"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."

I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.

This is yet another fascist push by the MAGAts.
