The DOJ “asked” Liz Oyer to recommend that Mel Gibson’s right to own a firearm be restored-highlighting Gibson’s relationship with Trump

Oyer, citing Gibson’s longstanding abuse of women, refused

So Todd Blanche fired her

Then he began to intimidate and abuse her

He CANNOT be Attorney General

My Letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee Concerning the Nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General

As Deputy Attorney General, Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again.

Trump was first impeached after he tried to extort Zelensky. He wanted Ukraine to announce it was investigating Joe Biden

It was a lie-cooked up by Putin. Trump knew it. So did members of Congress like Jim Jordan and Ron Johnson, plus Fox hosts like Hannity

This is fraud
There must be prosecutions

MeidasTouch @meidastouch.com

Hunter Biden responded to Donald Trump’s speech with a statement noting that Trump’s own newly declassified documents undermine years of false claims about the Biden family:

Either Todd Blanche is lying and knows that the FBI works under the Attorney General-which would disqualify him as a dishonest hack

Or he’s ignorant of the DOJ hierarchy-which would disqualify him as an incompetent hack

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social

A source tells MS NOW that Todd Blanche told Epstein survivors during their meeting, "The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me." "I'm just the attorney general," Blanche added.

Todd Blanche meeting leaves Epstein survivors stunned and angry

Sources tell MS NOW the acting attorney general made false representations, refused to make commitments and seemed to have no interest in meeting with survivors.

It’s heartwarming that Emmett Till is honored in Chicago, but we must acknowledge that the racism in Mississippi which led to his murder thrives, as people there symbolically lynch him on a regular basis by vandalizing a sign marking where his body was recovered

We still have so much work to do

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Emmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

"That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you."

"Are you OK?"

"Help me! They shot me!’”

"I was trying to stop"

The last words of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero before they were murdered by ICE

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

Major Jason Watson has apparently been restricted to a military base as the Air Force considers what charges to bring against him

Being silenced by a gag order as well, he can’t communicate with the general public

But if he COULD speak, I think we all know what he’d say

IMPEACH
CONVICT
REMOVE

Democracy stands on the precipice of extinction

ICE regularly kills people

The so-called SAVE Act is really a plan to stop Americans from voting

The Iran war has us struggling to afford groceries

Please follow these fighters who have one goal: Save democracy by stopping Trump

“Todd Blanche charged Carmen Lineberger with felony obstruction of justice..and misdemeanor theft..for emailing copies of Volume II to her Gmail and Hotmail accounts.

Today, the [DOJ] filed notice to Judge Aileen Cannon that THEY wrongly emailed THREE copies of Volume II to Lineberger’s attorneys”

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...

DOJ Accidentally Sent Volume II of Jack Smith's Report to Outside Counsel

The kicker? The Outside Counsel they accidentally sent the report to is representing a woman they charged with a crime for taking Volume II out of the DOJ

Approximately 20% of the military is Black. Roughly 18% are women

The connection between Collins and Nick Fuentes shows the inextricable link between the GOP and neo-nazis

Trump hosted Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago

Young Republicans praised Hitler in text messages

Of course, there’s Charlottesville

And it’s no coincidence Ossoff is Jewish

MAGA is built on bigotry

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

Ossoff: "We've learned in recent weeks that Mike Collins's office was briefing Nick Fuentes and other prominent white supremacists on its efforts on behalf of a prominent Holocaust denier, and that Mike Collins has had a neo-Nazi propagandist based on his property."

▶

We already know there are witnesses who contradict the government’s story about the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Now video is starting to come out as well

We’ve seen ICE lie-many times-about people they’ve killed. Seems like it’s only a matter of time before this is revealed to be murder

Ossoff: [On] day 3, you said [a] core objectives was to ‘destroy the missile threat’ and..on day 5 to ‘obliterate Iran's missiles and drones’..which 4 months ago you declared..every single objective achieved. Were those..achieved

Hegseth: Noone ever stated that every single missile was gone

Uh-oh

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

OSSOFF: On day 9, you assured us of Iranian surrender. Does that remain your prediction? HEGSETH: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon O: So to review, you will not answer whether your statement that Iran's military was 'destroyed' was truthful as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more?

YES, TODD BLANCHE, IT EFFING IS A BLACK AND WHITE ANSWER

THE FOURTH AMENDMENT PROSCRIPTION AGAINST WARRANTLESS SEARCHES AND SEIZURES MAKES IT A BLACK AND WHITE ANSWER

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

I spoke with Jason Watson before his selfless act of civil disobedience against Trump and JD Vance

He felt his actions were required to save the nation he swore an oath to defend

Now-as we celebrate America turning 250-he spends Independence Day in military custody

I’m SO proud to call USAF member Jason Watson a friend of mine. He was arrested yesterday for protesting in his uniform against the administration. Bravo sir. #Impeach #Convict #Remove.

This is EXACTLY what I said earlier today. Despite the Supreme Court decision, birthright citizenship remains in jeopardy

Trump is a racist who hates immigrants. He's said it many times, in 1,000 different ways. That's why Stephen Miller works for him

And he needs to flip just one more vote

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

Vance says the midterms are big because Republicans are one SCOTUS seat from ending birthright citizenship

It’s been over a week since @govandybeshear.bsky.social called on Mitch McConnell to disclose the state of his health

There has been no credible, transparent response

Beshear should call a #KYSpecialElection

Anybody who has a problem with that should talk to Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland

A judge asked Marco Rubio if he deletes Signal messages. His team said

"Secretary Rubio does not use the auto-deletion functions in third party messaging applications"

He lied

After Hegseth's Signal debacle you might ask why he uses it at all

But of COURSE he does

Marco Rubio’s Disappearing Signal Chat — The Atlantic

The State Department told a court last year that the secretary didn’t use disappearing messages. By this spring, it had dropped that claim.

Trump called press “the enemy of the people”-many times

He threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of ABC and NBC

His DOJ goons Todd Blanche and Jay Clayton subpoenaed reporters from

The NY Times
The Washington Post
And the Wall Street Journal

Yet tonight he attended the WHCD

For me, these two statements about Trump will always define who Lindsey Graham was

"I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office”

“What concerns me..is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy some kind of kook not fit to be president”

Lindsey Graham changes tune on Trump

YouTube video by CNN

Ossoff:

“And the failure of that scheme..enraged him ever since. Now..more reviled than ever, he reanimates his 2020 obsession while he spirals in fear of the rebuke to come this fall and the accountability that will follow it. Because accountability is coming”

It certainly is

#BlueWaveIn100Days

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"

Todd Blanche never met with Epstein’s victims

He met with Ghislaine Maxwell instead

So Congress passed a law forcing DOJ to release all the Epstein files. Blanche appears to be in violation of that law

Yet many of the MAGA Senators who voted for this bill will support Blanche for Attorney General

Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @judiciarydems.senate.gov

Epstein survivor: We urge Senators Tillis and Cornyn to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

Some are worried about Trump reshaping the White House-saying he’ll never leave

But most people dismiss Trump’s talk of a 3rd term-arguing the Constitution is clear

Well-the Constitution is clear about birthright citizenship, too

And despite the recent SCOTUS decision, THAT’S still not safe
