Why are we allowing failed appointees to take on new government positions after being fired? President Trump has appointed former Attorney General Pam Bondi to an advisory committee focused on AI policy. Pam Bondi, whom Trump ousted as AG last month, will be on the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). She will be charged with facilitating coordination between the government and the tech titans on the panel, and will also serve in a newly established advisory role on national infrastructure. Pam Bondi's most notable failures were over her handling of the Epstein files and her weaponization of the DOJ to go after Trump's political enemies. This is not someone who should be rewarded with another government position, or any responsibilities within the government. The Republican controlled Congress has failed the American people by failing to push back on Trump's poor decisions, by confirming his unfit nominees, and by refusing to use the power Congress is given in the Constitution to uphold our laws and Democracy.
