5. The slush fund was established in a document negotiated and signed between Blanche (signed by his stooge) and “Trump’s lawyers.” Where are the communications around that, which Blanche says he didn’t have? Where’d the deal come from? Was it immaculate conception?
- SW
4. He pretends he’s had no communication with “Trump’s lawyers.” Strange, since someone for DOJ “negotiated” the “deal.” Strange, since Trump’s lawyers spoke for DOJ in a pleading. Strange, since the federal judge found there was “collusion,” which takes both sides.

3. Tillis and Cornyn trying to extract an actual end to the slush fund and the Trump tax fraud amnesty, and being rebuffed, proves that the promise was false. Trump wants BOTH, and weasel Blanche is stuck with his client’s decision. So he squirms. And lies.
- SW
2. For instance, all Blanche said was that the Fund was dead and would not be set up. How do you weasel around that? Add one more collusive codicil to the crooked deal, and there’s a brand new vehicle for the $$$. “Hey, I said we wouldn’t use ‘the Fund,’ and we didn’t.”
- SW
1. Everybody hates both Trump’s crooked slush fund AND the crooked Trump family tax fraud amnesty, so Blanche weaseled a false answer that the slush fund was “DEAD.” But he wouldn’t put in writing. That’s a tell in general, and with lawyers’ weasel words in particular.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave . . . .” AG nominee Todd Blanche is snarled deep in a tangled web of his own making, and he and Republicans are covering up the messy tangle. That won’t last. The mess is too thick. The stink is too rank. 🧵

It’s heartbreaking that we lose nearly 50,000 Americans annually to suicide. People in crisis need help — and fast. Our 9-8-8 hotline is bringing that help and it’s saving lives.

Remember last month when Senate Republicans blocked my bills to kill Trump's slush fund for good and redirect the funding to Medicaid, SNAP, or law enforcement if it was brought back? Now we know why — it's because the fund was never dead after all.

For years, Ralph de la Torre and Cerberus Capital Management bled MA hospitals dry. While they flew on private jets and made millions, workers went unpaid, patients died, and hospitals were forced to close. Massachusetts deserves accountability, and Ralph de la Torre deserves to be in jail.

Technology that generates nude images of people, oftentimes without their consent, is disturbing. Minnesota passed a bipartisan law to ban nudification technology. Now Elon Musk’s company is suing to block that law from taking effect.

Trump is more focused on collecting money for his pet projects than he is on governing. Offering donors special access in exchange for tens of millions of dollars isn’t draining the swamp — it’s expanding it.

Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia has argued that the United States has a Christian identity and that the separation of church and state is a myth. If confirmed by the Senate, he will represent Americans of ALL faiths, and work with diplomatic leaders from around the world.

Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

The Trump administration is making it even more expensive to be a senior in America, ending a program that helps seniors afford coverage for their medications. Now seniors will have to pay more thanks to a president who thinks “affordability” is a made-up word.

The Trump-Vance Administration wants performative war in the worst possible way—focusing on optics and flashy videos instead of doing the hard work to keep Americans safe. It's juvenile, embarrassing, and would be comical if it weren't so tragic.
