This raises the question of whether Todd Blanche knew Trump intended to appeal-and was therefore lying to Congress when he testified about it But the more troubling issue is, if the Acting Attorney General committed perjury, who will prosecute him And can you impeach an interim AG

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, facing ethics inquiries for misconduct, has threatened to strip state scholarships from Catholic schools unless the Church rewrites its vaccine doctrine. It is an unprecedented attack by an American state on the religious liberty of the Catholic Church.

Florida’s MAGA Attorney Threatens to Defund Catholic Schools Over Vaccine Mandate
Florida’s attorney general gave the bishops until August 7 to accept vaccine exemptions their own doctrine calls dishonest. Nearly nine in ten of the state’s Catholic school students sit downstream.

Toddler-in-chief, Felon Trump, seeing his Golden Boy Blanche tanking, threatens to keep the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement and our Capitol. That slush fund is dead from the get-go per a federal judge so Trump is barking up the wrong tree as usual.

This really made me laugh this morning: if middle income people and poor people understood that they should just buy assets with high returns, they wouldn't be middle income or poor! Silly dumb dumbs. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/o...
Now, if you think of this, the reason there are not people in the street protesting it is because about half the country’s suffering under this, and half the country is benefiting from this. I always say that there’s a lot of folks who get very upset about people who have gotten wealthy and investors and all this kind of stuff. It’s really a knowledge gap more than anything else. The wealth inequality gap in America really just comes down to a knowledge gap.

What I mean by that is there’s about half of the country who understands if you hold cash, it loses value every single year. Instead, if you convert that cash into assets, whether it is stocks, real estate, or cryptocurrency or whatever, over time they will go up because the dollar is going down.
