Alaskans, call and thank her. Mainers, call and thank Collins for her opposition, too. Louisiana, call Senator Cassidy and tell him to reject Blanche. If you have any other GOP senators, call them, too. Let's make it clear that confirming Blanche will anger a lot of people
Headed into today, the fate of Todd Blanche’s AG nomination was in the hands of two Senate Republicans: Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy and Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski.

This morning, Murkowski announced she’ll vote no.

If you live in Texas or North Carolina, please call your Senator (even if you've called about this before)
Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG.

A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely.
