Seems like it's going to be a good old family feud. Moreno calls him an abuser and out of control. Miller says he's only saying that because Moreno wants to deflect about the "gay rumours". Fuck
Pretty convenient that Trump gets immunity from IRS audits for the year where he made, by far, the most money of his entire life in shady deals all over the globe. His should get a special “Trust me, bro” tax form from the IRS to submit.
John Cornyn & Thom Tillis issue a joint statement announcing they will support Todd Blanche for AG. He's now in good position to clear the Judiciary Committee tomorrow and head to the full Senate.
“If the Senate voted on this fund today there would be almost 60 votes to kill it, maybe 70.” @eschor.bsky.social explains that while it may only be GOP Sens. Cornyn and Tillis publicly pushing back on Trump so-called “anti-weaponization” fund, “they’re speaking for a lot of colleagues.”
Blanche’s appeasement is hollow. Trump still gets immunity from tax audits worth $100 million. And last week’s payout to abortion clinic blocker shows the path to payouts to rewrite history will be individual settlements instead of one designated fund. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
Blanche Gives G.O.P. Senators Written Assurances on Trump’s I.R.S. Deal (Gift Article)
Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general has been held up over concerns about a planned $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies and the president’s immunity from tax scrutiny.

🚨NEW: Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund—but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact. Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/

BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.
Reuter got this story wrong… It’s not mislabeled countries. None of those blobs are the shape or location of any actual African nation. It’s entirely AI slop! What a joke! www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."
Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"
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.
