I know this is being presented as an “acting” appointment but I cannot stress how sickening it is for Trump’s DEFENSE LAWYER to be serving as U.S. Attorney General. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/02/trump-white-house-ballroom-republicans-dhs-funding-deal-tariffs-latest-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-69cea59b8f08764b987c9028#block-69cea59b8f08764b987c9028
Trump fires Pam Bondi as attorney general as top Democrats welcome ouster: ‘good riddance’ – live

Todd Blanche to serve as acting attorney general; Trump was reportedly frustrated with Bondi over the justice department’s handling of the Epstein files

@heidilifeldman Do you ever get the feeling that Trump only knows like 12 people total?
@heidilifeldman do you think Bondi is preparing for defense of Trump? Or more Epstein files litigation?
@odaraia @heidilifeldman Bondi may be the 'woman who knew too much'.

@heidilifeldman

The only solice is that he is quite experienced at losing every case.

@heidilifeldman trump is on record from his first regime saying he prefers the acting role because it allows him to dictate appointments without congressional review.

... I mean, to the extent that anything he says lines up with what he does

@heidilifeldman does this have any bearing on her presidential pardon?

@heidilifeldman

He did it! He found somebody EVEN WORSE!

=========
Mr. AG, Sir, FBI disarmed a man who shot up a kindergarten at Kelly AFB to protest Harry Potter books. The suspect's in custody and we're filing murder charges.

AG: Hold on! Did the Founding Fathers want to meddle in crimes? In Wales in 1569 a judge said killing a child of unknown loyalty was not... Are Air Force crews domiciled... Probably the Murder statute was talking about crows... Burr killed Hamilton, but no...

@heidilifeldman

yup.

we're falling so far
and there is no bottom

@heidilifeldman If he's an acting attorney general, shouldn't his office be in a theater?

@heidilifeldman

From really really really bad to even worse…
