The looming confirmation of Todd Blanche as #USA Attorney General is a travesty, even within the intensely distorted poitical dynamics of #Trump 2.0. The two points of the pincer are: the #Epstein files (he’s breaking the law); the “slush fund” & IRS immunity for Trump (a sham). #fascism #ruleoflaw
Moments to Remember | News@moments2remember.link · 15h agoCory Booker was discussing Todd Blanche’s handling of the Epstein files when MAGA Sen.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 16h agoMacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…
OPINION @joannacoles.bsky.social & @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social. Jeanine Pirro caught in a vicious vice? Despite being such an “abjectly” loyal & sycophantic #Trump myrmidon, even Pirro had to face “factual realities” regarding the Hearn case, earning The Huckster’s ire. youtu.be/3bNbqCdEQBA?...
