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.

The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.

With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.

Democrats need to do better.

    Dem leadership has already lost all power. Speculating on how to fix the party is like talking about how to fix a window on a house that just burned down.

        No, I’m talking about the country. It doesn’t matter what the democrats do; they will never be in power again because you can’t vote out fascism.

          Oh ok…

          This is one of those things where a brand new account attempts to convince people there’s no way to win and we should all give up.

          Not many people fall for that these days, so I don’t think this needs my attention
