The Attorney General is America's top law enforcement officer—not the President's personal attorney. Todd Blanche has repeatedly shown that he's the wrong person for the job.

Todd Blanche is known for one thing: his loyalty to Trump.
If confirmed as AG, I’m worried he’s going to serve as Trump’s personal lawyer – not the American people’s.
I’ll be voting NO on his nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote to make abortion bans "permanent in every single state." Those are his words. He’s privately promising anti-choice extremists he'll use the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision to crack down on nationwide access to safe medication abortion by mail-

Todd Blanche has failed Epstein survivors at every turn, which is why they believe he is unfit to be Attorney General.
Here’s what they’re saying… 🧵
As Co-Chair of the Mental Health Caucus, I’m proud to support bipartisan efforts to strengthen mental health programs.
I’ll keep fighting RFK Jr.’s efforts to gut and undermine these critical programs, and will continue to conduct oversight to protect them.

This Purple Heart Day, @housedemocrats.bsky.social pause to remember the service and sacrifice of the men and women who were wounded or gave their lives for our country. To every recipient and every family who stood beside them— your bravery will not be forgotten.
For 15 years, Virginians have been able to use their SNAP benefits to buy healthy, fresh food from farmers markets.
But thanks to Trump's "Big Ugly Bill" more than 100,000 Virginians have lost their benefits, cutting families off from quality food and farmers from reliable business.
The Administration itself confirms Trump’s illegal arch would massively disrupt sites that draw millions of people to the capital every year.
The whole project is a monument to Trump's vanity and insecurity, and an insult to our heroes buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Virginia's state budget had to absorb the fallout from H.R.1. $134M is needed just to administer new federal Medicaid paperwork. 260,000 Virginians could lose coverage; 13 rural hospitals are at risk. State action can only do so much when Congress keeps shifting costs downstream.

People who don’t have health insurance, fail to present it are visiting Virginia hospital emergency departments more often

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov and @beyer.house.gov, Senior House Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee, issued the following statement on the Senate passage of the Russia sanctions bill:
As wages fail to keep pace with inflation, businesses stop hiring, and discouraged Americans leave the workforce because of Trump’s disastrous policies, Trump is abusing his office to enrich himself while shielding himself and his family from tax audits.

The U.S. economy saw an unexpected decline in jobs during July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday in a snapshot that showed a slowing employment picture.

(1/2) We just completed an unannounced oversight visit at ICE’s temporary holding facility in Chantilly.
We have received reports of overcrowding and long stays at this facility designed to process small numbers of people before they are sent to detention facilities.
In my meeting with the FAA yesterday we discussed reports of failed communications between helicopter and commercial airline traffic at DCA.
I reiterated the need to implement the NTSB’s recommendations related to last year’s tragic midair collision, which is why the House passed the ALERT Act.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a landmark step toward ensuring every eligible American could exercise their right to vote.
We’ve made meaningful progress since then, but the fight isn’t over. I’ll keep working to protect our democracy and strengthen voting rights for all Americans.
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, but Trump keeps violating the law to block funding passed by Congress, including medical research, anti-poverty programs, education funding, and much more.
I introduced new legislation to stop him:

If Trump and Republicans wanted to crack down on fraud and abuse, they wouldn’t close more than 23,000 criminal cases investigating fraud and white-collar crimes.
And they certainly wouldn’t agree to a deal shielding Trump from investigations into potential financial crimes.
