Blanche is easily one of the most unqualified nominees we've ever had for AG, with a list a mile long why. Sadly, this bobbleheaded Senate has confirmed drunk fox news hosts, podcasters, reality stars, wrestlers, TV doctors, and rando billionaires. Why not the president's personal attorney for AG?

@schiff.senate.gov on fire with a litany of reasons not to confirm Blanche. "he will only do what's best for Donald Trump. And you can't leave someone like that as highest federal law enforcement official" Here comes the vote: straight party lines, he's reported out of committee. ugggggghhhhhhhhh

MacFarlane: But Jeanine Pirro has got another concern besides the president's endorsement or his non-endorsement. She has got to keep people working for her. They have had enormous turnover in that office. They were in a staff shortage situation last year.

Anthropic said a misconfiguration allowed Claude to connect to the internet and gain unauthorized access to the companies' systems. The disclosure after rival OpenAI said its model went rogue during a security test hacking the systems of AI firm Hugging Face. Can AI be safely kept under control?

Toddler-in-chief, Felon Trump, seeing his Golden Boy Blanche tanking, threatens to keep the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement and our Capitol. That slush fund is dead from the get-go per a federal judge so Trump is barking up the wrong tree as usual.

The President of the United States repeatedly lying about American citizens and trying to lock them up in a pathetic attempt to cover up a botched renovation of the Reflection Pool that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars should be a much bigger story in the news.

WTF: Megyn Kelly just said that Dr. Anthony Fauci is WORSE than Jeffrey Epstein, claiming: “Fauci hurt a lot more people than Epstein did. A lot more, amazingly.” Her guest, Victor Davis Hanson, immediately agreed, repeatedly declaring: “Millions, millions, millions, millions.” This is MAGA.

Dr Fauci has led a life of dedicated service. Rand Paul, Ophthalmologist, apparently consumed by professional envy and insecurity, conducted a rage-filled, unhinged assault on him for recommending wearing masks during the pandemic. Science got us to the moon. #FauciIsScience !

UN Ambassador Mike Waltz blamed Biden for depleting U.S. weapons stockpiles, then insisted they aren’t depleted after all—while demanding prison for anyone who leaks information about them. It was a masterclass in talking out of both sides of his mouth on Meet the Press.

Sen Adam Schiff (D-CA) applauding delay in Todd Blanche committee vote “People should understand that the president has been able to engage in so much over-the-top corruption because the Senate & the House are not acting as a check on his power the way the Founders contemplated”

BRENNAN: Isn't it going to hurt faith in our election process if a Republican-only policy to change how elections are run is rammed through less than 100 days out from the election? KENNEDY: No

Book Review: In The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton, the author suggests that previous attempts to define fascism have focused too narrowly on ideology and not enough on political strategies and broader social circumstances. This book is excellent. Let's summarize🧵

The cover of the boom shows a woman giving a Nazi style "Roman salute."

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom. GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
