Trump is out of touch with reality and operating the White House like an extension of Mar-a-Lago. @repshontelbrown.bsky.social and Oversight Dems will get answers.

There are alarming reports that the DOD has tried to cover up the human cost of Trump’s war with Iran, removing American servicemembers from casualty counts.
BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination. Blanche has been the architect of the White House’s Epstein cover-up — and to be clear: he’s working for Donald Trump, not the American people.
Survivors have been on Capitol Hill for months, courageously sharing their stories and demanding accountability. The Senate must listen. Todd Blanche is unfit to serve as our next Attorney General. Every Senator should vote NO.
Senate Judiciary Republicans advance Trump's personal lawyer without actually eliminating the $1.8b insurrectionist slush fund. The full Senate should listen to survivors and REJECT his nomination.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · yesterdayBREAKING: The nomination of Trump's former personal lawyer to be Attorney General just advanced to the full Senate. Judiciary Republicans caved: All 12 Republicans voted in favor of Todd Blanche. All 10 Democrats voted against.
Black history is American history! And, we will keep fighting to make sure the Smithsonian and National Museum of African American History and Culture are there to tell these stories. Grateful for Rep. Mfume’s powerful testimony in our hearing last week! 🙏 youtu.be/2mPyT1PriEs

Reminder: Todd Blanche has… -Weaponized the DOJ to persecute Trump’s political foes -Purged hundreds of career DOJ lawyers -Botched the release of the Epstein files and ignored victims’ wishes He can’t be trusted and has no business being Attorney General. The Senate must reject him.
Even after Todd Blanche claimed it was dead, Trump continues to defend his insurrectionist slush fund.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump claims his taxpayer-funded insurrectionist slush fund "happens to be very popular among many quarters ... so I view that fund as a positive"
WATCH: Elie Honig SLAMS Blanche's mishandling of the Epstein Files. "That's squarely on him. His mistreatment of the victims of Epstein, that's squarely on him."
WOW. New reporting reveals that after Epstein survivors met with Todd Blanche, it was clear he hadn't even read the Epstein Files. He is unfit to be Attorney General.
Meredith O’Rourke raised hundreds of millions of dollars from corporations for Trump’s pet projects. Last week, @wsj.com released new reporting showing the extent to which she has facilitated these pay-to-play schemes. This is blatant corruption and Oversight Dems will get answers.
ICE agents are untrained, unqualified, and killing people on the streets. Oversight Dems will investigate every failure that led to these tragedies and hold agents and their leadership accountable.
Todd Blanche helped lead the Trump Administration's Epstein cover-up. That's exactly why he shouldn't be confirmed as Attorney General. He has blocked the release of documents Congress required to be made public, and acted like Donald Trump's lawyer—not the lawyer for the American people.
Lawyer for Epstein survivors SLAMS Todd Blanche's mishandling of the files: "To say that the Department of Justice failed in their release of Epstein files would be an understatement. I mean, this almost appeared as a deliberate obstruction of justice.”
Everyone knows that Todd Blanche is crooked. ⬇️
Ranking Member GARCIA: When you look at the weaponization fund, you're talking about paying the people that tried that tried to overthrow an election… And there's no guarantee that this weaponization fund is actually dead. The reality is that we're not sure if Trump is going to try to bring it back.
You can't claim to stand with survivors while ignoring them. Todd Blanche did exactly that for months. And when he finally met with them, he dismissed their concerns. The Senate should not confirm him as AG.
Todd Blanche has refused to release the Epstein files while continuing to shield abusers and pedophiles. Oversight Dems are united in calling on the Senate to REJECT his nomination for Attorney General.
Republicans pulled Blanche’s confirmation because he is too corrupt and untrustworthy to get enough votes. From running the Epstein files cover-up to orchestrating a $1.8b slush fund, he is not qualified to run the DOJ. We won't stop fighting until Trump withdraws his nomination.
Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 7d agoALERT: Senate Judicary Committee postpones tomorrow’s vote on Todd Blanche Troubling sign for nomination
Republicans were forced to postpone Todd Blanche’s confirmation because they knew he was too corrupt to get the votes. He went from being Trump's personal lawyer to running the Epstein files cover-up. We will not stop fighting until Donald Trump withdraws his nomination.
"You couldn't find a better person," which is why Blanche met with Trump’s top advisors in the situation room about the Epstein Files and got Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a minimum-security prison camp.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 7d agoQ: "On Todd Blanche, Senator John Cornyn of Texas has been hesitant to back the confirmation…What is your reaction to his hesitancy?" Trump: "Well, all I can say is Todd Blanche is outstanding...You couldn't find a better person...Maybe John Cornyn is upset with me because I didn't endorse him."
Wish Republicans had this kind of energy when it came to the Epstein files.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
Todd Blanche has put survivors in danger by exposing their private information and still refuses to fully release the Epstein Files. His nomination to be AG must be rejected.
LISTEN to survivors describe their meeting with Todd Blanche: "Very condescending" "A lot of talking in circles… arguing semantics" "He actually said the words: 'Get to the point.'"
BREAKING: "At this moment, Todd Blanche does not yet have enough support to become Trump's attorney general." It's not that Todd Blanche can't release the remaining Epstein files or commit to ending the "weaponization" slush fund — he just won't. He has repeatedly chosen not to.
After months of asking, Epstein survivors finally met with Todd Blanche. But they left feeling disregarded, unheard, and that the meeting was only to advance his confirmation vote. Blanche doesn’t care about survivors and the Senate must reject his nomination.
Donald Trump's friends and donors are getting shady contracts to destroy America's monuments. From the ballroom to the Reflecting Pool, Oversight Democrats will hold this Administration accountable for wasting taxpayer dollars on failed vanity projects.
The Trump White House held a Situation Room meeting to plan the cover up of the Epstein files. This administration promised transparency. Instead, they're still withholding and redacting files. The cover-up must end. Release the files.
