The far-left tells on itself when progressive Jews like @bradlander.bsky.social & @scottwiener.bsky.social are harassed and attacked like this. It has nothing to do with Israeli policy — and everything to do with pathological anti-Zionism morphing into antisemitism. It harms Jews AND Palestinians.

Brad Lander, a Democratic congressional nominee in New York City, faced heckling Saturday over his stance on Israel as he protested a Hindu nationalist politician speaking at Madison Square Garden.

John O’Malley represented the best of law enforcement. He made us better prosecutors and better people. I got to see him just before he died and he was still telling legendary stories about his cases and the people he helped. A true legend. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/n...

Cassidy claims Blanche can pushback against the “worst impulses” of Trump. So what? Either he hasn’t exercised that superpower or he’s disagreed with Trump on a lot of really awful things that Trump is still making him do and he isn’t resigning or speaking up as any ethical prosecutor would.

Note to all elected officials but especially Senators Cornyn and Tillis: stop pretending to care about things/principles you don’t actually care about. You are fooling no one and you just look pathetic.

They still can be reached at the Capitol switchboard to vent your spleen on how corrupt this and every gop is. Don't forget to ask specifically if McConnell is dead too

Trump says he may withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General to past the midterms, betting Republicans keep the Senate while Cornyn and Tillis depart. Mimi Rocah says Trump is going to bat for Blanche because "he found his Roy Cohn," referring to Trump's former lawyer and fixer.

Always great to join my friend and old boss @preetbharara.bsky.social (and @joycevance.bsky.social !) even if it’s to talk about not good things coming out of our old office (no doubt because of washington). You have to call it like it is no matter who it is and no matter how hard it is.

“The judge said subpoenas are the last step, not the first step.” On a new episode of the Insider podcast, @mimirocah1.bsky.social joins @preetbharara.bsky.social and @joycewhitevance.bsky.social to discuss why NY prosecutors withdrew subpoenas issued to NYT reporters:

Peter Carr’s Senate testimony today laid out the danger of Todd Blanche’s firings of career public servants: they corrode independent law enforcement and put politics ahead of the facts and the law.

Opinion | We worked with Todd Blanche. He's already shown he won't keep political interference out of the Justice Department.

Mimi Rocah and Perry A. Carbone: Blanche’s training makes the actions he’s already taken all the more disturbing because he knows that the DOJ should not be used as a tool of personal power.

A judge appointed by Trump has the courage to say that the administration is lying about Jan 6. He disagrees with dismissing cases against violent proud boys. Blanche on the other hand seems just fine with it since it’s his DOJ now. Senators must choose. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

Statement of Abbe Lowell of Lowell & Assoc. and of Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund, counsel for Gov. Lisa Cook, on SCOTUS Win

A weak endorsement & major gaslighting. The idea that Blanche will push back on Trump is laughable. He’s declared his love, loyalty & blessed Trump picking foes to prosecute. If Barr agrees that AG should pushback (as it seems) the whole premise here is false. www.wsj.com/opinion/conf...

He is well-qualified and will run the department as well as anyone could under President Trump.
