The Left is kicking and screaming. They can’t do anything to stop Trump’s agenda.
Now an unhinged Democrat screamed at Attorney General Pam Bondi for this ridiculous reason.
Bondi Shines in Congressional Budget Pitch
Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped into the spotlight Monday for her first congressional appearance since her January confirmation, confidently presenting the Justice Department’s 2026 budget to House appropriators.
Her steady leadership was on full display as she outlined a vision to strengthen law enforcement, but the hearing took an unexpected turn when Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) launched into a disruptive outburst. Bondi, however, handled the chaos with grace, showcasing her commitment to effective governance under pressure.
The session quickly became a one-sided shouting match as DeLauro accused Bondi of sabotaging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with a proposed budget cut.
Yet, Bondi’s calm demeanor and the hard data backing her plan underscored her capability, making a strong case for her leadership at the DOJ—a refreshing change from the disorder DeLauro brought to the table.
DeLauro’s Outburst Undermined by ATF Success
DeLauro’s tirade centered on a proposed 26 percent reduction in ATF funding, which she claimed would “weaken our ability to stop gun trafficking” and lead to personnel losses.
Her accusations, however, crumbled under the weight of exclusive data provided to Breitbart News by a senior DOJ official.
From January 20 to June 21, 2025, the ATF seized 14,579 firearms—a 33 percent increase over last year—including 8,670 in trafficking cases, with 2,011 headed to Mexico. The agency also nabbed 833,414 rounds of ammunition, up 41 percent from the previous year.
“Rep. DeLauro was unprepared for this hearing and clearly has little situational awareness as to what the ATF actually does,” a senior DOJ official remarked.
“She tried to make up for that lack of knowledge by screaming at the Attorney General. The data shows that the ATF is thriving—seizing illegal guns at a higher rate than under the prior administration and playing a key role in dismantling international trafficking networks.”
DeLauro pressed Bondi with pointed questions: “How can you justify such a massive cut without inevitably weakening ATF’s ability to help our state and local law enforcement fight illegal gun trafficking?” and “How many ATF law enforcement officers and industry operations investigators do you anticipate will be lost to attrition as a result of this funding reduction you are proposing?”
Her interruptions, including a demand for a “yes or no” answer, painted her as more interested in grandstanding than understanding Bondi’s strategy.
Bondi’s Vision Prevails Amid Political Noise
Undeterred by DeLauro’s interruptions, Bondi outlined a smart reorganization plan to align the ATF with the DEA, boosting street-level operations to tackle violent crime. “We will not be having ATF agents go to the doors of gun owners in the middle of the night, asking them about their guns, period,” she asserted, reassuring the public of her respect for lawful gun ownership—a stance that resonates with those tired of overreach.
“It will be attrition. We are not firing agents. They will be working,” Bondi clarified.
“They want to be doing their jobs,” highlighting her focus on efficiency and morale, a stark contrast to DeLauro’s disruptive tactics.
