The Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general early this morning after a bitter fight that ran past 4 a.m. Here's a Facebook post covering the vote and the opposition:The U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as Attorney General in a narrow 50-49 vote early Saturday morning, after a late-night session ran over into the early hours ahead of a planned Senate recess.Only two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, broke from their party to oppose Blanche, joining all Democrats in voting against him. Collins said the Justice Department has grown increasingly political, while Murkowski said she was not convinced Blanche would check the administration's worst impulses.Blanche, President Trump's former personal defense attorney, faced sharp criticism throughout the process. Sen. Adam Schiff argued Blanche has never been able to shed his role as Trump's personal lawyer and would prioritize the president's interests over those of the American people. Other critics, including Sen. Bill Cassidy, who ultimately provided the deciding vote to confirm him, pointed to Blanche's approval of a so called "anti weaponization" fund and an exemption shielding President Trump from IRS audits, along with what they described as DOJ lawsuits against political enemies.Epstein survivors also raised alarms after meeting with Blanche last month. One survivor, Annie Farmer, said she found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal, and urged senators to block his confirmation.Despite the opposition, Blanche thanked the Senate in a statement posted shortly after the vote, saying he was deeply honored by the trust President Trump placed in him to lead the Justice Department.#AttorneyGeneral #DOJ #FloridaPolitics ...

Andrew Gillum Arrested AgainThe former Tallahassee mayor and 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor was booked into the Baldwin County Jail in Alabama on Thursday after reportedly failing a court ordered drug test. According to Baldwin County Assistant District Attorney John Oxford, Gillum had been placed in a random testing program following his arrest last month in Daphne, where police pulled him over for erratic driving and found methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle. That July arrest left him facing a felony drug possession charge along with misdemeanor marijuana and paraphernalia counts.Gillum came within roughly 32,000 votes of defeating Ron DeSantis for governor in 2018. He has faced repeated legal and personal struggles since, including a 2020 incident at a Miami Beach hotel where police found suspected methamphetamine, and a 2023 corruption trial in which a jury acquitted him on one charge and deadlocked on others tied to alleged misuse of campaign funds.It is not yet clear how this latest arrest will affect his pending Alabama drug case.#FloridaPolitics #AndrewGillum #BreakingNews ...
