Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

BREAKING: The Justice Department. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee just moved Trump lackey Todd Blanche's nomination to a full Senate vote. If confirmed Blanche will be corrupt, toadying, & focused on the defense of Trump. The Senate must reject Blanche for AG.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Todd Blanche is Donald Trump's personal criminal defense lawyer—who continues to do the bidding of the convicted FELON in the Oval Office—rather than uphold the rule of law for the American people. He has no business serving as Attorney General. The Senate should reject his nomination outright.

“The attacks on the Department are unprecedented.” Stacey Young tells @ms.now why more than 1,200 DOJ alumni have taken the extraordinary step of opposing Todd Blanche after watching him weaponize the Department, purge career officials and destroy its independence.

Jess Michaels speaking directly to Senator Tillis: “Mr. Tillis. That was not a meeting. And I am going to guess that you care about this issue very much… So please do not confirm that man to be Attorney General of this country until we actually get to a place that is genuinely productive.”
