If an Attorney General must be confirmed in the middle of the night, on a one party basis, by a single vote, after multiple delays and with defections from his own people, you know there’s probably something very wrong with that nominee And there is something VERY WRONG with Todd Blanche

Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has custom meals and a comfort puppy in prison. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick kept his job after lying about his ties to Epstein. Todd Blanche was OKd as AG after his Epstein files cover-up. Clearly, Republicans think the rape of children is no big deal.

Iran issues tough demands to reopen strait of Hormuz as deal remains out of reach

Tehran urges US to ‘correct its behaviour’ as UAE says one of its ships targeted by Iranian missile Iran has issued tough new demands for reopening the strait of Hormuz, while the United Arab Emirates said one of its ships was targeted by an Iranian missile, as a deal to open the strategic waterway remained out of reach on Saturday.

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