Todd Blanche turned his back on survivors demanding transparency and accountability. Instead of delivering answers, he chose the cover-up. The Senate must reject his nomination. A vote for Blanche is a vote for the cover-up.

He told his students to go to the windows. Get out. Jump if you have to. Then Liviu Librescu walked to the classroom door and pressed his body against it. He was 76 years old. He weighed 140 lbs The gunman was in the hallway. It was April 16, 2007. A Monday morning. Solid mechanics class at Virginia Tech, Room 204. Twenty-two students, most of them 19 or 20 years old. At 9:45 AM, gunshots echoed through Norris Hall. Room by room, the shooter was working his way down the corridor. Liviu heard it. He understood immediately. He had survived the Holocaust. He had survived a labor camp. He had spent decades living under Communist oppression. He knew exactly what evil sounded like. He told his students to escape through the windows. Second floor — it was a drop, but they'd survive. Then he walked to the door and held it shut with his body. The shooter tried to force it open. It wouldn't move. He fired through the door. Wood splintered. Bullets came through. Liviu stayed. Behind him, students were climbing out the windows. Dropping to the ground. Running. One by one, all twenty-two of them got out. The shooter kept firing through the door. Liviu held it shut until every student was safe. Then the bullets killed him. When police arrived, they found his body at the door. All 22 of his students survived. Not one was injured. Liviu Librescu was born on August 18, 1930, in Ploiești, Romania. He was Jewish. In 1941, when he was eleven years old, Romanian authorities sent him and his family to a labor camp. His father died there. Liviu survived. When the war ended, he was fifteen. He went back to school. Studied engineering. Earned a doctorate from the University of Bucharest. But Communist Romania had no interest in allowing a Jewish intellectual to succeed. He was blocked from academic positions. Passed over for jobs he deserved. He applied to emigrate. The government kept refusing. Finally, in 1978 when Liviu was 48 years old — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally intervened. Romania let him go. He had spent most of his adult life trapped in a country that didn't want him. In Israel, he taught at Tel Aviv University. Published over 300 papers. Became an international expert in aeroelasticity — the science of how air flows over aircraft wings. In 1985, Virginia Tech offered him a position. He moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He taught there for 22 years. His students loved him — demanding but kind, high standards, genuine care. He was still teaching full-time at 76. Still publishing research. Still showing up every Monday morning for solid mechanics. April 16 was the first day of Passover — the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from slavery and oppression. Liviu Librescu died on the day his tradition sets aside to celebrate freedom. He spent his entire life escaping death and oppression by luck, by persistence, by the intervention of others. And on his last morning, he chose to stand at a door so that twenty-two young people could have the future he had fought so hard to reach. He could have run. He could have hidden. He could have climbed out a window with his students. He chose to stay. The Virginia Tech shooting killed 32 people that day — the deadliest school shooting in American history at the time. Room 204 had zero casualties. Because a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor held a door with his body until every student behind him was gone. His funeral was held in Israel. Students from Virginia Tech flew across the ocean to honor him. The Israeli government awarded him the Star of David Medal posthumously. Virginia Tech named a scholarship in his memory. His son said his father died the way he lived — protecting others. A man who survived everything evil threw at him for 76 years. On his last day, he made sure 22 kids survived too. Professor Liviu Librescu. August 18, 1930 — April 16, 2007. Holocaust survivor. Labor camp survivor. 302 published papers. 22 years at Virginia Tech. 22 students out the window. He held the door.

🇺🇸Trump: "China, Russia, and Iran hacked our election under Democrats." 🇺🇸Journalist: "You have been in office for over 540 days now."🔥 🇺🇸Trump: So? 🇺🇸Journalist: "If what you said tonight is backed up by evidence, why hasn’t anyone been charged?" 🔥 🇺🇸Trump: Next question, please. American Journalists are absolutely cooking Trump 👏

Remember this America? It was Canada not your new Allies - Russia, Israel and North motherf'ing Korea. It was Canada who was there for you. The same Canada you are now attacking. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU

It happened again! Trump lingers on the stage as Infantino tries to direct him off of it so Spain can lift the World Cup trophy. 🤣

He expected them to hand it over to him.

