If Sen #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) remains absent from the #Senate, 3 #Republican votes against #ToddBlanche would sink his nomination for US AG. Senator #LisaMurkowski (R-AK) became Friday morning the 2nd Republican to say she would oppose his nomination in a floor vote, joining Sen #SusanCollins (R-ME). Sen #BillCassidy (R-LA) has not announced his position, but his opposition could lead to Blanche’s rejection. #Democrats uniformly oppose his nomination. #law #Trump #DOJ https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08/07/us/trump-news?unlocked_article_code=1.3lA.NdHX.R3RKMe5b-7sZ&smid=nytcore-ios-share

#Trump loses 21 straight court battles to obtain #state voter rolls ahead of #midterms as noncitizen voting claims remain unproven The Trump admin's streak of courtroom defeats in its effort to obtain state voter rolls reached 21 just this year when a judge ruled this week that #states are not required to share the records with the #FederalGovernment. #law #BigLie #ElectionInterference #US #Constitution #coup https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/trump-loses-21-straight-court-battles-state-voter-rolls-midterms-near-2026-08-07/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=2025_engagement

With #Trump's #Republicans defending slim majorities in both chambers of #Congress, ​his admin has mounted an aggressive effort to expand federal “oversight” of [interference in] #elections ahead of the November 3 #midterms. Trump argues that widespread noncitizen voting is benefiting the Democratic Party, even though state audits ‌& independent studies have found noncitizen voting to be incredibly rare. #law #BigLie #ElectionInterference #US #Constitution #coup

A Reuters investigation found that just 129 people have been prosecuted for noncitizen voting since a law criminalizing it was passed in 1996 [that’s 129 people over 30 years], & that most of those cases stemmed from voter confusion or miscommunication with election officials rather than any conspiracy. #Trump #law #BigLie #ElectionInterference #US #Constitution #coup

🤬🤯 beyond disgraceful The #Senate “Homeland Security” Committee voted along party lines on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci in #contempt of #Congress for his refusal last week to answer questions from the panel. The committee’s chairman, #Republican Senator #RandPaul of Kentucky, has said he wants to see Dr. Fauci “in prison.” #law #scapegoat #PublicHealth #PublicDisservice https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/us/politics/fauci-contempt-of-congress.html?smid=url-share&smid=nytcore-ios-share&rsrc=cl-share

A Republican senator said he obtained a copy of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s phone. 
Sen #RonJohnson (R-WI) said he was given it by the #Trump admin. The senator said it may answer questions #Fauci declined to answer at a hearing last week. 
Fauci faces a #contempt vote in #Congress today∶ The retired government scientist may soon face #criminal charges. #scapegoat #law #PublicHealth #science #medicine https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/08/05/gop-senator-obtains-copy-faucis-phone-contempt-vote-looms/

In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest.
