If Todd Blanche, the former personal lawyer of a man convicted of 34 felonies for financial fraud is confirmed as United States Attorney General, the Department of Justice needs to update its logo. REPOST if you second the motion!

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

Did you know that according to the 2020 census the actual percentage is 50.9 percent women.🤔 In congress its 28 percent. Only women have different rights depending on the state. Women are underrepresented and over regulated. Equal rights for everyone takes away no rights away, it's not like pie.

Max Miller: When I was reported for child abuse, for my daughter, for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days, and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
