ICE set a record in July. 51,000 arrests. Yet…we watch the biggest criminal in US history…walk around unscathed.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.

You know who has the most wind turbines in the U.S.? Texas. Then Iowa. And you know who has even more? China. You think they’re “losers” for having a cheap, clean, reliable, domestic source of energy? 🙄

This confirms how committed Corrupt Trump and Weasel Blanche are to defending their cop-beaters’ slush fund and Trump tax fraud amnesty. Should be easy to reassure those two senators, if Blanche were sincere about what’s dead.

Breaking news: President Trump suggests he could withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, until GOP holdouts leave Senate.

Trump dropped Lindsey Graham's phone number AGAIN during his eulogy. Who wants to give it a shot?

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination rather than give up provisions shielding him from IRS audits and giving away billions in taxpayer funds to insurrectionists and fraudsters

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

Have you noticed the tributes to Lindsey Graham don't cite any actual legislative accomplishments that benefited his constituents? It's a lot of "he was a strong voice" & "got along with everyone"- generic stuff you could say about anyone. His actual legacy is fluffing Trump & reckless war-mongering

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

Again: Where are the calls for Miller to resign from all the folks who had thoughts about Platner? They’ve known all along.

“Ms. Moreno, the daughter of Senator Moreno ... has said that Mr. Miller scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder. ...

Dozens of Epstein survivors “met” with Todd Blanche. Blanche treated them terribly, showing zero remorse for how his botched Epstein Files release traumatized them. “Blanche’s willingness to sit in a room with us should not matter more than how he treated us once he was there.”

Todd Blanche spent nine hours handholding convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. He spent one hour interrupting and gaslighting survivors.

Mark Kelly: "He's stuck. He doesn't know what to do. This is a guy who in his last term said he knows more than the admirals and generals. His high school military education certainly did not prepare him to be the commander in chief."

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

Ballou: Based on reporting, Larry and David Ellison, talked about transforming CNN and potentially even firing anchors the president didn’t like. Once that happened, the regulatory barriers melted away. When you’re talking about giving a private benefit in exchange for a public act, that’s bribery.

Sen. DURBIN: I remember Republicans claiming a chance meeting on the tarmac between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch was ‘collusion.’ But they express no concern JD Vance is leading sessions with Todd Blanche and Kash Patel to protect Donald Trump from the Epstein scandal.

Khanna: Katie Phang brought a lawsuit under the original Epstein transparency act, and the judge has ruled that Todd Blanche needs to release the remaining files. And he has been in defiance of already a federal judge's order
