Blanche only met with them because Tom Tillis made this a condition of getting his yes vote. What a sellout. Tillis talks tough, but it’s just like one of the other confirmations, Hegseth I think, where he made one weak demand and then gave up his yes.
Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

Pardoning the white collar criminals and detained the innocent. What a fucked up timeline.
The quashed investigation centered on potential criminal violations of the Clean Water Act by Southern Coal, a constellation of firms run day-to-day by Justice’s son, Jay, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter. By @mtredden.bsky.social and Avi Asher-Schapiro

The Trump Administration Is Spending $5 Million to Coat Horse Statues in Gold (Anna Kramer/NOTUS)
Do people really think that Latinos are going to vote for a white billionaire over a Latino man with a long history of government service? Latinos are fleeing the Republican Party right now. Most Steyer voters seem to be white progressives (like Bernie’s who never captured black voters’ confidence).

The separation from reality in the Republican Party today - vaccines are poison; Iran can be conquered; January 6th was staged by Democrats - should really really worry people. These folks just aren’t fit to govern anymore.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Way to go, my darling bitches! We're with you! ❤️🖤🫶 TnT www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
About what was @colorado.gov trying to appease Trump? What a message for a Democrat to send— election deniers who tried to interfere with an election don’t deserve full consequences for their crimes. We are starting to see that if you stand up to Trump, he caves. Stop capitulating the mad man.
Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MAGA was never going to turn on him until he hurt them. Their adult children could be applying to get a $25,000 credit for a new home; the child tax credit could’ve been extended and they would’ve gotten $250 per month per child. But they were pissed 2 trans kids were playing sports and voted Trump.

Almost 100% of new cars sold in Norway last year were electric. Not just because of oil wealth. Because of carbon taxes, EV incentives, and thirty years of consistent policy. New newsletter: Norway: The World's Most Instructive Energy Paradox janrosenow.substack.com/p/norway-the...
