Washington is consumed by confirmation battles this week. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced a high-stakes hearing where Democrats focused on his past defense of Trump and questioned his independence. At the same time, CDC nominee Erica Schwartz and intel chief pick Jay Clayton are also appearing before committees, making for a pivotal stretch in shaping Trump's second-term cabinet. Outside the hearing rooms, legal and political fallout continues. A bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission found that Elon Musk likely broke state law by handing $1 million checks to voters during the state Supreme Court race. And Trump endorsed MyPillow founder Mike Lindell for Minnesota governor, rewarding one of the most vocal election denial figures. The president is also expected to deliver a primetime address tonight, likely reinforcing his campaign themes. On the policy front, New York Governor Kathy Hochul ordered a one-year pause on new data centers, citing energy grid strain. ICE halted most vehicle stops after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine. The House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, though Senate action remains uncertain. Separately, a broad coalition led by Al Sharpton and the King family announced a March for Democracy next month, while key House Democrats expressed support for an amendment to cancel Israel defense funding, signaling a fracture in foreign policy consensus.
