TAPPER: You voted for Blanche. Do you think it's appropriate for the AG to be participating in a partisan political event? CASSIDY: All I saw was that little snippet. I'm going to reserve comment because I was not aware of that before this. I will say Republicans are very strong on law enforcement

The president of the United States is a rapist.

Looking forward to the transition from a dead mall economy to an abandoned data center economy.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

These questions have now been asked of Blanche repeatedly & he gives the same bullshit answer each time. Here’s an idea: How about we ask Blanche direct and pointed questions about his noncompliance with court orders from Judge Sullivan compelling him to provide unredacted Epstein Files?

WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.

January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

"But if the White House is going to try and scare me by putting a public target on my back, then I’m going to do what I wish we’d seen from all of those law firms and universities and tech CEOs and legacy media companies that opted to capitulate when Trump targeted them. I’m going to fight back."

One Democrat says something mildly critical of Thanksgiving and the entire GOP insists all Democrats are laser-focused on ending the holiday. And then the GOP president commits a crime every hour and they insist it has absolutely nothing to do with them. How dare you even associate them with him?!

Ashley Kuckelman@ashleyvotesblue.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how monumentally stupid Chuck’s post is - cancel Thanksgiving? JFC Republicans will say ANYTHING to get their cult base all worked up. 🙄

Cassidy's Hegseth vote caused the death of children in an Iran school bombing. His RFK vote caused the death of children due to vaccine skepticism and now his Blanche vote will help wealthy men get away with raping children. That is his legacy.

She doesn't have the courage to ask this question however. "Todd Blanche is actively protecting the perpetrators of child rape as witnessed by the lack of transparency with the Epstein files and Maxwell's sweetheart deal. How could you, in good conscience, vote for someone like this?"

A Shanghai-raised businessman connected to shady practices handed Trump’s crypto firm $100 million. Where did this money come from? It looks like he was fronting for someone. This ought to be investigated by Dems if they win the House. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/09/u...

If you’re raising money to keep money in politics, I don’t consider you a Democrat. Get out of the party.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The most powerful rising force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. Corporate Democrats refuse to see how big money has corrupted America. They — and their billionaire donors — are some of the biggest enablers of Trump's neo-fascism.

Maybe I’m a cynic, but I’m guessing Murkowski and Collins’ no votes were decided and allowed weeks ago. Collins wouldn’t have been allowed to announce her vote unless everyone other than Murkowski was a yes. These people made a deal to confirm a pedophile protector.

Where is the evidence that Trump actually wants to rebuild US manufacturing, and how is destroying solar power in the US going to achieve that? It’s stunning how media normalizes and whitewashes Trump‘s efforts to destroy the US.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 2mo ago

President Trump’s latest move to shun foreign solar power equipment is part of his effort to rebuild US manufacturing clout. It may simultaneously exacerbate the fast-widening green technology split between the US and the rest of the world.

Last night, the GOP members of the Senate approved Trump’s effort to destroy the rule of law in the US, wreck the Justice Dept., enable rampant corruption, defend pedophiles, and attack the president’s enemies. And they know they did those things. An egregious violation of their oaths of office.
