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.

This is the lifelong dream of every Republican and conservative. They want to destroy the US government because it has the power to arrest them for being evil and racist even when their local governments protects them.

    Hardly unravelling, more like being reformed to carry out the current administrations agenda. Anyone not on board is being pushed out. This take that it's "coming apart at the seams" is pure copium. The only thing coming apart at the seams is the old world order.

    I so want to see Pam Bondi on the stand and under oath.

    Even better, I'd like to see her mugshots released to the world when she's arrested. :)

    Republicans: "We have to drop DEI and start hiring based on merit."

    Also Republicans: fill departments with people hired based on no merit whatever.

    More copium. ‘Breaking down’, ‘disarray’, ‘increasingly isolated’; all keep-the-clicks-coming articles while nothing changes. A staple of trump presidencies. FFS.
