Yet, he voted for the guy. Total coward. "Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) seemed not fully sure about how the new U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche might approach November’s midterms." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sen. Cassidy’s ‘existential anxiety’ about whether Blanche will uphold the constitution on elections
Decisions about confirming Blanche for attorney general and whether he'll abide by the Constitution are "not black-or-white," said Cassidy.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk. Blue is walking ahead, and Green follows, turning to look up to the sky over his shoulder.
Green: Do you know what my favourite part of spring is?
Blue: What?

Before Green can answer, two little birds swoop above them, spinning around each other and peeping aggressively. They tumble to the ground, still fighting each other, as Blue and Green watch, fascinated.
Green: Tiny bird brawling season.
Blue: The brutal beauty of nature.

I am American and I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦. Millions of Americans do… and according to a recent poll, 81% do which is a resounding PUBLIC MANDATE! Light up the White House switchboard and call now to support #Ukraine. #SlavaUkraini
The words Slava Ukraini in white text over a flying flag of Ukraine 🇺🇦. 

“Slava Ukraini” is a Ukrainian phrase that translates to “Glory to Ukraine”. It's a national salute and rallying cry that symbolizes Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance to foreign aggression.

This is a screen grab at what used to be on a web page at the Department of State under then President Biden. 

Sentiments of the American people have not changed with the incoming administration as a recent public opinion poll found that a resounding majority/81% of Americans were in support of Ukraine.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.
