Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.
Fun fact: "Mini Bean" is actually the same size as one in Chicago. It just looks smaller compared to NYC.
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
