Trump's transformation of the presidential pardon power into an all-purpose instrument for his most depraved and corrupt instincts is truly horrifying.

Trump’s Pardons Cover Every Conceivable Form of Corruption
He is doling them to crooks, cronies, campaign contributors, violent insurrectionists, child sex offenders, convicted drug dealers, and others

Trump says he is striking boats off Venezuela to stop drugs, mostly cocaine per reports.
Yet he just pardoned the Honduran ex-president who helped push more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S., took a $1 million bribe from El Chapo and bragged he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”

Some of these people reportedly have been forced to work on boats when family members have been kidnapped or threatened.
And what are the odds of mistaken strikes?

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

If we’re going to make post-Trump constitutional changes, I’d prefer something like this - drawing a bright line under certain executive limitations that were presumed to exist before Trump, separating the DOJ further from the president, limiting pardons, and killing unitary executive theory dead

The fascist right will never drop its anti-Ukraine stance, because they want to see Russian aggression succeed.
But can the smaller yet quite vocal anti-anti-Russia left—Chomsky, Quincy Institute, Lula, etc—finally admit that blaming the war on the US and “they won’t even negotiate” were misguided?

Ladies and gentlemen, your Los Angeles Rams are the new No. 1 team in DVOA.
In fact, the Rams are very slightly now No. 1 on both offense (over Colts) and defense (over Texans).
With the current version of DVOA, the only team to be No. 1 in both for a full season was... the 2001 Rams.

Meanwhile, it's being reported this morning that Trump and Pete Hegseth are ramping up their bloodthirsty and incoherent threats to wage land war on Venezuela. Note how the fact that they're threatening to do this unilaterally has been relegated to an afterthought in much of the coverage.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
