You either got played by the administration, or you are playing the American people. Disgraceful.

@MikeBates @AP Trump Family Taxes. Kinda sounds like Addams Family Values…..😑

From Axios: A think tank at Renmin University of China, in Beijing, published a report called "Thanks” Trump, which argues that his tariffs, attacks on allies and immigration policies have hastened the "twilight of an empire."

@MikeBates I'm trying to imagine Obama or Biden having such a thing in their pasts without Republicans digging it up and having apoplectic, hysterical fits over it (and rightfully so, for once!) ...... Yet here we are, after all their self-righteous posturing over the years.

@FlowerGirlBaker @factpostnews Trump in 2024: “Oh, I want to talk about IVF. I’m the father of IVF. . .”

@factpostnews Huh…I remember him campaigning on IVF for all

Senate Republicans have unanimously blocked a proposal to expand IVF coverage for military families.

@people In response to a Trump initiated lawsuit, Capital One disclosed hundreds of Trump Organization accounts were closed after money laundering reviews. And no one in the civilized world is surprised in the least.

@IngrahamAngle Tillis and Cornyn must be pleased at how Blanche has dealt with Epstein’s survivors, while taking care of Ghislaine Maxwell. With their political careers at an end, history will remember them as pedophile protectors. Quite the legacy.

Tillis and Cornyn finding their way to “yes” on the Blanche nom should be easy now. If this stalls any longer than we know the reasons they gave for opposing him were pretextual.

Tillis & Cornyn might as well have just voted to confirm Blanche originally to spare us this kabuki theater. They are confirming the man who crafted the settlement & slush fund who is the same man who can easily rescind it once he’s confirmed. And Trump keeps IRS immunity. Frauds

Cornyn & Tillis have just announced they will support Blanche, despite this. And everything else.

Tillis and Cornyn need to stop blackmailing the administration and confirm Blanche asap.   He’s a good man and highly qualified.

Under pressure from two Republican senators blocking his confirmation as the next attorney general, Todd Blanche said he is formally rescinding his establishment of President Trump's so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund." ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports. abcnews.visitlink.me/O_I0pT

From the outset, Senator @JohnCornyn and I were clear that we needed a written document addressing our concerns on the IRS audit agreement and the anti-weaponization fund that included constraining the scope of audit protection by limiting it to the parties of the Settlement Agreement and legally ending the anti-weaponization fund. We are pleased that the Department of Justice has issued a formal order terminating the anti-weaponization fund. Additionally, the Department has acknowledged in a binding written order that the audit settlement is limited to the plaintiffs and the scope does not extend beyond the defendants in the lawsuit, the IRS and the Treasury, addressing concerns that multiple of our Republican colleagues share. We want to express our gratitude to Mr. Blanche and his staff for working with us on this, and we look forward to voting to advance his nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee soon.
