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.

Summary

The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general in a 54-46 vote, solidifying a key Trump ally at the Justice Department.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is expected to reshape the DOJ, which has faced mass firings of officials linked to Trump-related investigations.

She has echoed Trump’s claims of a “weaponized” justice system and refused to rule out prosecuting his adversaries.

    Democrats sure seem to want to work with Republicans, which leftist policies have they adopted?

    Single payer healthcare, student loan debt relief, capital gains tax, increasing corporate tax rate, legal marijuana, all the UBI experiments have been done in democratic locations and that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.

    The only thing stopping democrats from getting legislation passed is seats in Congress.

    Leftist haven’t been able to get elected for barely any congressional seats so our leftist legislation is only as successful as leftist are at getting elected.

    But leftist look for any reason to not vote (genocide or whatever the hot topic is that election cycle) and refuse to work with other ideologies. So they never get enough votes to actually get anything passed. The sad thing is they end up blaming democrats for their inability to get anything done so they never learn from their mistakes.
