He’s retiring, he’s leaving office, and yet @SenThomTillis looks like he still can’t bring himself to do the right thing. Tell me again my former political party will ever fix itself?

The thing about basing the political culture of your movement around baseless conspiracy theories is that you run the risk that your followers will fall for conspiracy theories about YOU.

Kash Patel uses government jets to attend concerts and sporting events. JD Vance asked that a $16,000+/hour helicopter take his young son to a golf lesson. These people are supposed to SERVE this country, not treat it like a personal luxury for their own frivolous use.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky and Liz Oyer, a former U.S. pardon attorney who was fired by Todd Blanche, will be witnesses at day two of confirmation hearings tomorrow

He should just appoint someone.

This is heartbreaking and absolutely did not need to happen. Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero should still be alive. 💔 www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/i...

Oh, my. 🤭😅🤣🤣

Have the networks said whether they are going to provide Trump prime time on Thursday to lie about elections?

Hey @realdonaldtrump your boy JD just admitted you blew it on the Epstein files. Is “We Fucked up” the official new White House position on this?

Todd Blanche should not be confirmed as Attorney General. He should be disbarred and prosecuted. I explain it all: youtu.be/LVjTTyW5xXk?...

HASSAN: If confirmed, you would be at the top of the chain of command for vaccine recommendations to the public. Do you agree? SCHWARTZ: I could be wrong, but the secretary ultimately has the policy decision HASSAN: No. The buck stops with the CDC director.

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.

SANDERS: The CDC director was fired for failing to approve Sec. Kennedy's anti-vaccine agenda. If confirmed, will you report to Congress if you receive directives to implement unscientific and harmful policies? SCHWARTZ: I do not believe the president or secretary would do that SANDERS: Really?

NEW: Maricopa County officials reached a settlement Tuesday, ending a yearlong fight over control of elections in Arizona’s most populous county. The agreement gives Recorder Justin Heap broad authority over early voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please…one day…someone ask Blanche, “What, specifically, do you admire most about people who have sex with children?”

WELCH: Is there was a dispute involving Paramount, would you have a DOJ lawyer who owned $9 million in stock negotiate on behalf of the government? BLANCHE: It depends. As long as there's no conflict ...

MAGA believes the Reflecting Pool was destroyed by invisible vandals, not Trump's motorcade—even though we have pictures of tire tracks in the freshly laid sealant. MAGA believes the 2020 election was stolen—even though there is ZERO evidence of this. These are not people tethered to reality.

Embarrassing. Embarrassing for him. Embarrassing for the legal profession. Embarrassing for the Justice Department. Embarrassing for his former law partners (who have been embarrassed more than they deserve lately). Embarrassing for his family. And embarrassing for the country.

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)

Oh, look! The wildly corrupt Trump administration, which doesn't care about the working class, came up with *another* way to take money out of the pockets of ordinary Americans struggling to get by and funneling it to the rich corporations that bribe Donald.

WATCH: Trump’s slimy personal attorney/A.G. Pick/Epstein Cover-Up Quarterback Todd Blanche Squirms when @durbin.senate.gov tries to get him to commit to meet with Epstein survivors in the room So he can personally meet with Ghislaine but not the survivors?🤔 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/Da0W0lK...

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

score one for me

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.

Quote of the day: “I am his lawyer.” ~ Todd Blanche, Attorney General nominee

🔥🔥🔥🔥

KELLY: Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election? CLAYTON: ... I really ... Uhm ... I don't want to continue to debate about this, but I believe he had the most electoral votes KELLY: So he won the election? C: ... hahehe K: Trump isn't even in the room today

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social.

Susan Collins faces political liability. PAXIS says: The victim was not the person agents sought. Masked agents, unmarked cars, no body cameras, hallmarks of a gang trying to carjack you. Collins funded ICE. Maine voters are linking her to a killing with no accountability. GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

BENNET: Did anybody in DC suggest to you or anybody on your team that you should issue subpoenas in this case following the AP reporting of the president coming back on a plane that was unsuitable for the protection of the president? CLAYTON: I'm not going to get into the details

Update: We are nearly 2 hours into Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing and he has yet to mention the Dow. Right now, the Dow is over 50 thou.

When asked by Sen. Coons if the DOJ is independent, Blanche FAILS TO ANSWER "yes".

🔥 MUST-WATCH: “This country deserves an attorney general that ‘loves’ the constitution more than the president.” @durbin.senate.gov lays out Trump personal attorney Todd Blanche’s insane laundry list of corruption.

Senator Coons: If you're asked to take illegal or unethical action, would you resign? Blanche: “That’s never going to happen” 😳

Todd Blanche is a failed acting Attorney General. He steadfastly has represented the interests of the president of the United States. He has NOT represented the interests of the American people. Indeed, he has VICTIMIZED the American people, first among them, the Epstein victims/survivors.

COONS: Is President Trump, just as a simple matter of constitutional law, eligible to run for another term as president in 2028? BLANCHE: I don't believe he is

COONS: Is the Department of Justice that you're running independent from the White House? BLANCHE: The Department of Justice, like every single department of the executive, is part of the executive

🤞 🤞🤞🤞

Coons points out that while Blanche claimed during this hearing that he's "not celebrating" Trump's pardons of violent January 6 insurrectionists, during a conservative event he sang a very different tune and praised Trump for the pardons

"We will never not talk to victims" -Todd Blanche

Sen. WHITEHOUSE: How long do you intend to put up with Kash Patel? Are you good with his airplane jaunts, confident he’s not drinking on the job, sure he knows what he’s doing? Blanche: I have full faith in Director Patel. Whitehouse: Great. You get to own that.

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: ...

KING: Is there a problem w/ voter fraud? CLAYTON: I don't think we can say K: We've had hundreds of analyses C: I would love for Americans to have incredible confidence in the integrity of our elections K: I would too & I'd appreciate it if this admin would cease undermining that confidence

Go fucking off Sen Ossoff (D-GA) ‘Trump was humiliated and furious as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat in 2020.’ No lies detected. This man is Presidential material. Damn💥🔥💥

She sucks
