Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder:
The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

Go get ‘em, Rep. Massie.
Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.”

Wow, guess he’s running out of personal/family/sick leave, or vacation time at this point. He’ll need a Go Fund Me soon. Oh wait - no- he’s a member of Congress. Free ride forever.
Questions continue to swirl around the prolonged absence of GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey as he entered his THIRD month away from Congress, with no clear return date from what staffers say is an undisclosed “personal medical matter” and a competitive re-election race looming in the background.
Tom Kean Jr. has been missing from Congress for 2 months. Questions continue.
The congressman's chief of staff says he will return to a regular schedule soon, but GOP colleagues report "radio silence" and House leadership remains in the dark.

I’m one of those old gals you see driving around in a Prius. Make fun all you want. My car is comfortable, fast, has a kick-ass sound system. And, I’ve only bought gas once since the President started the war in Iran.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero.
And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced.
That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Needed this. I need help in finding out what I can do. The list of abysmal actions is overwhelmingly long.
One lesson to take from this abysmal moment is that no victory is permanent and politics never ends. The right knew it, and the left can no longer ignore it. But that also means that the horrors now being unleashed on the country can be undone.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown!
She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

US Democratic lawmaker Raskin seeks commission to oversee removal of presidents
Democrats in Congress have begun talking about pushing for the impeachment of Trump or trying to trigger the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution, which provides the bare-bones process for taking away a president's power in a procedure separate from impeachment.

So, fired for utter incompetence or for allowing too much Epstein.. or both? I’m thinking both.
Pam Bondi is out? That's good news, but it won't lead Trump's "Justice" Dept to be more committed to justice. He'll lean on the next AG to accelerate his vengeful prosecutions of perceived enemies.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice.
Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.
