Todd Blanche is likely to be the worst Attorney General in US History, given both his background and his current statements.

Dr. Fauci served as a dedicated public servant, working hard during the pandemic to keep us all alive.
The climate change accelerated super El Niño is going to cause weather mayhem this coming winter.
It is 100 days before Election Day. It is time to build the blue tsunami together.
It is becoming more and more obvious every day that Trump is suffering from dementia and should resign for all of our sakes.
Just a reminder that Trump’s ill conceived war in Iran is going very badly.
There are zero roads in most of Canada’s forests. Forest management is largely impossible there. Trump doesn’t know what he is talking about.
One hour of jet lag twice a year in exchange for not having super dark mornings all winter long - that seems like a good deal. People fly coast to coast everyday with its three-hour jet lag and seem to do fine.
When I was a kid during the Oil Crisis, we tried permanent daylight savings. Everyone ended up hating it, and it was repealed before long. The big problem is that kids have to go to school in the dark in December and January and as a result get hit and killed by cars at an alarming rate.
It seems inevitable that Ukraine’s targeted campaign to destroy Russia’s oil industry will cripple Russia’s economy.
Trump’s FIFA meddling taints the future accomplishments of the fine USA men’s team.
(Despite our currently terrible government,) Happy 250th Independence Day!!!
Trump’s actions always start from the question: “How can I grift here?”
SCOTUS finally did something good by affirming birthright citizenship. They did not take us back to the bad old days of the infamous 1857 Dred Scott SCOTUS decision where citizenship was denied to persons of black African descent.
The SCOTUS denial of cert of Trump's final appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case means that for all time Trump is an adjudicated rapist.
In 1876 for the Centennial, there was a huge World’s Fair in Philadelphia where the right hand and torch of the Statue of Liberty was shown and the telephone was demonstrated. For the 250th, we get Kid Rock and sadness.
I remember the Bicentennial in 1976. It was amazingly joyful. My High School raised a huge amount of money to fly the whole marching band to DC to be the parade. This time it is so different and sad.
It looks like Federal Judge Williams in Miami may find that Trump and Blanche committed fraud before the court in the IRS settlement / J6 slush fund case.
The saga of the reflecting pool reminds me of some Greek Tragedy where an external rot symbolizes the internal rot of the tragic figure.
Juneteenth reminds us that the Civil War was never about state’s rights. It was always about protecting the institution of slavery.
Grid-scale solar plus battery just keeps riding the volume cost curve down. It is already the first choice for new generation capacity and keeps getting cheaper by the year.
The buzz around how Trump’s Iran deal is so terrible for us is a reminder of how Trump bankrupted four different casino-hotels.
Questlove’s new documentary about Earth, Wind & Fire (on HBOMax) brought me back to the old days, taught me about their cultural impact, and revealed a back story that I had no idea about. It’s worth watching.
Trump's right arm doesn't swing as much as his left arm does anymore. There is a good video of this from his entry to his UFC fight last night. There are several possible neurological explanations for this, and all of them are bad.
The UFC Fight at the government-owned, Trump-controlled White House is a for-profit event by a private promoter that Trump is in investor in. Sounds illegal to me.
You can think about the vanity screen around the scaffolding that the Kennedy Center staff spent ten hours building yesterday before removing Trump’s name as a disability accommodation to protect his disabled psyche.
I’m so happy to see the Kennedy Center back to how the law that established it says it must be.
