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!

#Senate advances’measure to limit #Trump #WarPowers in #Iran with #GOP defections
The Senate advanced a measure Tuesday aimed at restricting Trump’s #war powers by requiring approval by #Congress for any future military action in #Iran [the freaking #law].
The measure advanced, 50-47. POS Schizo [colloquial usage] Dem Sen #JohnFetterman joined #Republicans in rejecting it, while GOP Sens #RandPaul, #SusanCollins, #LisaMurkowski & #BillCassidy voted with #Democrats.

One reason #BillCassidy was willing to break with #Trump 5 years ago is that #Louisiana had a different #election system than it does now. From 1975 until this year, the top 2 finishers on Election Day, regardless of party, would face each other in a runoff if neither garnered 50%. That allowed a #Republican like Cassidy to win by assembling a coalition that included #independents & moderate #Democrats.
