Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoCornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Jennifer Hegseth has no clearance, no confirmation, no appointment. She’s sat in on foreign military meetings, screened Pentagon hires, and was in the Signal chat. Now she chairs a presidential commission. The job she actually holds is “wife.”
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇
Todd Blanche's Midnight Confirmation Gambit Doesn't Actually Rewrite Trump's Deal
And the "concerned" senators and much of the media are falling for it.

There is little evidence that MAGA influencer Nick Adams’ nonprofit has provided the civics education it claims. A review of the organization's finances show that it has paid Adams and his mother more than half its recent annual revenue.

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.
Tillis & Cornyn will chickenshit out and vote for him
Hunter Biden: “As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his son. Fuck his daughter. I mean it. All of them. The whole family, down to the grandchildren. I hope that, for the rest of time, their names will live in ignominy. They have done the most awful things to my family and to me.”

GOOD TROUBLE: We could be a couple days from Judge Sullivan making a bombshell ruling in the Epstein Files redactions case brought by @katiephang.bsky.social. Everyone call your senator and tell them to VOTE NO on Blanche, or at least WAIT for Judge Sullivan.
Vaccines work. If there’s a vaccine for it, I have been vaccinated. So has my entire family. None of us has developed the diseases we’ve been immunized against. That’s exactly what vaccines are designed to do. Dr. Fauci was a scientist working in an environment hostile to science. Nobody wins.
The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.

Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch and a freakin' university professor, is again spinning pro-Russian narratives about imaginary Ukrainian war crimes, this time committed against...warehouses.
The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov
If you cannot answer a simple polite question from a voter, then you absolutely do not belong in the Senate.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · last wk.Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
These brainsmaxxers at DOJ can't even spell Todd Blanche's name correctly. Call your senators and ask them to VOTE NO on Tord Brunch!

From pages 38-45 of this remarkable book is a section on journalism that is so urgent, so compelling, so precise in identifying some of the major flaws and failures of mainstream journalism as an industry at this moment in time, that I wish I could make all American journalists read it.
Why is ABC doing false stories based on Russian propaganda?
Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.
BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.
