WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a confirmation hearing today in response to President Donald Trump’s nomination of his personal lawyer Todd Blanche to become the next U.S. attorney general, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Katie Bethell released the following statement: “Todd Blanche’s record of blind loyalty to Trump over allegiance to the law and his country is disqualifying, full stop.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats rejected for the 10th time Thursday a stopgap spending bill that would reopen the government, insisting they won’t back away from demands that Congress take up health care benefits. The vote failed on a 51-45 tally, well short of the 60 needed to advance with the Senate’s filibuster rules. The repetition of votes on the funding bill has become a daily drumbeat in Congress, underscoring how intractable the situation has become. It has been at times the only item on the agenda for the Senate…

Cher has a new autobiography, “The Memoir,” which runs just over 400 pages, but apparently, that’s only half the story. We know that because the subtitle of the book, published in mid-November, is “Part 1.” “Part 2”—due out in mid-November 2025, but already available online for preorder by Cher’s biggest fans—presumably will be equally hefty. Why else would there be a second volume coming? The pop diva, 78, apparently is trying to give fellow chanteuse Barbra Streisand, 82, who in November 2023 came out with an autobiography of her own,…

By MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting Let’s face it: We’ve got a lot of work to do to fight back against a second Donald Trump term. Those of us who were working to stop Trump simply did not turn out enough votes in enough states to win the White House. While we are processing and preparing for the grave implications of Trump’s return, this reality requires us to do serious, sober reflection about how we arrived here and show creativity and curiosity in charting the path forward.  There is still…
