If trying to set up a slush fund for Trump’s extremist supporters and helping him cover up his ties to Jeffrey Epstein weren’t enough, Todd Blanche promising to make Dobbs "permanent in every single state" is disqualifying. Period.
Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’

“This unlawful seven-figure payout to an anti-abortion extremist is all the proof the Senate should need that the so-called anti-weaponization slush fund is far from dead,” Katie O’Connor at the National Women’s Law Center told Jezebel in a statement www.jezebel.com/slush-fund-n...

Todd Blanche has spent years as Trump's personal lawyer. If he's confirmed as attorney general, he will continue to undermine the independence of the DOJ and use it to go after Trump's enemies. We can't let that happen. Tell your senators to vote no on his confirmation NOW:

President Trump has nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General (AG) of the United States. If confirmed, Blanche's extreme loyalty to Trump over the Constitution will shape the Department of Justice (DOJ) for years to come.

Dr. Evonne Kaho describes her motivation to speak out after surviving workplace sexual assault: "Because someone else—maybe another Black trans woman in a state that doesn’t see her, much less believe her—might come across my words and know that they are not alone. That is worth everything."
The Trump administration is once again weaponizing the gov't to make immigrants afraid to seek health care & other federal programs. This new rule sows fear & chaos to ultimately reshape America into a country where only the few who are white and ultra-wealthy are welcome.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, and our message is clear: PAY BLACK WOMEN. Black women working full-time, year-round are paid only 65 cents for every dollar white men are paid & face a wage gap in basically every occupation. That gap costs them more than a million dollars throughout their lives.

The Dangerous Overlap Between Incel Culture and Trad Wife Politics - National Women's Law Center
When people hear the words “incels” and “trad wives,” they might think of very different images. While “incels” are thought of as lonely, radicalized, or dangerous, “trad wives” might invoke associations with being soft, natural, or motherly. But despite these differences in how they’re perceived culturally, these communities may not be quite as far apart […]

Autonomy News@autonomynews.co · 3w agoICYMI yesterday: Under questioning from Ted Cruz, acting AG Todd Blanche said he’d review Biden-era DOJ guidance that greenlit the mailing of abortion pills. This could upend access to abortion in all 50 states.
These headlines may read like Onion articles, but the real-life impact of Hegseth's "leadership" is that women, trans people, and people of color are being fired, pulled off promotion lists, and losing what little access to reproductive health care they had. He's a threat to every person who serves.
Attacking our autonomy and access to reproductive care is not a bargaining chip to be used in exchange for Senate confirmation votes. The facts: Mifepristone is incredibly safe and effective—and is CRITICAL for abortion access in a post-Dobbs America. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Title IX turns 54 today. For decades, it has helped break down barriers based on discrimination & expanded opportunities for ALL students, especially women and girls. But Trump and his allies are trying to distort the law into a tool for exclusion.
