If you watched the U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi contemptuously deflect questions about the Epstein files in a recent hearing, you might have had a strong reaction to it in your nervous system.
That’s what I had – for two scary reasons, one of which can be explained by political science.
In case you’ve missed it, Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General (that is, the Executive branch), was being questioned by the House Judicial Committee (that is, the Legislative branch) about the Department of Justice’s conduct regarding the Epstein files.
Here’s an excerpt from the hearing that stuck with me and that I refer to in my video, which is just below this one.
In my video, I also mention an article I wrote several years ago. You can find it here.
And now, my simple analysis, including one of the things that political science could say about Pam Bondi’s behaviour.
To hear a therapist’s take on how Bondi’s behaviour caters to fascism, watch this video, and follow a brilliant account that produced it.

How Did Jon Stewart Miss The Greatest Piece of Satire on His Show?
Here’s a reminder that choosing to interview someone who history – and, hopefully, the ICJ – will remember as a war criminal and a genocide enabler, like Annalena Baerbock, is very much not cool. Especially when you have a massive platform.
What, According to My Government, Other Countries Can Learn from Israel
This is the most straightforward way I can put it: just like there are countries in history known for their collaboration with the Nazi regime, my country, Lithuania, has inscribed itself as one of the staunchest supporters of Israel, no matter the scale, depravity, or geography of its crimes. See if my rage resonates with…
