Our constitutional form of government was designed with built-in checks and balances to prevent the rise of a tyrannical leader. But congressional Republicans have abandoned that important role. Read about it in our latest op-ed for The Hill. thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Congressional Republicans have proven themselves unworthy of the majorities they won in 2024.

The coming midterm elections will give voters a chance to hold them accountable for their failures.

Sen. Bill Cassidy announced he will provide the deciding vote to confirm Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche as attorney general, endorsing corruption and sacrificing accountability. Read our full statement: www.peoplefor.org/people-ameri...

Text reading: Senate Republicans had an opportunity to put country over party. Instead, they have failed once again to fulfill their constitutional duty to check a corrupt president. Rather than holding him accountable for his lawlessness, they are enabling and rewarding it.

As acting attorney general, Todd Blanche has overseen the corruption of the Justice Department. He has betrayed the rule of law and the interests of the American people for Donald Trump’s personal and financial benefit.

The confirmation of Todd Blanche as attorney general will also serve as confirmation of the utter corruption of the Republican Party by the Trump regime. It is clearer than ever that accountability must come from the American people. And that begins with the November midterms.

People For the American Way@peoplefor· 9d

Todd Blanche serves Trump, not the American people. He is unacceptable as Attorney General. It’s up to all of us to call our senators and demand they vote NO on Blanche’s nomination. MAKE THE CALL TODAY! #ToddBlanche #Blanche #AttorneyGeneral

People For the American Way@peoplefor· 10d

The battle over Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general has affirmed the undeniable reality that corruption is the rotten core of the Trump administration. We must not allow this nomination to succeed. Read more in our latest op-ed for The Hill. thehill.com/opinion/whit...
