"The saga of Mr. Braun, who in 2011 pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering, demonstrates how Mr. Trump’s handling of pardons and commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality."
We need a Trump Pardon Recidivism Tracker.

Hang this shit around his and his supine Congress' neck.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

The U.S. university system was once the best in the world.
Trump and his hyper-conservative masters are ready to destroy America’s world-class universities unless they get to force their ideology on students.

This is yet another fascist push by the MAGAts.