For years, weaponizing robots has been a taboo. But now some Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are pushing to allow this to happen, arguing it will make the U.S. military more nimble, reports @iduncan and the Trump administration is encouraging this trend washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Last week Jesse Watters made a horrific comment that made light of sexual assault. I created a montage of DISGUSTING comments he's made regarding consent and sexual violence. Fox News has paid out tens of millions in sexual harassment lawsuits. Watters still has a job. 🤷‍♀️

@MAGALieTracker He is dismantling every civilian defense; elections, environmental, energy, health, CDC, judicial, state department, weatherforecasing... basically hoping something goes wrong so he can declare an emergency and suspend elections. x.com/i/status/20792…

BREAKING: Senator Elissa Slotkin just EXPOSED Trump’s plot to hold onto power. Trump is actively laying the groundwork to manufacture a crisis closer to Election Day and prevent a fully free and fair election from taking place. This is a must watch.

Why does trust in the police matter? Because it means more victims coming forward, more witnesses testifying, and more residents sharing the information that close cases. Crime gets solved. Community-Oriented Policing makes it happen.

Best Buy adds more solar generation to portfolio The new solar sites include the retailer’s first store with a rooftop “community solar garden” as it looks to a 2040 net-zero target. utilitydive.com/news/best-buy-…

Russell Vought is wrong. 187 years before Project 2025, the Supreme Court emphatically rejected Russell Vought’s theory that a president has the constitutional authority to suspend spending laws enacted by Congress.

Every time I mention climate change in a post about catastrophic flooding or wildfires, the replies are flooded with the same insults, conspiracy theories and outright denial. "Moron." "Fucking idiot." "Dickhead." "Retarded." "Shut up." "Fuck off." Then come the excuses: "It's a flood plain." "It's just weather." "It's weather warfare." "It's cloud seeding." "It's arson." "It's geoengineering." "It's HAARP." "It's solar cycles." "It's the Hunga Tonga eruption." "It's God's punishment." "It's the end times." "It's poor infrastructure." "Floods have always happened." It's so predictable and boring. They're losing! Anything. Absolutely anything. As long as it avoids the one explanation supported by decades of scientific evidence. Nobody is claiming climate change invented floods, wildfires or storms. These events have always existed. What scientists are saying is that a warming climate is making many of them more frequent, more intense and more destructive. That is not a conspiracy theory. It is not a political opinion. It is established physics. Yet some people would rather believe in secret weather weapons, aircraft spraying chemicals, magnetic pole shifts, or ancient biblical prophecies than listen to the overwhelming scientific evidence. You can deny the science, attack the messenger and repeat the same conspiracy theories, but you cannot argue with reality. The floodwaters will keep rising. The wildfires will keep burning.

Diversifying my news and information sources was integral to my leaving MAGA. I slowly started turning off Fox and ceasing to read outlets, as an example, such as Breitbart. As I widened and expanded my information aperture, I felt less and less addicted to fear and rage.

19 July 1910 | A French Jew, Rodolphe Rosenfeld, was born in Paris. In July 1943 he was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz. He did not survive.

Hmm.. quite an excerpt in new court response from Todd Blanche & Justice Dept to @KatiePhang lawsuit seeking further release of Epstein files 1) More typos by Justice Dept 2) Trump Admin lawyers call Blanche "rational", while calling Phang "hyperbolic" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

More US troops killed in Trump's Iran war

Global EV share of new car sales was under 5% as recently as 2020, then climbed fast roughly 9% (2021), 14% (2022), 18% (2023), 20%+ (2024-2025). So the “takeoff” really is a post-2021 phenomenon, not a two-decade trend
