Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

That’s almost as crazy as contemplating the idea of a President Hussein Obama! The horror!

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

Q: "What message does it send if Trump fires a U.S. Attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime?" Blanche: "If the president wanted to fire a U.S. Attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that."

The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

This man is AIPAC's worst nightmare

Just like @brianstelter.bsky.social predicted last night - Trump won't fire Pirro; he'll keep her around and torture her for the sin of publicly proving him a liar.

Q: Are you going to keep Jeanine Pirro? Trump: I haven’t made a decision.

This man might go to prison for allegedly wiping his phone before DHS officials could search it. No warrant for the phone, no specific claim of what 'evidence' might be on it. But he used a duress/wipe password, leading to the charge Watch more and subscribe here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmik...

Epstein Survivors Say Republicans Ghosted Them Before Blanche Vote

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse say they were stood up after having scheduled a meeting to speak about Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”

This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

It’s a sad day for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sen. Blumenthal on Blanche’s rescission of anti-weaponization fund: “This document itself is a sham...Blanche himself says that that agreement is an enforceable document…Tomorrow Donald Trump’s counsel can go to court and seek to establish that trust fund, that thug fund…if he chooses to do so.”

This seems very highly suboptimal. www.reuters.com/world/us-has...

Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

43-time Club Champion.

Sen. Booker: “Todd Blanche, at the highest heights of our Justice Department, ran to the prison of Ghislaine Maxwell…and met with her for 2 days, insulting every single Epstein victim that had been asking for a meeting for years.”

What is Congress for?

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

I Remember, Hope you do….

PROUD to run this: The AG must be someone who treats survivors with dignity, follows the facts wherever they lead, and understands that justice cannot be subordinate to political fealty. Blanche demonstrated in that meeting with survivors that he is not that person open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Todd Blanche Failed Epstein Survivors Again

His behavior in a hastily arranged meeting with brave women seeking justice underscored his unsuitability for the attorney general role he desperately wants.

With Trump telling Big Oil to lower prices, just a reminder… …his own Energy secretary understands that Wall Street sets the price. Which is thanks to a loophole Trump won’t close.

Gas Prices Really Are Trump's Fault, Just Not for the Reason People Think

Energy Secretary Wright blamed traders for the oil spike, but didn't address why they're able to cause price spikes
