A record number of Democrats voted to stop sending more aid to Israel. This didn't happen by accident. It happened because millions of people spoke out, organized, and refused to stay silent. Our movement is making a difference. Keep organizing. Keep building power.

Pete Hegseth just blocked the promotions of seven senior Navy officers — five of whom are women or people of color — to two-star admiral rank. For the first time in more than a decade, no female active-duty naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s rape. www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...

Everyone in the legacy media knows Trump's history and knows that he will spread dangerous lies on Thursday night. They know that they have a choice about whether to cover the speech. Most importantly, they know the danger and the stakes. newsletters.democracydocket.com/-the-media-h...

Booker: Okay, but this is the thing that really bothers me. He’s telling me, “I am concerned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety” But I am not even going to meet with the victims to get them the justice they deserve. It is so disqualifying for this man to have sat there today and said that to me.

President Trump paid 5.6M to a woman that he raped today. He continues as president tomorrow with barely a backpage headline.

Our elections are too important to mess with. But tomorrow, Trump is going to try and create a pretext for massive interference. Buckle up. Follow the facts. Don’t let him stoke hysterics about an election that was audited, investigated, and fair.

Omg. What a psychopath! Hegseth denies flu shots but wants to test testosterone levels! He’s denying women and minorities promotions, firing LGTBQ members, firing battle tested generals and now wants to shoot up male members with testosterone! This isn’t healthcare. He’s experimenting with them.

California is deploying @calfire.bsky.social firefighters to support Oregon's fight against the East Evans Creek Fire. When we've faced similar crises, our northern neighbor has stood with us. Today, we're proud to stand with them.

NYC Bar opposes the nomination of one of its own members, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general, saying he lacks the basic professional integrity that the position demands. A stinging and very detailed assessment. www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

"Somehow Lynch’s presence at the Capitol that fateful day has not been publicly reported until now...In the meantime, Lynch remained at DOJ and, under the second Trump administration, received a big promotion: He’s now running a national task force to prosecute left-wing political violence.

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

"You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. Joe Biden won the 2020 Election. And I don't care what Donald Trump says, what's he going to do? Withdraw my nomination? I don't work for him. I work for the American people." - Said by no Trump nominee ever.

Wow, gender affirming care

HASSAN: If RFK ordered you to stop promoting flu vaccine during a deadly flu season, would you? S: We have to prioritize-- HASSAN: This isn't a hypothetical. RFK Jr in the middle of a deadly outbreak directed the CDC to do it. So would you? S: I don't speak in hypotheticals-- H: It happened!

“‘That is RIDICULOUS,’ one person with knowledge of the planned golf trip said in a message. ‘Pence and Harris never pulled anything like that.’” www.ms.now/news/veeps-s...

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee: It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

All the letters supporting Blanche being entered into the record are from police unions. Insane.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice wants to intervene in a lawsuit to force a massive voter roll purge in California. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WATCH: @durbin.senate.gov points out Jack Smith volunteered to testify but Republicans don’t want him to 🤔 (because they’re afraid of what he’d have to say about Trump trying to overthrow our government)

The networks should not carry Trump’s speech Thursday night. Allowing Trump to platform his election lies would be a betrayal. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

SCHIFF: The president was convicted in a case you represented him in of falsifying business records for tax purposes. Does this settlement not absolve him of any liability for tax crimes associated with what he's been convicted of? BLANCHE: He can't be audited for that SCHIFF: Of course he can be

🚨 Cory Booker SLAM DUNK on Todd Blanche on the independence of the Department of Justice & the failure to redact some of the survivors' names & personal information in the Epstein files. Blanche is Trumps' personal lawyer then still is. Thank you Cory Booker. Keep holding his feet to the fire. 👈

Todd Blanche failed his performance review, and he should not be confirmed as Attorney General.

We're all focused on how badly Todd Blanche misunderstands the job he wants, thinking he's supposed to be the president's personal lawyer instead of the lawyer for all of us. But it's worth noting he also doesn't seem to understand how laws or government actually work.

🚨BREAKING: Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who President Donald Trump tapped for director of national intelligence (DNI), repeatedly declined to clearly state who won the 2020 election during his confirmation hearing Wednesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The man asking to be America's top intelligence officer can't solve a mystery which has 81 million witnesses.

Sir Paul McCartney’s “Hey Jude” performance at The White House gets the Obama family singing on stage. With US politics in a shambles, many of us are looking back on when the world still made sense. If you’re one of those hundreds of thousands of nostalgia-seekers, here's the musical clip for you.

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

Hirono keeps asking Blanche yes or no questions about his own activities -- and Blanche keeps lying

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

Tom Tillis is up. He commends Blanche, then “reclaims” the moral high ground by attacking the Biden administration for “weaponization” against Trump. Then he defends the J6 insurrectionists. He’s rolling over right out of the gate.

Senator Hirono is among the very best interrogators in Congress.

HIRONO asks Blanche whether he rescinded his May 18 order setting up the $1.776B slush fund. Blanche said yes, I'm doing so under oath right now, the fund isn't going forward. She says that's not good enough because he could restart it at anytime. He does not respond.

Hirono pretty effective. Good pace and pressure. Direct questions. & ends w/ litany of sins "Mr Blanche, it is clear to me that...you see nothing wrong w/ Pres treating DOJ as personal law firm to prosecute his enemies and help his friends." goes to fund--recites Williams findings. urges rejection

HIRONO: Do you believe it is the president's right and duty to order the investigation or prosecution of his perceived enemies, yes or no? BLANCHE: I can't answer that yes or no. Under Article 2, he's in charge of the DOJ. My answer reflects that idea.

HIRONO: DOJ has sued 30 states seeking voter lists. 14 of those lawsuits have been resolved. Did any of those 14 judges agree w/DOJ's position? BLANCHE: Yes HIRONO: Pardon? B: The answer to the question is yes H: Actually, that's not correct. The answer is no. Some of them were Trump appointees.

We’re all waiting for Trump ((the stable genius)) to explain how Democrats can rig elections when HE was in control of the government in 2020.

Blanche told the Senate today he’s ‘not celebrating’ the Jan 6 pardons. But at CPAC, he BRAGGED about them as an administration ‘accomplishment’ and boasted he ‘cleaned house’ of the prosecutors who convicted those rioters. Sen. Coons caught the lie on tape. Perjury by contradiction. #BlockBlanche

Meanwhile working families are stretching every dollar just to afford the basics. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Todd Blanche is the worst Attorney General nominee in my lifetime. He’s under investigation by the Bar Association. This confirmation hearing isn’t bearing that out.

Todd Blanche personally REFUSES to meet with the 10 Epstein survivors who are present at his Senate Judiciary hearing within the next 30 days. Instead he wants to punt it to who he claims is the head of the trafficking division. Blanche waffles about notifying the committee if he meets with them.

On Ukrainian Statehood Day, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Olena Zelenska, together with leaders and representatives of Southeast European countries and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, honored the memory of Ukraine’s fallen defenders. Rest in peace and glory, Heroes 🇺🇦🕯️

Ossoff: You've got the American public furious with the president for war and tariffs and health care cuts that are making everything more expensive. So now he's pivoting from ballroom obsession to election conspiracy theory obsession, this is politically disastrous for Republicans in Georgia

Blanche just admitted under oath that Trump is not eligible to run for a third term in 2028.

Whitehouse gives litany of Blanche statements re January 6 offenders. Blanche says it's a lie Whitehouse says we will put it in a question and you will tell me exactly where the lies here Blanche says happy to do that Whitehouse seems to have decided to use first round to set rhetorical stakes.
