Rep. Ted Lieu had FBI Director Christopher Wray confirm it was Trump's own Attorneys General who prosecuted Trump's corrupt

Democratic California Representative Ted Lieu gave GOP lawmakers a major reality check after they carped on the Justice Department for perpetually targeting former Republican President Donald Trump.

Lieu, who has been Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus since 2023, spoke up during a Judiciary Committee after GOP lawmakers accused FBI Director Christopher Wray of being politically biased.


In response to a heated exchange with Republican Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman, Wray pointed out his longstanding registration as a Republican who was appointed to his position by Trump.

Said Wray:

“The idea that I’m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background."

Lieu supported Wray's defense and named six former Trump associates who have pleaded guilty or have been convicted of various crimes while the DOJ was run by GOP leadership.

The criminals Lieu referenced included Trump advisor Roger Stone, and donor Elliott Broidy, both of whom were convicted in federal court under Trump-appointed Attorney General Bill Barr.

Lieu also mentioned Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen who was convicted on two separate occasions in federal court–the second of which he was convicted under Trump-appointed Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

Lieu then reminded the floor that Wray was the FBI Director during those cases and was also appointed by the former President.

Lieu continued:

“What these facts show is we don’t have a two-tiered system of justice."
"We have one Department of Justice that goes after criminals regardless of party ideology."

Lieu added:

“It is not the fault of the FBI that Donald Trump surrounded himself with criminals. Donald Trump brought that upon himself."
"Thank you to the FBI for exposing the cesspool of corruption of these Trump associates.”

And Twitter gave him a standing ovation.














The truth will always prevail–especially when it's this kind of Ted Talk.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
