## Resource

President Trump is set to nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to replace the vacancy left by Pam Bondi. Nancy Cordes is at the White House to report on what led to the decision. Nikole Killion is on Capitol Hill to explain the hours-long Senate Vote-a-Rama in order to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security. She also reports on the breaking New York Times piece where multiple women who used to date Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner came forward to discuss his behavior. Major interviews Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, about the anti-weaponization fund and whether there are plans to revise it. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey joins on-set after attending the President’s coal announcement today to detail what it would mean for the workers in his state. All that and more, right here on The Takeout!
