One detail of Blanche’s career not mentioned (and which I’d forgotten): in May 2025, after Blanche had been confirmed as deputy attorney general, the current occupant named him librarian of Congress. That gives an idea of how much respect the occupant has for librarianship. But the title didn’t stick.
