Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump.
At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

REPORTER: Is there now a place for the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers in the political conversation following your pardons?

WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

I left X the day after the election, tried threads. I'm new here, I'm trying to figure out Bluesky. I need news and positivity, still in shock. Trying to find glimmers of hope and the strength to fight.
