The DOJ goes after people and other entities who
act or speak against Trump or Musk.

Hold up all confirmations, Dems!

Unfortunately, there was not a single Republican NO. This will be a 53-47 vote.

Dick Durbin Votes 'No' On Advancing President Trump's Pick To Be Attorney General, Pam Bondi
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, voted against advancing President Trump’s pick to be Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi.

“Given the massive upheaval that President Trump has caused at the Justice Department in just the first few days in office, the next Attorney General will have their work cut out for them. As I said during Ms. Bondi’s hearing, it is absolutely critical that any nominee for this position be committed first and foremost to the Constitution and the American people—not the President and his political agenda. Unfortunately, I am unconvinced that Ms. Bondi shares my belief. She is one of four personal lawyers of President Trump that he has already selected for top positions at the Department of Justice. And she has echoed President Trump’s calls for exacting revenge on his political opponents.”
