Blanche's Nomination Stalls Amid GOP Rift | Boise News

The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed voting on Todd Blanche’s nomination as acting Attorney General by a week, citing procedural reasons — and a notable absence of key Republicans, which Chairman Chuck Grassley called “rude.” Democrats, led by Cory Booker, pushed back hard, holding a forum featuring Epstein survivors and former Justice Department officials, citing Blanche’s troubling past: mishandling Epstein case files and his role in a Trump-era fund. Senators like Dick Durbin oppose him, fearing his loyalty to Trump over the public. Grassley defended Blanche, claiming the Justice Department thrived under his leadership. The committee’s new member, Darline Graham, may tip the balance in Blanche’s favor. The real test? Whether GOP holdouts like Tillis and Cornyn — who’ve clashed with Trump — will ultimately support him. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Meridian's License Plate Debate | Boise News

In Meridian, Idaho, a heated debate rages over license plate reader cameras—seen by some as invasive “constant mass monitoring” and by police as a secure, privacy-respecting tool. While critics demand transparency and accountability, the Meridian PD insists their Axon system is fully controlled by the department, with no third-party access or data sales, and automatic deletion after 30 days unless tied to an investigation. They’ve even credited the tech with nine recent arrests. As city council weighs public dashboards and audits, the tension between safety and privacy continues to simmer—with more discussions planned for fall.
