If Sen #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) remains absent from the #Senate, 3 #Republican votes against #ToddBlanche would sink his nomination for US AG. Senator #LisaMurkowski (R-AK) became Friday morning the 2nd Republican to say she would oppose his nomination in a floor vote, joining Sen #SusanCollins (R-ME). Sen #BillCassidy (R-LA) has not announced his position, but his opposition could lead to Blanche’s rejection. #Democrats uniformly oppose his nomination.

In addition to ‘concerned’ #SusanCollins , #Alaska Senator #LisaMurkowski has said she will vote ‘No’ on the confirmation of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/08/07/congress/lisa-murkowski-opposes-todd-blanche-01028553
Since #MitchMcConnell will abstain from hell, only two #Republicans will be given ‘permission’ to vote ‘No’ by #Republican ‘leadership’, and neither #JohnCornyn of #Texas nor #ThomTillis of #NorthCarolina were given their balls back yet by #Trump.
So that puts #BillCassidy on the Louisiana 🌶️ seat!

Both #Republican US Senator #BillCassidy of Louisiana & #Democratic US Senator #PattyMurray of Washington said the June 25 & 26 meeting should be postponed.
The summary of the presentation suggested that there are enough thimerosal-free #flu #vaccines & that all #pregnant #women, #infants & #children should receive only those shots. It was not clear if the new advisory panel would be asked to vote on such a move.
