Blanche Backed

Acting Attorney General Blanche is ready to drop the “acting.”

GOP Senators Cornyn (TX) and Tillis (NC) said Monday they were ready to support Blanche’s confirmation as Uncle Sam’s top lawyer after Blanche formally terminated the DOJ’s $1.8B “anti-weaponization” fund. The fund, created in a settlement between President Trump and the IRS over leaked tax returns, had been repeatedly declared dead, but the Republican Senators wanted it in writing.

Blanche advanced through the Senate Judiciary Committee 12-10 along party lines and now awaits approval from the full chamber.

Meanwhile, five states headed to the polls yesterday. All eyes were on Michigan’s primary as Democrats chose whether to advance progressive Abdul El-Sayed or center-left Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in a must-win Senate race for Democrats (see where things stand).

CHOOSE LOVE
During any election season, it’s easy to see the shortcomings of our opponents and cast ourselves in the right. When you find yourself grumbling about others, remember to check your own heart.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
