Epstein Survivors Say Republicans Ghosted Them Before Blanche Vote

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse say they were stood up after having scheduled a meeting to speak about Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.

Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

Another day where the president & other national Republicans get to sh*t on cities/urban voters & we have <exactly none> of the National Conversations™️ about Civility, Tone, Respect for/Reaching out to Real Folkz, or the GOP’s problem of not offering enough Moderate Solutions on Kitchen Table Issues

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

While Blanche claims the settlement is dead, Trump spent the weekend making it clear it's totally alive. He's fighting for it in court and on social media. And Blanche's document only rescinds the order officially setting up the fund. It doesn't change the settlement itself.

Trump Spends The Weekend Fighting For The $1.776 Billion Slush Fund His Chosen Attorney General Swears Is Dead Sometimes it helps to just write out... https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/03/trump-spends-the-weekend-fighting-for-the-1-776-billion-slush-fund-his-chosen-attorney-general-swears-is-dead/

I think we can say this is the spiritual opposite of Biden’s loan forgiveness program, which targeted public service degrees for debt relief. I don’t think he needs much defending, but the way people blamed him for SCOTUS and the GOP stonewalling debt relief was a real low point in our politics.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.
