My talk at Garrett College last night focused mostly on a 5-year-old American citizen and her American mother and grandmother, imprisoned by the Nazis in WW2. They were then separated for almost 10 years.

At least 33 of the Jan 6 insurrectionists pardoned by Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since the attack.
But that doesn’t matter to Trump. All he cares about is loyalty — and he’s rewarding it through his pardon scheme.
