I asked border czar Tom Homan why ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras in Maine or Texas, given Congress gave DHS $20 million for them back in April.
BREAKING: HELL NO! The New York City Bar Association boldly OPPOSES Todd Blanche's nomination to be Attorney General, calling him "unfit" for the office.
This is a massive blow to MAGA...
“Mr. Blanche has taken actions that we believe make him unfit to lead an ethical and independent department of justice that is essential to our nation’s democracy," read a letter sent by the Bar Association to Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin, the ranking members of the Judiciary Committee.
"We urge the Committee to reject the nomination of Mr. Blanche," the letter continued. "Mr. Blanche’s record—particularly the actions he has undertaken as Deputy Attorney General and Acting Attorney General—conclusively demonstrates his lack of commitment to the integrity, professionalism and independence that the Senate should require and the American people should expect of the highest law enforcement official in the land."
They went on to slam Blanche for failing to meet the standard of "professional excellence and unquestionable ethical standards that assure his commitment to justice and loyalty to the United States Constitution" and stated that his "primary loyalty" is to Trump and not the Constitution or the "rule of law."
They specifically cited his role as Trump's personal attorney during his felony trial as a cause for concern, adding that he continues to prioritize his boss's "personal interests" above all else.
"As a result, his actions have been detrimental to the Department of Justice and the rule of law. Specifically, Mr. Blanche has compromised the integrity and independence of the Department he has been nominated to lead," the letter asserted.
The Bar Association then listed some specific concerns, stating that Blanche has:
I. Abused the Department’s prosecutorial power through politically motivated prosecutions and investigations;
II. Failed to respect the Constitutional rights of citizens and all other people present in the United States protesting widespread abuses by ICE and other customs officers;
III. Placed loyalty to President Trump over commitment to the rule of law in the Epstein investigation and the “settlement” of Trump v. I.R.S.;
IV. Undermined the independence and integrity of the Department of Justice by, among other things, terminating or reassigning lawyers and others who participated in January 6 investigations or otherwise acted in a manner perceived to be disloyal to Mr. Trump; and;
V. Undermined public trust in the Department of Justice and the rule of law through conduct contrary to the Rules of Professional Conduct applicable to Mr. Blanche and the Department’s own Justice Manual.
"Under normal circumstances, each of these improper actions by Mr. Blanche as Deputy Attorney General and Acting Attorney General would be grounds for disqualifying him from serving as Attorney General," the letter added. "Together, they demonstrate that, whatever his prior experience or formal credentials, Mr. Blanche is unfit to lead the U.S. Department of Justice."
We couldn't agree more. Todd Blanche is an immoral hatchet man for an even more immoral President. He will do whatever Trump orders him to do, regardless of how criminal it is or how much damage it inflicts on our democracy.
The simple truth is that anyone who would willingly serve a demented, murderous pedophile like Donald Trump is unfit to hold office. Todd Blanche is no different. The Senate must reject his nomination.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Blanche needs to be investigated!
We can’t get a single FBI agent to investigate anyone on Epstein’s list but Lindsey Graham died from a heart attack and we now have 20 FBI agents tearing apart his house removing any potentially damaging evidence of the Epstein Class criminality.
Çin, Trump'a meydan okuyor 🇨🇳🇺🇸
Trump: "Hürmüz Boğazı'nı yeniden açmak için günde 2 milyar dolara ihtiyacımız var."
Çin Dışişleri Bakanı: "Boğaz savaş öncesinde açıktı. İşin kökeninde İran'a yönelik yasa dışı operasyonlarınız yatıyor; yoktan var ettiğiniz bir küresel kriz yarattınız."
A 23 year old Greta Thunberg is now the biggest headache for 80 year old Trump and Netanyahu. 🔥
🇸🇪 Greta: “You jail protesters while the real war criminals walk free and get away with mass slaughter.
They are the destroyers of the world’s peace.” 🔥
She was arrested after a peaceful protest.
What a brave girl. She is getting massive respect from all over the world 👏
GREAT POINT!

“Riddle me this: When Obama ran intelligence, the elections were secure — and Donald Trump won in 2016. When Biden ran the government and intelligence, the election was secure — and Donald Trump won.
But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running U.S. national security, it all got effed up?”
"If we torture them enough, they'll just throw in the towel and abandon whatever legal case they might have."
@Timodc and @JonathanBlitzer on the deadly conditions at Camp East Montana, where guards allegedly bet on detainee suicides and three people died in just over 40 days.
How do you think it would have been covered if President Obama had to pay $5 million to a woman he sexually abused and defamed?
Do you think the White House press would have asked him about it?
Meanwhile...We found out that Tyler Robinson is first cousins with Nick Shirley, who also happened to be Charlie Kirk's final guest.
Their mothers are sisters.
Imagine that.
This is assault and kidnapping. End of story.
All of these people are guilty of a crime in broad daylight.
New Jersey needs to prosecute them.
That’s the only way this will stop.
@GovSherrillNJ, indict these Gestapo animals.
COLLINS: “Why were ICE agents not wearing body cams?”
HOMAN: *Blames Dems because they think we’re all idiots even though they’ve had the money and cameras for MONTHS*
