See for yourself, this guy, who was nominated to be the top lawyer at the State Department, will do anything to dodge the truth.
He won’t admit we have blockaded Iran because that would be an admission we are at war.
Gaslighting the American people.

Yesterday, Blanche refused to say Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund wouldn't be used to pay off convicted Jan 6 rioters & child molesters.
I'm offering an amendment to prevent these criminals from getting a penny of your tax dollars.
Will Republicans send your money to criminals & pedophiles?
Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.'
Trump first, working Americans last.

Today, I asked acting-AG Blanche if a convicted pedophile & Jan 6 rioter would be eligible for his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund.
The fact that he can't rule it out is obscene.
Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney.
Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?
Yesterday, Trump announced a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for his allies & friends.
Today, I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police & committed violent crimes, would be eligible for payouts.
He couldn't say no.
PFAS has been linked to cancer & developmental delays in children.
We should be doing everything we can to get it OUT of our drinking water. But instead, the Trump Admin wants to do the opposite — putting our communities at risk.
This isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
My thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims and the entire Islamic Center of San Diego community.
Every American deserves to feel safe at their place of worship.
We must end this violence.
Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.
An outrageous abuse of power.
Trump's memecoin is one of the most corrupt schemes we've seen from a U.S. president.
Foreign actors are using it to buy influence inside our White House, while at home, investors have lost billions.
My amendment would've shut this scam down. Every Republican voted against it.
72 years ago, SCOTUS decided the historic Brown v. Board decision, reiterating one thing: Separate is not equal.
Trump & his handpicked SCOTUS are doing all they can to turn back the clock and destroy the legacy of the civil rights struggle. We will fight them at every turn.
Trump's illegal war in Iran is spiking inflation & prices nationwide.
Trump’s & Senate Republicans’ solution: ignore rising costs & push for $1 BILLION for Trump's gold-plated ballroom — on the American taxpayers’ dime.
All while taking no action on higher costs for the American people.
Trump is actively investing in companies which his administration regulates & awards taxpayer funded contracts to.
Trump is making millions off your tax dollars, all the while his policies are spiking inflation & putting life out of reach for millions of working Americans.
Trump is 'dropping' his bogus lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a slush fund, courtesy of your tax dollars, that he can use to pay off his political allies.
While people drown in high prices & inflation — Trump’s lining his & his buddies’ pockets.
We will fight this.
Trump's illegal war in Iran has raised the average cost of owning a home by $30,000 & that's after his tariffs increased homebuilding costs by thousands.
Trump & his HUD Secretary can dance around the facts, but their policies are pricing people out of the American Dream.
$1.2 TRILLION could undo almost all of Trump’s Medicaid & SNAP cuts.
Instead, Trump wants to build his unworkable 'Golden Dome' scheme. This is nothing more than a gift to the military industrial complex, but they know they can sell anything to Trump if they call it “golden.”
Today, I offered an amendment that would have shut this scam down.
My amendment would've prevented self-dealing by public officials — including the President & members of Congress — who own or promote digital asset companies, including crypto.
Every Republican voted against it.
There is no place for antisemitism in our country. The graffiti at New Market Middle School is the latest such incident in our state. Schools should be safe spaces for our kids.
We must condemn antisemitism wherever it raises its ugly head.

Yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel told me he'd take Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test if I did. Well, here's mine.
Given all the lies he told yesterday, I imagine he'll fudge the numbers here, but let's see yours, Director Patel.
24 sources told The Atlantic that Kash Patel’s heavy drinking impeded his ability to do his job. He denied it.
He also told provable lies during this hearing.
And at the end, he refused to acknowledge that is a crime to lie to Congress.
It is.
