By passing Blanche out of committee, Cornyn and Tillis shift the burden to the full Senate: a floor rejection triggers the Vacancies Act, forcing Blanche out as Acting AG immediately and permanently killing the nomination—a far bigger blow than stalling him in committee.

By passing Blanche out of committee, Cornyn and Tillis shift the burden to the full Senate: a floor rejection triggers the Vacancies Act, forcing Blanche out as Acting AG immediately and permanently killing the nomination—a far bigger blow than stalling him in committee.

Cornyn & Tillis advancing Blanche in committee is "threat credibility" maneuver. Pushing the game to the floor, they force Leadership and the WH to face a high-stakes gamble: either guarantee Blanche adheres to the deal, or risk a floor cascade that permanently strips the WH of its Acting AG.

In game theory terms, Cornyn and Tillis didn't surrender leverage in committee—they transferred the leverage to the entire floor floor-vote dynamic, turning Collins, Murkowski, and Cassidy into their ultimate enforcement squad

I disagree. A narcissist grifter never pays someone for a past job. They pay them to do the next one. He is funding the next insurrection attempt about 8 months from now.

James Talarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

According to the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (War Powers Act), Trump has ONE day left to secure a Declaration of War from Congress, and another 30 days to bring our troops home if not. $10 says Congress doesn't do 💩 and $20 says no one, definitely not SCOTUS, makes Trump follow the law. #feckless

No, a White House ballroom is *not* "critical for our national security". It's an obsession of an increasingly addled psychopath. It's a distraction from Trump's illegal war of aggression against Iran. It's a distraction from the cover-up of the crimes of Epstein, et. al.

Thos are the facial expressions of 1) frightened individuals; and 2) someone who knows what's been planned. If you rat on "the Don"...payback's in the cards. Her fear, his smirk.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

If trickle-down economics worked at all, the world gaining 400 billionaires last year would have set off an economic boom, given everyone raises, and lowered our prices. But it didn't. Because trickle-down economics is a scam designed to make the rich richer off the rest of us.

I was trying to figure out how to word my thoughts about the video Trump posted. This says it better than I could.

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social

Trump and his administration do not care about women’s lives. Posting a video of a woman being graphically murdered is yet another form of objectification and dehumanization. The purpose of it was to shock and offend, in order to encourage racism against immigrant men. It is a form of terror.

The reprehensible story that Trump and Hegseth are now telling about this war is that threatening genocide and civilizational erasure is *good,* because it bends the world to Trump/American will. We need to take this on directly. Some thoughts on this idea here: newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

This dude knows his party is going to get smoked in the November midterms so he is doing everything in his power to disenfranchise as many voters before the election. #TrumpVotedByMail in last week’s special election in FL. He is a fraud and will do anything to cling to power.

Trump on the Strait of Hormuz: "Really, I'm demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory ... you could make the case that maybe we shouldn't be there at all, because we don't need it. We have a lot of oil."

Helium a critical component of semi conductor production, can not leave the Strait of Hormuz. UREA a critical component in fertilizer can not leave the Strait of Hormuz. 1/5 of the worlds oil can not leave the Strait of Hormuz. The world is headed to global recession. @cnnipr.bsky.social @cnbc.com

75%of nitorgen based fertilizer transits via the Strait of Hormuz. But a significant provider is in North America: KOCH Industries. Huh? And- the primary source for refined diesel is from EHC- which can be pumped in Venezuela & refined in the USA. Huh?

I know that “total war” and “not following woke rules of engagement” sound very exciting! Real macho. Unfortunately, if Saudi and Kuwait oil fields go boom, you can’t afford pomegranate juice by April. Like, there are all sorts of weird consequences.
