Steven Bradbury authored some of the cruelest Bush-era torture memos that provided bogus legal cover for torture techniques like waterboarding. Now, he’s up for a top post in Trump’s Department of Transportation — and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is trying to push him through this afternoon.

Trump has dropped multiple hints that he is considering bringing back the worst torture policies that Bradbury helped make possible. Approving Bradbury will help legitimize Trump's hankering to bring back torture as a tool for the United States government. We can’t let that happen. We’ve got to flood the Senate phone lines with monumental opposition to Bradbury today.
