The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general. Her confirmation puts a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.

The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.

With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.

Democrats need to do better.

    Wait wait wait…

    His rationale for turning republican is that he’s had a sudden mental & cognative decline? He’s actually admitted that?

    “Hey Republicans, since having a brain injury I now align with everything your Nazi party is trying to achieve…”

      He DID have a stroke yes. And he claims it “cleansed him of his liberalism”

      He spent the campaign before the stroke talking about how progressive he was and progressive policy was the only path forward…

      After the stroke and election, he openly admits to not understanding why people would ever think he’s progressive…

      Either he’s lying and it was all scam, or he legitimately doesn’t remember anything about his own campaign and what he was saying during it.

      Either is a good reason to kick him out of the party (and office), but Dem leadership has only cared about defending incumbents without question. Because most of the Dem leadership represent voters who don’t agree with them anymore.

      So if the party stops blindly defending incumbents and starts having unbiased primaries, a lot of Dem leadership will lose their personal power.

        Dem leadership has already lost all power. Speculating on how to fix the party is like talking about how to fix a window on a house that just burned down.

          So Schumer and Pelosi arent calling shots?

          Did that just happen, I completely missed it…

          Last I heard they were still fighting progress and complying with fascists

            No, I’m talking about the country. It doesn’t matter what the democrats do; they will never be in power again because you can’t vote out fascism.

              Oh ok…

              This is one of those things where a brand new account attempts to convince people there’s no way to win and we should all give up.

              Not many people fall for that these days, so I don’t think this needs my attention
