As Attorney General Pam Bondi’s tenure approaches the one-year mark, the Justice Department she ostensibly leads is clearly a mess. Over the course of 2025, the DOJ struggled with everything from personnel purges to incompetence to weaponization.

But as 2026 gets underway, conditions at the Justice Department have gone from bad to worse. Indeed, almost two weeks into the new year, the DOJ appears to be an agency in crisis, rapidly unraveling before our eyes.

    I remember the (IRL) reaction from a few normies and “independents” (meaning, Republicans that don’t want to admit it): “isn’t that just a conspiracy theory?”

    Me: If being able to read the published plans of this group in a PDF they themselves published is a “conspiracy theory”, I guess language has lost its meaning.

      Not “I guess”. That’s it. We live in a post-truth society (in America at least). The truth can be whatever you want it to be. We’re so fucked, but I think enough common idiots are finally realizing what’s happening.
