Did Blanche and Trump Quietly Pursue a Quid Pro Quo for Murkowski's Vote?
Now that Todd Blanche has cleared the committee, his nomination depends on a narrowly divided Senate, where a single Republican vote could decide the outcome.

That repulsive creep thinks that's a winning formula in Minnesota?? Burned to a crisp is my prediction.

You don't get to commit crimes to protesting" "I know a guy, I have an advantage over everyone up here. I can call up and work with the president of the United States"

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
The Golden State's self appointed “rivals” had the largest increases in job losses. Texas was #1 — up 108,000 Florida was #2 — up 79,000 Meanwhile, fewer Californians are out of work!
It doesn't matter how many abortions Trump paid for. He governs by hate. He hates women having rights and control over their own bodies. Blanche will help him execute his hateful, greedy plans.

“Last year, after Trump ordered US forces to strike small boats in the Caribbean that he claimed were trafficking drugs, Wicker and Democratic Senator Jack Reed requested that Hegseth clarify the legal basis for mandating the strikes” www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...
Why are US Republicans losing faith in War Secretary Pete Hegseth?
The reasons for dissent are not unanimous, ranging from the war in Iran to an overhaul of military leadership.

I thought Hegseth bragging about not washing his hands was bad.

Just so everyone knows, by confirming Todd Blanche, this means that Trump can become a full-blown dictator. GOP Congress has said they will do absolutely nothing to stop Trump. Todd Blanche says he will do anything that Trump asks. The 6-3 Supreme Court is corrupt. All we have left are lower courts.
#GA Did you know that Jon Ossoff spent years exposing corruption as an investigative journalist? Now in the Senate, he refuses corporate PAC money & is leading the fight to ban stock trading by members of Congress. When you don't take checks from special interests, you're free to work for families.

Whereas I'm seeing green bananas and thinking "oh damn I want those now, those look good!" ...seriously, this isn't a bit, I like bananas more on the green side, it adds a little sharper sourness. Under-ripe is way better than overripe for bananas, at least for me.
