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.

    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.

      Look at the source, MS.now? “Maddowblog”? this is liberal slop meant to make tuned out median Americans who oppose Trump say “Well, looks like it’s falling apart, I can just sit back and wait.”

      It’s a tranquilizer. It’s meant to dull your mind and digest an atomized view of the world. I would challenge the average Lemmy browser who is about to say something positive here to go look at some conservative forums and subreddits, they are getting the exact opposite messaging.

      Mainstream media is trying to divide us and feed us opposing narratives so we don’t unite and organize. Or at least so we don’t bother doing anything or getting involved in our politics.
