Remember every politician who promised to “protect Medicare.” Then look at the policies they’re backing. The receipts matter. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

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.
Todd Blanche rescinded the corrupt $1.776B “Anti-Weaponization Fund” only after his confirmation was threatened, while extraordinary tax protections for Trump remain largely intact. These last-minute assurances are a farce. The Senate must reject his nomination. Read: L4GG.org/RejectBlanche
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 ... "
🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

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.
This is the Judiciary committee. We are supposed to be checking and balancing this nation. We are surrendering our integrity. @CoryBooker #blockblanche A known tax cheat will now have tax immunity. We should have stood in the way. www.judiciary.senate.gov/committee-ac...

“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.
Todd Blanche is Trump’s Epstein fixer, and he should not be confirmed as our Attorney General.
The reasons for the Senate Judiciary Committee’s postponement of a vote on Todd lanche’s nomination for Attorney General help explain why all senators, regardless of party affiliation, should reject the nomination. #BlockBlanche www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...

TODAY nationwide there are hundreds of vigils calling for accountability and an end to ICE killing with impunity. Thank you @erikaandiola.bsky.social and others for leading the charge. Justice for Lorzenzo. Justice for Johan. Justice for all. Find an event near you. IceOutJusticeNow.org
Corruption isn’t a victimless crime. It means higher costs, weaker accountability, and a government that serves insiders instead of the public. That’s the #RepublicanCostOfCorruption
Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct
Freedom isn't free—but voting should be. #PayToVoteSaveAct

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.”
The biggest election hoax was convincing millions the results weren’t real. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies
If exercising your constitutional right depends on having the right documents, then for many Americans it’s no longer a right—it’s a barrier. A democracy should make voting easier, not harder. #SAVEActIsPayToVote
If a Democratic president had reported making over $1 billion from crypto while in office, it would dominate every headline. Standards shouldn’t depend on party. Repost if you think ethics should apply to everyone. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption
When Congress finally agrees on something to help address America’s housing shortage, the president should not stand in the way. Families cannot afford more delays. #SaveHousingFromTrump

Republicans and Democrats came together on a housing bill. Trump chose division over solutions. While families worry about paying the mortgage, Trump is worried about rigging the midterms. #TrumpsHousingCrisis
Trump cancels signing of bipartisan bill to make housing more affordable, continues to spend your tax dollars adding a ballroom to his own house.
They say there’s no money to feed hungry kids. Then they turn around and fight for tax giveaways for corporations and the ultra-rich. The problem isn’t a lack of resources. It’s a lack of priorities. #RepublicansStarveChildren
