Todd Blanche Is "Not Fit" to Be AG, from Epstein Files to Trump's $1.8B Slush Fund: Rep. Jayapal
Confirmation hearings are underway for President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, his personal attorney Todd Blanche. Blanche is mired in a number of controversies, most notably his mishandling of the administration's release of the Epstein files while serving as deputy attorney general under Pam Bondi. Washington state Representative Pramila Jayapal, who is co-sponsoring a bill to allow Epstein survivors whose identifying information was improperly publicized by the Department of Justice to sue the federal government for damages, says "Todd Blanche was responsible" for the breach. "He really wanted to discourage anyone else from coming forward with more information. … It's [a] big reason why he shouldn't be the attorney general." Jayapal also discusses the Department of Justice's surveillance of herself and other legislators who viewed Epstein-related documents and Blanche's longstanding personal and professional connections with Trump.

A "Forever War" in Iran? Ali Vaez on Escalating War, U.S. "Diplomatic Malpractice"
Has the United States launched a forever war on Iran? As the Trump administration renews its attacks on Iran, killing at least 35 civilians over the course of five days, political analyst Ali Vaez warns that the U.S. is inciting potentially never-ending "cycles of violence" with its manipulations of the diplomatic process. The U.S.'s unilateral renunciation of the "memorandum of understanding" as a "pretext for another round of war" has further eroded trust between the countries, says Vaez. "There is really no military solution," he concludes. "The best solution is for both sides to agree to return to the MOU and to respect its terms."
