Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake just endorsed Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia. "Character matters. And I want someone in that seat who takes the institution seriously and will protect the institution."

Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake backs Jon Ossoff, saying ‘character matters’

The Arizona Republican has been one of the loudest critics of President Donald Trump. He says Ossoff's character outweighs any policy disagreements they might have.

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

I met with graduate students, deans, and financial aid experts to discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to limit access to graduate student loans. A financial aid officer summed it up: "It's directly impacting students...it's absolutely heartbreaking."

Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

Ron Johnson is the king of matter-of-factly stating completely bonkers conspiracy theory nonsense that he clearly knows to be false as true.

Ron Johnson: "Aaron Rodgers was smart enough to take ivermectin when he got covid ... unfortunately, more people didn't follow him. We wouldn't have had as many of athletes falling unconscious, sometimes dead on the field of play. You've seen the video reels of this happening in 2021."

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Whitehouse on Blanche: "Today is a sad and embarrassing day"

Lost in the chatter about Todd Blanche and Trump's slush fund is the fact that anti-abortion Senators have demanded Blanche do a whole mess of things for them. The judiciary committee votes Tuesday morning. We're in the danger zone

Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · last wk.

In the past month, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee have asked Todd Blanche to: *review DOJ's stance on the Comstock Act, a law antis claim bans all abortions *force FDA to end abortion pills via telehealth to settle a lawsuit *fan flames about abortions later in pregnancy this is all Bad News

The slush fund was always a decoy of sorts. They tossed their henchmen under the bus (who could see that coming) to lock down the tax immunity. The entire deal was corrupt. Both ends. Start to finish. This is how Blanche does the job. Not reason to confirm him; it's proof he should be rejected.

The Trump DOJ refuses to deploy the FBI to investigate any leads from the Epstein Files. Blanche has been shown unredacted documents that provide evidence to pursue and he won’t do it.
