Presidential pardons were never meant to be a clearance sale. They were designed as a constitutional pressure valve used sparingly, carefully, and with moral weight.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

It's been almost five years since Donald Trump led an angry mob to the Capitol with a gallows and noose in tow.
Now he's calling for members of Congress to be hanged.
To my Republican colleagues:
When are you going to stand up against this violent dictator?

I can repost this with no context whatsoever and you'll all know who he's talking about. 😂
You got wormfished by a guy who eats roadkill and looks like fucking Krang. A guy you were tasked with covering neutrally, for half a milly a year, while he ran for fucking president on an "every disabled person should die" ticket.
Well, now your career is back, and so is measles. Well done.

I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.
End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

This is heart breaking. Doesn't anyone at ICE review these cases?
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Republican cuts to Medicaid and SNAP won’t just hurt middle-class families—they’ll tank our economy.
Soon, we’ll lose:
➡️ 1.2 million jobs
➡️ $12.2 billion for state and local budgets
Plus, more expensive health care and food.
All for tax cuts billionaires don't need.
