In September, the Trump administration conducted a historic deportation flight to Iran.
We tracked down people deported on the plane.

No shit, Sherlock! Trump has promised to protect lawbreakers who help him since his 2015/6 campaign. In the past, he's been typically unreliable & sloppy about following through. But it's crunch time now & he's making it clear he's seriously committed now.
NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats.
It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

"We will retroactively annul all pardons that the president made for people who acted criminally in order to benefit the president by act of Congress, and if necessary, expand the Supreme Court until the justices agree that we can do this."
It’s not at the top of my list, but we need to reform the pardon power.
"But the true message—the prospective message—is that pardons will be available to everyone who joins him in election subversion in 2026 and 2028. This wave of preemptive pardons is a permission slip, an encouragement for election subversion in the future."

Young folks may think im crazy for putting this out there. But you may need to consider share house options. It's a concept that started in Japan. Where several working adults would put down and split the costs of a shared home. It gives added equity. And eases the burden of payments.
