Acting AG Todd Blanche faced questions from senators on the handling of the Epstein files and probes of President Trump’s perceived political opponents. Fmr. Ass. U.S. Attorney for the SDNY @mimirocah1.bsky.social, who once worked with Blanche, shares her thoughts. www.ms.now/weekends-wit...

Donald Trump is a loser.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

Blame Tillis..he wanted this ONLY to cover his cowardly sorry ass as an excuse to vote for the pedophile protector.Anyone who votes for a vile POS like Blanche who knows the criminal, ugly things in the Epstein files that the other POS pedo did to those girls should be in prison not the DOJ or WH.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Why does Hegseth film all these military announcements in a dark room with soft lighting wearing tons of makeup?

Survivors deserve an Attorney General who will uncover the truth, not bury it. Todd Blanche led the illegal cover-up of the Epstein files. A vote to confirm him is a vote to reward that cover-up. 🗣️ @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social

ICE nazis murdered a man with a work permit in front of his 3 year old in Maine. The nazis in question:

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

"But if Democratic senators want to stop Blanche—or if, failing that, they at least want to weaken him and the Trump administration’s assault on the rule of law—the Epstein coverup should be their focus." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Authorities say ICE shot and killed a person this morning in Maine. www.wmtw.com/article/signific...

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

He never deleted it.

Some critics of the Trump administration are reacting with horror to revelations that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been serving as the de facto ruler of Venezuela.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

If the Republicans and their mob boss were a real political party, not a criminal enterprise and a protection racket, they would have real policies that serve the voters and not pursuing every trick to deny the voters from voting.

Here's how companies get tax breaks when they replace workers with AI.

Jen is absolutely right. Step up folks. It was an error of judgment. We should have higher standards. Own it. Move on. Find a better candidate.

Under Maine law, Platner would have until 5 PM ET on July 13—a week from today—to withdraw his name and still allow his party to nominate a replacement. Democrats would then have to do so by July 27. legislature.maine.gov/statutes/21-...

When Laura Ingraham was at Dartmouth, she went to a meeting for gay students & wrote down the names of those in attendance & then published them in the school's newspaper. This was at the height of the AIDS crisis when being knows as gay had risks. Laura Ingraham has *always* been an awful person.
