There's no way Trump's personal lawyer and architect of the $1.8 billion slush fund can be the People's Advocate! Todd Blanche is wrong for Attorney General, period!
Ohio Fair Courts Alliance@ohfaircourts.bsky.social · last mo.The Attorney General must defend the rule of law — not undermine it. Our blog explains the role of an attorney general, the importance of the position, and why Todd Blanche isn’t the right person for the job. www.ohiofaircourts.org/post/todd-bl... @commoncauseohio.bsky.social @commoncause.org
A federal judge just confirmed what we said from the start: a president can't use the courts to enrich himself. Todd Blanche helped push this baseless scheme. That's exactly why he's unfit to be Attorney General. The Senate must #RejectBlanche.

#WeThePeople The Constitution Preamble made a stop in CBus today. Lady Liberty was there! Lots of folks came out to put their #JohnHancock on the scroll. 📜 @meredithbenston.bsky.social @mia34.bsky.social @commoncauseohio.bsky.social @mishkagriffin.bsky.social @indivisible.org
Callais is disingenuous statutory interpretation stuffed in willful mock naivete rolled up in ahistorical blather with a light glaze of facilitating racism. As both judicial reasoning and real-world policy, it’s a turducken of putrid.

Gotta make these for real
Pete Hegseth’s broker reportedly tried to make a multimillion-dollar investment in a fund of weapons stocks just weeks before Trump launched his war on Iran. Remember when even the appearance of corruption was enough to trigger a resignation? We must not become numb to this.
