Pam Bondi has been confirmed as U.S. Attorney General with a 54-46 vote, after a week-long delay due to a procedural hold by Senate Democrats.
Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, emphasized restoring trust and impartiality in the Department of Justice during her testimony.
While her nomination received strong support from Republicans, Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff, questioned her independence, especially regarding pardons related to the January 6th Capitol riot. Bondi vowed to handle each case independently.
Now confirmed, Bondi faces the challenge of leading the DOJ amid political tensions. Her ability to balance loyalty to the administration with upholding the law will be critical in her new role.
John Foster walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and looked up to the sky. Then, in a voice barely louder than a whisper, he said one name: Elvis Presley. The crowd leaned in. And then—with tears slipping down his face—he grabbed the mic and sang “Jailhouse Rock” like it was the last thing he’d ever do. His voice cracked, not from weakness, but from pure emotion. You could hear the ache, the love, the weight of memory in every note. For a few minutes, the world stood still. 50,000 people held their breath. Then—boom. The silence shattered into thunderous applause. This wasn’t just a song. It was a goodbye, a thank you, and a piece of John’s soul laid bare on stage.
