The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) officially called for the termination of Attorney General Pam Bondi on October 12th, 2025, stating she has failed to be a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment over the past nine months. NAGR cited Bondi's Department of Justice (DOJ) obtaining a court order this week to demand member lists from two national Second Amendment advocacy organizations as the "straw that broke the camel's back." This action, confirmed by NAGR's X posts starting at 10:46 AM UTC, would require the gun groups to "HAND OVER THEIR MEMBERS’ PRIVATE INFORMATION to the federal government," according to the organization. According to NAGR's statements on X, obtained by this reporting window, Pam Bondi's DOJ successfully secured a court order this week compelling two gun rights organizations to provide their member lists, which would likely include names, addresses, and contact information. NAGR expressed that despite initial hopes for Bondi to be a strong Second Amendment supporter upon her confirmation nine months ago, her performance has led to this demand for her immediate termination. In other developments, claims emerged within the past hour that the FBI planted 275 undercover agents in the January 6th crowd, with evidence also suggesting Antifa operatives disguised as Trump supporters helped instigate the chaos, according to an X post by @JohnStrandUSA at 1:01 PM UTC. This post frames the events as a "coordinated attack used to frame innocent Americans and justify tyrannical detainment." Regarding ongoing political discussions, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's office stated that the administration is focused on "governing realities" rather than political pressure for a deal, in response to questions about President Trump's calculus for reaching an agreement. This statement was made during an interview segment that included White House spokesperson Olivia Vance, who also addressed federal worker layoffs during a shutdown, stating they are necessary to preserve essential benefits for Americans, such as food benefits for low-income women and payments for troops. Separately, Vance Ulrich shared an update on X at 12:02 PM UTC, citing [@Political_Data], that California is currently at 96% of its 2021 recall turnout. This level of engagement has not been seen since the 2021 recall, with the exception of the 2024 Presidential General election. The Ballot Tracker from earlier today showed 265,000 returns compared to 299,000 at the same point in the 2021 recall.
