President Donald Trump announced that Attorney General Pam Bondi is leaving her position in the administration and will move into the private sector. He described her as a great patriot and a loyal friend, emphasizing appreciation for her service.
Todd Blanche, who has been serving as Deputy Attorney General, will take over as Acting Attorney General effective immediately. Blanche previously worked as one of Trump’s personal attorneys and has been closely involved in the administration’s legal strategy.
Bondi had been serving as Attorney General since early 2025 and played a central role in advancing the administration’s Justice Department priorities, including high profile legal and prosecutorial matters.
Her departure is being presented as a transition rather than a dismissal. There is no indication of conflict surrounding the change, and the tone of the announcement reflects continuity and stability within the administration.
Blanche’s appointment is temporary, with no permanent successor announced at this time. He is expected to maintain the current legal direction of the Justice Department while overseeing its operations during the transition period.
The move represents a significant leadership change at the top of the Department of Justice while keeping leadership within Trump’s inner legal circle.

=============================
When Oscar Peterson appeared on The Dick Cavett Show, he explained jazz with remarkable clarity. He described it as structure first, freedom second. A melody begins the process, then musicians improvise around it using deep knowledge of chords and timing. He stressed that swing cannot be written, it must be felt. Jazz, he said, is a conversation, with players constantly listening and responding to each other. Demonstrating at the piano, he showed how a simple tune transforms through improvisation, making jazz accessible, logical and alive rather than mysterious or random.
