. Democrats who argue for lawlessness lose the argument before they even start. Pam Bondi started her opening statement on offense, never lost possession, and left the hearing room with the proverbial football in her hand.

BREAKING: Appeals Court Lifts Judge’s Order Blocking Trump From Mobilizing Oregon National Guard Troops
A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops.
On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.
Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops.
The TRO will expire on October 18.
The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis.
On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment.
Trump also activated up to 400 Texas National Guard troops for deployment to Oregon, Illinois and other states amid violent, anti-ICE protests.
Late Sunday evening Judge Immergut held an emergency hearing after President Trump ‘circumvented’ her previous order halting troop deployment to Portland.
The judge issued a second TRO and blocked all troop deployment to Oregon.
15/ Plaintiff: Appropriate to issue a second order with broader scope to incorporate reasoning, “exploited” b/c TRO limited to Oregon, so we want to prohibit stay federalized members of any national guards of any state or district of columbia. Judge: That’s what I will do, I will…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday unanimously voted to lift Judge Immergut’s Temporary Restraining Order on Trump’s mobilization of Oregon National Guard Troops.
However, the Ninth Circuit left in place Judge Immergut’s block on troop deployment.
The three-judge panel included: Graber (Clinton), Nelson (Trump), and Bade (Trump).
President Trump previously authorized troops to Portland, Oregon, and other Democrat-run cities to protect ICE agents from Antifa terrorists and other radical far-left groups.
“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump previously said on Truth Social.
Right on cue, Democrat-run Oregon sued the Trump Administration to stop the deployment of troops.
Arguments on a longer stay are scheduled for Thursday.
