The Department of Justice exists to fairly uphold the law for all of us – not serve the interests of one man. A vote to confirm him is a rejection of justice and accountability in our country. Your senator has a choice. Tell them to vote NO on Blanche's confirmation NOW!

As acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche has overseen the IRS deal, which has given the president and his family full immunity from audits for past returns as part of an unprecedented and corrupt settlement. He tried to push through a corrupt slush fund to reward January 6 rioters. He’s had blatant ethics violations, and has weaponized the DOJ to go after civil society groups and Trump critics.

President Trump nominated his own defense attorney, Todd Blanche, to become Attorney General. The Department of Justice is supposed to investigate powerful people when they break the law. If the president's lawyer runs the DOJ, who is it really working for?

People making decisions that affect our lives should not be in a position to profit from insider information, especially not on war. We deserve transparency, accountability, and rules that actually protect our interests. Demand Congress pass real rules now.

The bill would also empower the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to ban prediction market bets on war, violence, terrorism, and other acts deemed contrary to the public interest, while requiring platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi to verify users are at least 18.

A bipartisan group of senators just introduced legislation to crack down on prediction market trading by people in power. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Dave McCormick want to bar federal lawmakers from placing wagers on prediction markets. politico.com/news/2026/04/3…

This sends a chilling message to media companies: content that angers those in power could put their licenses at risk. Our constitution protects freedom of speech. The government shouldn’t punish broadcasters for speech they don't like. Congress can hold the administration to account. It should act.

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said the agency can accelerate license reviews if it has “significant concerns” about whether a broadcaster serves the public interest. ABC’s licenses weren’t due for renewal until at least 2028.

The Trump administration has ordered ABC to seek to renew licenses early for 8 stations – years ahead of schedule – after Melania Trump criticized the network over a Jimmy Kimmel joke. The president called for Kimmel to be fired. npr.org/2026/04/28/nx-…

This is our system. Pay attention. Speak up. Demand that Congress do its job, investigate the DOJ's efforts to wipe the slate on January 6, and protect fairness – because it won’t happen without pressure from us.

If years of investigations, jury verdicts, and court rulings can be undone to help the president’s allies, that sends the message that they’re above the law. It tells them they can get away with anything if it serves the president. And that puts all of us in danger.

Concerns go beyond profits. Lawmakers warn these platforms could exploit national security information or be tracked by foreign intelligence. Congress needs to investigate, set real rules, and shut this down. No one should be cashing in on decisions that affect our lives, especially not war.

These accounts had no other activity, and their only trades were tied to that single event. Other trades show a pattern. One account made about $550,000 betting that the U.S. would strike Iran and that Iran’s leader would be removed from power before the war began.

People are placing bets on war and walking away with millions. Lawmakers are calling for investigations into Polymarket after at least 50 new accounts placed large bets on a U.S.-Iran ceasefire shortly before it was announced by President Trump. npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-…
