We’ve always known Todd Blanche won’t stand up to the President. The real question has been whether or not Republicans who know better would say enough is enough. His confirmation is maddeningly unsurprising.

Not to mention while all of this is happening, we pay the price at the pump.
These defensive missiles can’t just be restocked at a moment’s notice, considering they take at least two years to build. The President is putting our national security at risk for his reckless and unpopular war.
The Trump Administration is churning through our military’s limited supply of Patriot missiles faster than they can resupply, all for an unpopular war in the Middle East.
We’re going to fight back in the courts, and when we take back power, we need to be ready to pass my Stop Comstock Act to make sure no administration can abuse this zombie law ever again.
They grew quieter about their next moves after the fierce public backlash in the wake of the Dobbs decision, but we knew the Trump Administration wouldn’t rest until every woman in America was subject to an abortion ban, including in states where abortion rights are protected by state law.
Todd Blanche made clear in these secret calls with anti-choice activists that he wants to resurrect the Comstock Act – an antiquated anti-vice law from before women had the right to vote – to ban sending medication abortion in the mail.
Republicans will likely do what they always do and confirm Blanche as Attorney General despite all of this, and once again, women across America will pay the price.
NEW: Amid AG confirmation battle, Todd Blanche assured anti-abortion activists that he's working to make Dobbs 'permanent in every single state.' Admin will act 'soon' to limit mail-order abortion drugs. w/ @alicemiranda.bsky.social

TODD BLANCHE: Rest assured that we’re working hand in hand with HHS and the FDA and the White House and President Trump’s team to get permanent solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.
A system that penalizes people for following its rules is fundamentally broken. ICE needs to be stripped down to the studs.
He defended the insurrection and the President’s hush-money payments. He has been and will always be a Trump loyalist. He’ll put the President’s interests over the interests of the nation and should not be confirmed.
Pretty clear Todd Blanche is just another yes-man who will sign off on the President’s worst ideas. Why would we trust someone who demonstrates he can’t stand up for what’s right?
Just a perfect example of this Administration putting money and corruption ahead of the health of our kids. MAHA where?

What happened after the meeting? Suddenly the FDA chief was ousted and restrictions on flavored vapes were lifted.
New reporting shows the President met with Big Tobacco at a golf club in Florida and promised he’d do pretty much anything the executives wanted in exchange for millions of dollars in political donations to his campaign.
We need an audit of the Pentagon now more than ever.
How can the Administration justify asking for a $1.5 trillion defense budget when the Pentagon has never even passed a full audit?
Epstein survivors have more courage in the tips of their fingernails than Todd Blanche has in his entire body
He tried screwing over his own supporters out of political spite.
Not to mention the $50,000,000 to upgrade our existing transmission lines shared with North Dakota.
Minnesotans deserve better than ridiculous partisan games.
