- New reporting shows Donald Trump wanted the entire Epstein scandal buried. He made clear to his team “that he had no interest in releasing anything related to Epstein.”
- Sen. DURBIN: You embraced Trump’s position detaining any immigrant without a bond hearing. Why are you so extreme on detention? Nominee: I felt the Administration was within its limits.
00:00 - Sen. SCHIFF: Who won the 2020 election? Trump nominee: *dodges* Schiff: You involved yourself in political controversy at Columbia, took it upon yourself to insert yourself. But you can’t answer who won the 2020 election? There’s no way to square those two things.
00:00 - Sen. WELCH: What right do you have to tell an academic institution who to hire? Trump nominee: Judges don’t surrender their First Amendment rights. Welch: But as a judge? Nominee: It was appropriate. Welch: Judges shouldn’t get involved in incredible political controversy.

- Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on January 6th? Trump nominee: It was troubling. I’m not going to characterize beyond that. Blumenthal: You’ve seen video and know of injuries to officers. You can’t say it was attacked? Nominee: *dodges* Blumenthal: I’m astonished.
00:00 - Sen. DURBIN: Judges appointed by Republicans and Democrats have found that the Trump Administration broke the law. And violating a court order isn’t acceptable. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening.
00:00 - New reporting shows the Trump Administration turned the Situation Room into an “Epstein war room.” The Situation Room is meant for national security matters, not pedophile coverups. Trump is focused on protecting himself—not YOU.
- Todd Blanche is no neutral law enforcement officer. He’s never given up his primary role: Donald Trump’s chief defender in court. Putting Donald Trump and the Epstein class before YOU.
- BREAKING: Trump formally nominates former personal attorney Todd Blanche to be Attorney General, in move that further weaponizes the Justice Department.
- New reports showcase horrors of Trump-Mullin immigration detention facilities. This Louisiana facility fails to comply with standards, including excessive force and unsanitary conditions. A staff member applied a choke hold. Another stabbed a detainee with a pen. One just died.
- BREAKING: A 43-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 19th death in immigration detention this year and at a pace on track to exceed last year’s deaths in detention.
- Sen. HIRONO: Donald Trump spent all of 2024 insisting he’d go after the ‘worst of the worst.’ And yet, like everything else, that was a lie. His regime has indiscriminately gone after all immigrants, swept up into Stephen Miller’s desire to get rid of immigrants in our country.
