I just left court advocating on behalf of 26 U.S. Attorney candidates who have been denied the opportunity for a Senate hearing - effectively blocking their confirmation and blocking Congress’s ability to provide advice and consent.  The continued invocation of blue slips, a tradition not a rule, demonstrates a politically motivated effort to impede the President’s constitutional authority to appoint U.S. Attorneys.   The President appoints individuals to carry out the mission of this administration and that mandate should be respected.  When millions of Americans voted for a change in leadership in November, they voted for a new direction.  That choice should not be undermined by political obstruction in Congress or by criminal defendants.   To date, I have not had so much as a single conversation with New Jersey Senators, despite repeated outreach. That is not how the process should work in a functioning democracy. Still, that will not stop the Department of Justice from continuing the meaningful progress we’ve made under this administration.   Since my arrival, Newark has seen a 20% reduction in crime. Camden recently experienced its first summer in 50 years without a single homicide. These outcomes are not accidental, and these numbers do not lie.  My office will continue to deliver real results for the citizens of this state and we are not slowing down.  The mission is clear: to protect our communities, drive down violent crime, and hold accountable those who defraud, exploit, or abuse the public trust.

"I feel like there has to be some karma..." Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Wednesday she would "strongly consider" a run for the U.S. Senate amid a redistricting battle in her state.

🚨BREAKING: Clint Eastwood says: "One day we will realize that the Barack Obama presidency was the biggest FRAUD ever perpetrated on the American people." Do you agree with Clint Eastwood? YES or NO?

Stephanie White. You are the coach of the year. I could care less about the awards that were given out. No one in the game could push this team as far as you did. One of one.

Referee Isaac Barnett showed incredible care and compassion towards Kelsey Mitchell tonight when she needed help. WNBA officials have taken a lot of criticism lately. He deserves praise for this.

Meet Judge Bentley Price. He released Alexander Dickey after just 410 days of a 1,825 day sentence. 22.5% Dickey was in prison for 3rd degree burglary (downgraded from 1st degree) It was his 39th arrest and 25th felony. He left prison and murdered Logan Federico. Insane.

Indiana Fever are now 3-0 when facing elimination this postseason. One win from the WNBA Finals. I love this team so much
