The Republican Party as we\u2019ve known it officially died this week as Acting Attorney General Todd \u201cTrumpsimp\u201d Blanche\u2019s nomination essentially became inevitable. The personal lawyer of a convicted felon adjudicated rapist Epstein Bestie will almost certainly be the Attorney General of the United States of America.<\/p>

Blanche will be remembered as the biggest traitor of them all, selling his spine to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin for a currently unknown reason. It\u2019s clear all of the Republicans have a price, or else we\u2019d either be enjoying President Joe Biden\u2019s second term or President Kamala Harris\u2019s first. <\/p>

Blanche\u2019s fellow spineless co-conspirators in the biggest political cover-up in American history are celebrating a hollow victory at the moment. How quickly they\u2019ve forgotten Lindsey Graham and his tarnished legacy. If they think Trump wouldn\u2019t rap his knuckles on their coffins, they\u2019re very wrong. He\u2019d step over the bodies of his grandchildren to escape a burning building and then blame them for starting the fire. I don\u2019t know why Trumpublicans haven\u2019t learned that their loyalty is never going to be returned, but I guess worrying about a mean tweet is more important than the lives of roughly 349 million Americans.<\/p>

This farce played out by these fascists is fully insulting to all of us who have a functioning brain. It\u2019s bad enough they\u2019ve all remained silent while Trump vandalizes Washington, DC to make America look even weaker on the global stage, but that they remain willing accomplices is beyond anything the Founders could have imagined when they wrote the Constitution. <\/p>

Donald Trump had to pay E. Jean Carroll the $5.6 million he owed her, and the Republicans said nothing.<\/p>

Capital One just revealed in a federal court filing that it closed more than 300 <\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/em>bank accounts affiliated with the Trump Organization in 2021 due to \u201cinternal anti-money laundering concerns,\u201d not political motivations, so Republicans said nothing.<\/p>

Those two stories alone would have ended anyone else\u2019s political career, but as it\u2019s been repeatedly stated ad nauseum over these last 11 years of Trumpblight, nothing seems to stick to this guy. <\/p>

Except the Epstein Files. <\/p>

It\u2019s so on brand (which means, it\u2019s completely infuriating) for 2026 that Todd \u201cTrumpsimp\u201d Blanche barely made the deadline to hand over the unredacted files to a federal judge just days before his rescheduled confirmation vote. We should be forever grateful to Katie Phang<\/u>, because the truth is going to come out one way or another.<\/p>

I\u2019m not enjoying being a witness to this kind of history, but I\u2019m grateful that my two Democratic Senators (from Oregon) aren\u2019t just sitting there and taking what the GOP\u2019s razor-thin majority is doing to our democracy.<\/p>

First, Sen. Ron \u201cChutzpah\u201d Wyden cleverly timed the Tuesday release of his into the Wall Street banks that funded Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s international sex trafficking ring. I know it\u2019s not going to impact how Senate Republicans will vote, but when you follow the money, as Sen. Chutzpah and team have done diligently, you can\u2019t help but wonder who else\u2019s names are connected to those wire transfers that the Trump administration has declined to investigate.<\/p>

This screenshot has lived on my phone since November 2025. My Senator DELIVERS, yo.<\/p>

I can also share that I\u2019m going to have a chat about all of this with Sen. Wyden once he\u2019s home in Portland, and yes, there will be video one way or another. If I know him (which I\u2019m lucky to say that I do), he\u2019ll be in Portland very little, taking the August break to hold more Town Halls around Oregon as we face an increasingly scary fire season.<\/p>

Just another thing Republicans don\u2019t care about, as Trump has made drastic cuts to FEMA and we basically have no EPA while Interior Secretary Doug \u201cBurgumeister\u201d Burgum gleefully ignores Trump\u2019s destruction of all of our natural resources as well as the Reflecting Pool.<\/p>

As we fret over the fragility of our democracy, my other Senator, Jeff Merkley, has introduced the along with co-sponsors Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT). <\/p>

\u201cAuthoritarianism isn\u2019t down the street or around the corner\u2014it is here right now,\u201d said Sen. Merkley. \u201cWe have all three ingredients of a strongman state in the United States: a rubber-stamp Congress doing the President\u2019s bidding; a deferential Supreme Court finding \u2018invisible ink\u2019 in the Constitution to enhance the President\u2019s powers; and a power-hungry President behaving like a king, breaking the law and violating the checks and balances of our Constitution.\u201d<\/p>

With \u201cnew provisions to counter the rise of authoritarianism and erosion of our democratic government under the second Trump Administration, as well as existing legislation,\u201d the For the Republic Act outlines the steps to fight back against the known playbook of authoritarian governments:<\/p>

That\u2019s where we are as a nation, Dear Readers, and it\u2019s all because the Republicans don\u2019t want us to know about the kompromat Putin has on all of them.<\/p>

Therefore, this is where I\u2019m going to ask you to take action beyond sharing this piece. I\u2019m giving you permission to be furiously angry at the Republicans who got us here. <\/p>

Unlike Sen. Chutzpah, I don\u2019t expect Republicans to hold any Town Halls during their August recess, but if they do, I expect you to show up and show up MAD. Fighting fascism has never been easy or pretty, but it\u2019s necessary, like cleaning your toilet. Except toilets serve a purpose, unlike Republicans.<\/p>

If they can\u2019t handle being yelled at, then they should resign. I can give you some questions to ask if you\u2019re feeling shy:<\/p>

  1. Why is Trump more important to you than we are?<\/li>
  2. Why are you covering up the Epstein Files?<\/li><\/ol>

    Everyone in the room would want those answers. You won\u2019t get any real answers, but you\u2019ll get great footage to share. They don\u2019t deserve any peace after what they\u2019ve done to our democracy. We need to use our voices like never before.<\/p>
