  • Today in the group chat,

  • we're talking about new Attorney General Todd Blanche refuses to pledge independence from Trump.

  • Was it naive to think he would?

  • And Democrats finalized their 2028 calendar.

  • Racially diverse states will be up first.

  • How does that help the party find its strongest candidate?

  • And right now, the president's son-in-law looking for a deal for Gaza.

  • He says he's got Hamas on board.

  • So will Israel also agree?

  • And 30 years later, Tupac's murder trial set to begin today.

  • Will we see justice?

  • Did you have anything to do with the murder of Tupac Shakur?

  • Good morning, everybody.

  • I'm Adi Cornish.

  • And if you're the attorney general of the U.S., who exactly do you work for?

  • Todd Blanche has officially been in that job for a week.

  • Some Republican senators voted against his nomination because they questioned whether

  • the president's former criminal defense attorney could lead an independent Justice Department.

  • On NBC on Sunday, Blanche was asked if he could pledge his department would act independently of the White House.

  • No, I'm not going to pledge that.
