Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and one of the chief architects of the Epstein cover-up, Todd Blanche, to be Attorney General. They are the ultimate enablers of Donald Trump’s corruption. Americans will respond accordingly in November.

If only there was extensive reporting contradicting David Ellison’s op-ed. Oh wait…

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · yesterday

David Ellison defended his deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery in a op-ed in the New York Times, claiming that Democratic state attorneys general are fighting him in court because of false perceptions about his politics and stewardship of news organizations.

Trump’s Reflecting Pool debacle is so unbelievably stupid it would be funny—except American taxpayers are paying for it. Americans want lower costs, an end to the Iran war, an end to the constant corruption. Not millions in tax dollars for more of his vanity projects.

Trump is planning to gut Head Start—a devastating blow to our most vulnerable families. That means no math or literacy requirements, no health & safety screenings, no guarantee children can access medical services. He doesn't give a damn. He thinks the government exists to serve only him.

According to the Senate GOP: Todd Blanche became a different person somewhere between the confirmation hearing and today’s vote. He remains Trump’s personal lawyer. Same client. Same corruption. Same playbook. Nothing has changed. He has no business becoming Attorney General.

Senate Democrats have been clear: We want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, and pass strong funding bills. We will keep fighting for a budget that delivers for the American people and thwarts Trump’s corrupt, costly, chaotic agenda that is stretching Americans thin.

Todd Blanche has spent his career enabling Trump's corruption and he has no intention of stopping.

If this were the CEO of a private company, they could face jail time. But for Trump? Just another Monday. He is the most corrupt president in our nation’s history. Democrats will hold him accountable for this and so much more.

The president's media company is offering investors early access to his Truth Social feed for up to $100,000 a month. Experts say the service may violate insider trading laws.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is a gift to his Big Oil friends who bankrolled his campaign with the promise of raking in profits. Turns out it's the one promise he actually delivered on. Meanwhile, Americans are paying over $4 per gallon at the gas pump and suffering from rising energy costs.

While Americans struggle with rising gas prices and inflation, big oil is making billions from the Iran War. Oil industry profits have more than doubled in just a year, reaching their third highest level in history.

Trump is making Americans less safe with his war in Iran. Hundreds of servicemembers injured, 18 dead, skyrocketing prices—now cyberattacks on the Homeland. The GOP needs to stand up to this lunacy and work with us to end this dangerous and unnecessary war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

Trump wants to spend $2 billion in taxpayer dollars on payoffs for his MAGA followers—all while instituting the biggest health care cuts in history. Give me a break. We will not let it happen.

Trump on the weaponization fund: "It's dead, but I wish it weren't"

No. This is a bald faced lie. Trump cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still hasn’t nominated a permanent director for it. Trump is grossly incompetent. He is responsible.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Donald Trump’s rampant corruption and brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer must be stopped. Unprecedented corruption calls for unprecedented legislation to fight back—that’s why I introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act yesterday.

Today, Senate Democrats forced our 13TH vote on ending Donald Trump’s illegal Iran war. Senate Republicans, as afraid of Trump as ever, were nowhere to be found. Our troops are in danger, our costs are through the roof, and Donald Trump and Republicans simply do not care.

NEWS: I'm introducing the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act Unprecedented corruption by Donald Trump and his sycophants requires unprecedented legislation to fight back and hold them accountable.

Trump's war with Iran has been one of the greatest foreign policy dumpster fires in American history, and it seems to be expanding with new attacks now targeting Egypt.

Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of our country He has filled the swamp to the brim while selling out Americans to the highest bidder Senate Democrats will be exposing, investigating, and holding him accountable for his brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer

61 years of Medicare and Medicaid, the backbone of our healthcare system for tens of millions of Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to rip it all away. I will continue to lead Senate Democrats in fighting them every step of the way:

As costs skyrocket and our servicemembers remain in danger… Republicans want to take away more of the benefits you earned.

The Trump Presidency is a complete and total disaster.

Trump is DOUBLING prescription drug prices for millions of seniors with his cuts to Medicare drug plans. We’re talking about seniors rationing life-saving drugs and skipping meals to afford their medication. It's disgusting. This is Trump’s America.

Our servicemembers are facing down barrage after barrage of Iranian missiles and drones while Trump twiddles his thumbs. Posting lies and brushing casualties under the rug won't stop the missiles from flying or get our troops out of harm's way. Bring our troops home. End the war.

Trump knows he can’t defend the crippling costs, the rampant corruption coming out of his administration, or the unrelenting chaos he’s unleashed in our streets. And he knows he can’t defend himself from Americans’ wrath at the ballot box in November either.

Instead of standing with Ukraine, Trump has tried and failed to pander to Russia. Today, the Senate will vote to establish significant new sanctions to truly cripple the Russian war effort.

Trump going to Michigan to tout his economic record is like an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime and asking for a pat on the back Maybe he can brag about how Michiganders are paying $4.23/gallon of gas, or the 75K manufacturing jobs he’s killed That’s your record, Donald Trump. Own it.
