Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination and renominate him after the midterms. This makes the Epstein Files, Trump’s slush fund for insurrectionists, and tax fraud immunity major topics heading into the midterms.

Trump seems real eager to avoid liability for his taxes.
Sahil KapurTrump says he may withdraw Todd Blanche for AG if John Cornyn & Thom Tillis don’t come around, at least until they’re out of office. Their key demand has been to rewrite the IRS settlement so as to kill Trump’s weaponization fund. Not clear the president is willing to do that.

Governors should threaten to withhold federal taxes. Is that legal? Probably not. Is it realistic? Who knows. IT DOESN'T MATTER. There is political value in taking a stand and drawing a moral line. Make a spectacle of it. Fight. Force Republicans to publicly defend their monstrous behavior.
David RobertsThis is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

In 2008 Pres. Bush gave Dr. Anthony Fauci the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Then, on Jan. 19, 2021, Trump’s final full day in office, Trump himself gave Fauci a presidential commendation for his exceptional efforts in responding to COVID-19. Moreno should be ashamed of himself.
True and hopefully.
Greg SargentThe failure of Trumpism as a "personalist" project doesn't mean the broader MAGA ideological project will fail. But I think it's good that personalist dicator rule is getting so widely rejected. It may be a sign of democratic resilience. Some thoughts on that here: newrepublic.com/article/2137...

Scamming off their crimes!
Karly KingsleyVaughn will receive a seven-figure settlement for restricting women’s access to health care. This fund is nothing more than an incentive for others to commit crimes on behalf of the Trump admin to, chase a payday they will likely never see. And taxpayers are footing the bill.
