Rep Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said the #IRS agreement proved that #ToddBlanche was continuing to act as Trump’s personal lawyer, & she cited “nearly $10 million” that he was paid by a Trump-allied group for his legal work on behalf of #Trump between 2023 & 2024.

“My God, do you not find there’s any #ConflictOfInterest in what you are doing here as the acting attorney general of the United States?” she asked. Blanche said there was none.🤯

“Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, told lawmakers on Tuesday that the Justice Department was withdrawing a proposal to create a $1.8 billion fund to compensate people claiming to be victims of unfair prosecution. The announcement follows a revolt from Republicans who saw it as an ethical and political abomination.”

Trump CAN be beaten.

First they came for the billionaires and I said nothing because I am not a billionaire
Then they came for the millionaires and I said nothing because I'm not a millionaire. Then everything was cool and they stopped coming for people

Mate, if he wasn't *who* he is, he'd be in a hospice already, watching the children's channel, and waiting for the doctor dude to go "okay we're done here. Time he went sleepy-byes. Turn that morphine pump up to maximum."

Give trump a bulletproof backpack and active shooter drills, not a damn ballroom.

Donald Trump and his supporters are a bigger danger to this nation than any immigrant will EVER be.

I will choose human over AI every time. If that means your AI company dies on the vine I can live with that.

Authorities in the Netherlands have arrested the co-owners of two related Internet hosting companies for operating IT infrastructure used by Russia to carry out cyberattacks, influence operations and disinformation campaigns inside the European Union. The two men were the focus of a 2025 KrebsOnSecurity story about how their hosting companies had assumed control over the technical infrastructure of Stark Industries Solutions, an Internet service provider sanctioned last year by the EU as a frequent staging ground for cyber mischief from Russia’s intelligence agencies.

Spineless speaker Johnson is an embarrassment

"The separation of church and state should be of deep concern to every Jewish American and any other religious minority. In honor of Shavuot – and any other religious observance – we must continue to fight for freedom of religion and separation of church and state, and elect those who will defend both as we celebrate America’s 250th year."

Shabbat Shalom,
Halie Soifer
CEO, Jewish Democratic Council of America
