BREAKING:

MS Now confirms Trump will formally nominate his former personal lawyer Todd Blanche to be his next attorney general.

Todd Blanche mishandled the Epstein files, supported the controversial slush fund to give to insurrectionists, and targeted Trump's perceived enemies. https://t.co/jqU0Vi5WAP

Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.

CORTEZ MASTO: Do you intend to give the 400,000 taxpayers who also had their information leaked the same immunity as President Trump and his family received?

BESSENT: I'm unable to provide any additional information

CORTEZ MASTO: It's very clear you're dodging this. It's just outrageous.

I am totally invested in her downfall.

There’s video proving this is a lie.

Ossoff: "If we want to stop these spectacularly incompetent, loyalist nominees from getting confirmed in the Senate, we're going to have to stop relying on a few Republican senators to suddenly discover their courage and integrity. We're going to have to win the majority."

Bari Weiss and the rest of MAGA never wanted to end “cancel culture.” They wanted to control it.

MacFarlane: I wasn't called Scott in the office. I was called Scotty Mac, Macfarlane or, hey, you come over here because Scott Pelley was Scott. That's the reverence with which he was held at CBS

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It’s difficult to summarize in words just how dumb and disingenuous @bungarsargon is.

Sellers: And for people who say, you didn't vote for this—yes, you did. 

You knew this man had no leadership capability whatsoever when you elected him again. And this is what you get

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

New reports reveal GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp sold 3 lakefront properties shortly after he became governor.

The properties had been listed for over a decade, and the people who bought the properties were later given valuable government contracts and appointed to high-ranking positions.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Even when the fact-finding court made the exact finding that the Supreme Court said would toss a district map, the Supreme Court reversed, applying its highest principle: “whatever helps Republicans win is what we do.”

They are now shameless.

Psaki: What are you hearing from your former colleagues about what's happening inside CBS right now?

MacFarlane: I'm hearing an acceleration of concern about the future, not just of CBS news, but of linear legacy broadcast media already fighting, pushing against the ocean, trying to keep an audience, trying to keep relevant, trying to keep things the way they are…

Top Media Reporter Says ’60 Minutes’ Could Lose Entire Staff in a ‘Matter of Weeks, if Not Days’

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: There is no world in which Todd Blanche could earn my vote. As far as I'm concerned, he should resign. Todd Blanche is a crony. Todd Blanche is a loyalist. He has no business as the nation's top law enforcement official.

If we want to stop these spectacularly incompetent nominees from getting confirmed, we're going to have to stop relying on a few Republican senators to suddenly discover their courage and integrity. We're going to have to win the majority in the senate.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

A reminder that the the New York Supreme Court ruled for New York to redraw their maps. The Supreme Court overturned that. When the Virginia Supreme Court struck down Virginia’s legal redistricting, the Supreme Court didn’t intervene. The supreme court is nothing but a blatant partisan Institution

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

The real problem for Bari isn’t what Pelley said, or even that she had to fire him. It’s that everyone applauded him for saying it and then the exchange leaked to every media reporter instantly. That will keep happening because she does not have and will never have their respect.

[Jayne Miller @jemillerbalt]

Scott Pelley was fired.
60 Minutes is heading to be a shadow of its former self.
Pelley said he was directed to put unverified information into a story.
And.."politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast."
