“I have concluded that it is necessary to rescind Merrick Garland’s policies precluding the Department of Justice from seeking records and compelling testimony from members of the news media in order to identify and punish the source of improper leaks,” Bondi wrote in an internal memo obtained by Axios.

Bondi’s announcement comes as several federal agencies have been beset by constant — and often embarrassing — leaks.

      Eh, not just America. Both France and Germany are seeing a rise in right-wing ideologies, not to mention the countries where they’re already in power.

        The UK is likely to leap to the right next time they have an election too. They had a decade and a half of terrible right-wing government then voted for something else, but what they got was terrible centrist government and they’re frustrated. The centrists expelled all the left politicians from the Labour Party, so now the choice in England at least is Labour’s centrism-with-bigotry, incompetent Conservative, neo-fascist, another fairly directionless centrist party that appears to be led by a clown, or Green. Because people are angry, it’s likely to flip far right.

        Whataboutism. Can’t wait for the countries you mentioned to be standing and laughing once the ruins of America catch on fire.
