Todd Blanche privately told anti-abortion supporters the goal is to make Dobbs "permanent in every state." So much for "leave it to the states." The goal has always been a nationwide abortion ban. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche for Attorney General: 888-380-2711
Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’
The acting attorney general made the remarks during a private call with faith leaders.

That's just to name a few of his crimes. It doesn't include what's in the epstien files. Does anyone really believe he's changed his stripes since being given the White House again? If you do, I have a lovely bridge to sell you, it's right up trump's alley as it's called the GOLDEN gate bridge. .
Just the fact that media calls it a “Weaponization Fund” shows utter failure to meet the moment. It’s like when you call Trump’s budget a “Big Beautiful Bill.” They get you to launder regime propaganda by creating a title that is a false characterization, which gets published.
Blanche’s appointment is a slap in the face to Epstein’s victims.These two men,& the other Repubs who vote to support this shil, are complicit in the crimes they refuse to investigate.They compound the abuse with their dismissive behavior .#Epstein #EpsteinFiles #NotoBlanche #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Boz is sad because Humum has informed him that this is not a chair for shrimp loaves. It is for working humans only. Boz says he ‘s just keeping it warm for recovering human dad. Humum say “Ok, jes no scratching!”#KittyLoafMonday #Cats #TuxedoCats #Photography #Pets #EastCoastKin

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...
DOJ Accidentally Sent Volume II of Jack Smith's Report to Outside Counsel
The kicker? The Outside Counsel they accidentally sent the report to is representing a woman they charged with a crime for taking Volume II out of the DOJ

Before Social Media, Paris Was Already Watching You During the nineteenth century, the modern metropolis became more than a setting in which political, social, and economic change occurred. It emerged as one of modernity’s central structures, subjects, and systems of representation.

Paine asked in Common Sense. “I’ll tell you Friend…so far as we approve of monarchy…in America THE LAW IS KING. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other."

People are focusing on the weaponization fund as if it’s the only problem with Blanche. What about his mishandling of the Epstein Files and his coddling of known sex traffickers and pedophiles? It’s just as big a reason not to confirm! #ToddBlanche #EpsteinFiles

There is not one good reason that this dud should ever be attorney general. These two holdbacks need to grow a spine, leave a better legacy, and just say NO. Republicans struggle for way forward on Blanche AG nomination www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
