Other short answers: corruption, dishonesty, greed, criminal, anti-American ...
Why would the Trump administration, which is hell bent on punishing drug traffickers, pardon a kingpin like Juan Orlando Hernández?

Short answer: To appease the tech bros of Silicon Valley.
Why did Trump pardon the former Honduran president? Follow the Tech Bros.

Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

LEAVITT: I would respond and say the president is exercising his constitutional authority

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

As always, read @juliametraux.bsky.social: "The White House has made it even harder for disabled and chronically ill people who want to work to find accessible jobs, especially as more companies roll back work-from-home policies, and as the job market craters amid tariffs and slow growth."
Medicaid work requirements are just bad. But, as I wrote for @motherjones.com, there’s an extra level of vileness going on with them being implemented as more work-from-home jobs disappear.

“Never politicians, lobbyists, or special interests.”

What Coughlin doesn’t say is that the “small business” he touts was in fact a lobbying firm.
