Jess Michaels speaking directly to Senator Tillis: “Mr. Tillis. That was not a meeting. And I am going to guess that you care about this issue very much… So please do not confirm that man to be Attorney General of this country until we actually get to a place that is genuinely productive.”

Here we go. Put up or shut up time for Tillis.

This this this this THIS!

After #Medicaid officials improperly shared data about millions of people in January with immigration officials, ICE then shared that data with the data analytics firm Palantir, according to new court filings.

Survivor Lara Blume McGee issued the following statement after the meeting with Blanche:

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

John Cornyn notes: Todd Blanche has refused to put on paper his claims that the Trump slush fund is dead. He adds: Trump, as plaintiff, has also not signed a document saying it is dead.

Kennedy: Are you and President Trump friends? Blanche: I'm his lawyer—was his lawyer

This filing is impt! Blanche stands in committee today trying to defend the slush fund, his Epstein failures, and his actions as Trump’s personal fixer. Hearing at 9! He must not be confirmed.

NYC Bar files opposition to Blanche ahead of his hearing: “The City Bar’s analysis addresses five areas: politically motivated prosecutions, violations of constitutional rights and court orders, misplaced loyalty to the President, the weakening of the DOJ, and questions of professional ethics.”

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. “Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

As you fork over all your money at the gas station, Trump’s signature will be on the bills, and his face will be on the coins in your couch cushions — just as a reminder of who is responsible.

A common theme of Trump’s first term that lawyers at DOJ would explain to Trump why he blatantly can’t do something he wants to do. That doesn’t happen anymore, Blanche will do everything he can do make Trump’s corrupt dreams into reality. Every GOP Senator who votes for Blanche will own it forever.

“To fix it [low morale], SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano has twice sent staff packages of chocolate-covered pretzels. They’re from his daughter’s company, Pretzables, emblazoned with Pretzable’s branding, website and phone number, as well as a line thanking employees for their work.” 😳

While you have been pinching pennies to afford Trump’s gas prices, he and his nominee for Attorney General have been corruptly use the courts to create a $1.8B slush fund for January 6 criminals.

BREAKING: huge victory for our 35 judges in the slush fund case *Knocks out any legal basis for the $1.8B *Also undermines the accompanying settlements *And opens the way to ethics & financial SANCTIONS H/t to cocounsel @democracydefendersaction.org, Platkin LLP & Susman Godfrey

Are Senate Republicans really going to confirm Todd Blanche when he just got referred for sanctions for his crooked January 6 slush fund? Really??? “Williams referred a ​Trump lawyer in the case and senior ​Justice Department officials who signed off on the settlement ‌to ⁠state bar authorities...”

Wow.

Federal judge makes plain what we all know: Trump’s “settlement” with Todd Blanche involving the $2B slush fund and family IRS immunity was corrupt bulls*** and throws the whole thing in the trash heap. If that’s not disqualifying for Blanche as Attorney General, nothing is.

Trump’s billionaire boys want to hoard all scientific breakthroughs for their own profit. Of course it’s shortsighted since most of them have exploited publicly funded research for their billions, but their egos prevent them from crediting anybody but themselves for their success.

Elias Law Group has defeated DOJ lawsuits to access state voter files in: California Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Wisconsin DOJ has not won a single case. It is 0-12.

Just days after John Roberts let MAGA #SCOTUS gave Trump autocrat like power to fire officials of federal agencies except for the Fed Reserve ...

No money for 770,000 hungry kids who need food assistance, but endless money for government contracts going to Trump’s kids.

NEW: As acting attorney general and deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche has repeatedly elevated the president’s interests over the DOJ’s and the American people’s. Every senator should reject his nomination. We just sent them a letter saying so.

I’m proud to have joined over 1,000 other former Department of Justice attorneys and officials in signing this letter urging the Senate not to confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General. www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

Having your corrupt autocrat president cash in on his corrupt relationship with the FIFA president to change the rules is just a bad headspace to play in. It’s the opposite of what this country is supposed to stand for. Every player knew it, bad initial call notwithstanding.

Two weeks ago a federal judge torched Todd Blanche for his continued cover-up of the Epstein files, demanding he turn over more files and saying “The Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act.” Today Blanche told the judge to stuff it.

Costs are now rising too fast for paychecks to keep up, but on the other hand Trump’s taxpayer-funded ballroom will have a helipad so he doesn’t have to walk on soggy grass anymore.

There’s a simple choice on Social Security coming, during what would be Senator Husted’s next term, between raising revenue from the wealthy or cutting benefits. Husted chooses cutting benefits for everyone. Ohio voters take note in November.

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

Damn. Looks like Hegseth killed a guy. There is a direct, straight line from his policy decision to the service member's death.

Trump, who is still refusing to sign a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs, is flying off on a billion dollar plane given to him by a foreign nation and refurbished at our expense.

I have yet to see reporting on whether Usha Vance’s parents were citizens when she was born. Her parents came to the U.S. in the late 1970s and she was born in 1986 so it’s entirely possible that JD Vance’s own wife benefited from birthright citizenship.

We have quite simply never seen corruption as massive and utterly out in the open by a US President and his family. There is no precedent for this level of public theft and self enrichment.

With inflation continuing to rise, lots of Americans are looking at side hustles to stay afloat — like getting their father to give them billion dollar mining contracts in Kazakhstan.

OBAMACARE ENROLLEE: ahahaha I have decided to scam the government by paying thousands upon thousands to an insurance company and receiving nothing in return. But will Dr. Pillhawker see through my evil plans?

This was by design of course. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

This golf course thing is beyond insane.

Liz Oyer is really excellent here, on just HOW corrupt Todd Blanche’s conduct as Deputy AG has been with respect to Ghislaine Maxwell and the Bureau of Prisons and the Jeffrey Epstein coverup, and to running the Justice Department more broadly. www.youtube.com/live/smZkyrH...

Corruption may be rampant, and costs may be out of control, but at least Trump is bringing back manufacturing jobs?

Every GOP Senator on the ballot — looking at you Susan Collins, Jon Husted, and Dan Sullivan — can look forward to ads featuring their support for this guy if they vote to confirm:

The Iran war is making everything more expensive. Fox keeps insisting “the consumer is doing very well.” www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

Trump cancels signing of bipartisan bill to make housing more affordable, continues to spend your tax dollars adding a ballroom to his own house.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

President Trump is on Capitol Hill today trying to force the Todd Blanche AG nomination through. Our 1 million members are standing in the way. Tell your Senator right now: #BlockBlanche

Trump is asking for $80 billion for a war Congress didn’t authorize, and the American people didn’t want, at the same time he says we don’t have money to help feed hungry American kids.

No precedent for a situation where, even if you are wrongly convicted and serve 50 years, part of your compensation is immunity from federal laws for you and your family forever. That the architect of this is even being considered for Attorney General is preposterous. www.semafor.com/article/06/2...
