Blanche is a burgular whose priority is putting money in Trump's pocket

Sen. Whitehouse makes clear that any Republican who votes to confirm Blanche is giving him their blessing to continue the Epstein cover-up.

From @normeisen.bsky.social: "The Judiciary vote today is a major step towards installing Blanche as the primary gatekeeper for the president’s autocratic desires. That office has historically been the biggest partition protecting the American people from corruption."

BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee just advanced Todd Blanche’s nomination for attorney general in a 12-10 party-line vote.

UPDATE: Today 35 former federal judges filed a comprehensive opposition to Donald Trump’s expedited motion to stay in the case of Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service. Simply put, members of the legal system are trying to put a stop to Trump's ongoing corruption.

Right now, the Senate Judiciary Committee is voting to advance the nomination of Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General. A vote to confirm Blanche is a vote against Epstein survivors, and a vote for Trump's corruption. Remember that in November.

"Donald Trump keeps insisting that the economy under his watch is the “greatest” ever, declaring during a trip to Michigan last week that “Michigan is thriving,” and “America is winning like never before.” This is batty."

At a minimum, up to 25 million older Americans who rely on Medicare will see the costs of their prescriptions go up.

Any Remaining Objections? — A cartoon by Nick Anderson

This week, the Trump administration announced plans to stop a federal subsidy program designed to hold down prescription drug plan costs for millions of older Americans who rely on Medicare for their health coverage.

Call it what it is: an illegal side deal

If Senator Tillis truly cared about survivors, Blanche's meeting with them would have exposed rather than excused his disregard for survivors and the office he seeks to lead. Rachel Foster writes more:

Todd Blanche Failed Epstein Survivors AgainHis behavior in a hastily arranged meeting with brave women seeking justice underscored his unsuitability for the attorney general role he desperately wants.www.contrariannews.org

BREAKING: Cornyn and Tillis have confirmed they'll vote for Blanche after his order rescinding the "anti-weaponization fund." Any concern they claimed to have had for survivors was performative and has now been abandoned. Ultimately, they chose to bend the knee to the Trump administration.

"If Blanche gets through, no one would have any doubt that the DOJ under his watch will be nothing more than Trump’s personal vendetta machine — a crumbling shell of its former self, and a disgraceful symbol of the Trump regime’s attack on democracy, the rule of law, and simple decency."

Trump Searching for a Way Out to Confirm Blanche Cornyn and Tillis disgrace themselveswww.contrariannews.org

Finding an “out” to confirm Blanche (which now seems all but assured) would only slam the door shut on any accountability for Epstein enablers (including Trump’s minions) and the corrupt Trump DOJ that has bottled up evidence.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche would be a vote against survivors.” As they aptly put it, confirmation would “reward someone who has refused to take responsibility for the harm they have caused, failed to provide meaningful answers and shown no credible commitment to pursuing the full truth.”
