Twenty brave attorneys general from a diverse array of Republican-led states have joined forces to make a compelling case for the swift confirmation of President-elect Donald Trump’s key nominees. This is not just a casual plea; it’s a well-timed, pointed reminder that America needs its national security team at the ready. Led by the intrepid Attorney General Liz Murrill from Louisiana, these legal warriors penned a letter urging the Senate to confirm Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, Pam Bondi as Attorney General, and Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Clearly, Americans recognize that in this chaotic political climate, introducing America First leaders is essential—and necessary without delay.
The attorneys general have highlighted that the urgency is particularly pressing. With the New Year’s chaos fresh in the memory and a looming threat in the background, they argue that anything less than immediate action is unacceptable. The letter sent to Senate leaders directly calls out the Biden administration for its track record, which they claim has endangered Americans with reckless policies that have effectively rolled out the red carpet for illegal immigrants. So while the left fiddles, seemingly content to leave the borders open, the right is prepared with a national security strategy based on the principle that stopping direct threats to citizens is a basic function of government.

Of course, one can’t have a discussion about this administration without a nod to the dismal performance of the FBI and DOJ under President Biden. With crime rates skyrocketing in urban centers and the FBI caught in a lie about their crime stats, the call from these attorneys general is for reform. Instead of prioritizing public safety and the right enforcement of the law, it seems the FBI has shifted its focus to labeling concerned parents as “domestic terrorists” while conservative Catholics are being treated with suspicion. Bondi and Patel are seen as the dream team needed to recalibrate these agencies back to protecting citizens rather than punishing dissent.
The letter signifies a united front among these states’ top legal officers. From Alabama’s Steve Marshall to Texan Ken Paxton, they represent a coalition committed to restoring order and safety in their jurisdictions. The presence of strong Republican leadership in these states underscores a growing movement to reestablish the rule of law as a central tenet of governance. Each attorney general is determined to ensure that President Trump has the right people in place to promptly tackle these urgent challenges.
As Bondi’s confirmation hearing unfolds and Noem prepares for hers, the anticipation is palpable. The stakes are high, and the nation watches as Trump’s nominees get grilled over their plans to address the lawlessness that has seeped into the streets—and into the corridors of power. With Patel set to step in once Wray vacates the FBI throne, one can’t help but feel a sense of optimism from conservatives who have long awaited a return to law and order. In a country where the battle lines are increasingly drawn, it’s refreshing—if not downright invigorating—to see principled leaders step forward with a clear agenda.
