Trump pardoned Henry Cuellar, the Texas Democrat who was indicted by the Biden DOJ on charges of bribery and money laundering.
We have policy disagreements with the last anti-abortion Democrat in Congress. But that’s not what this is about.
Cuellar is now compromised by Trump and can’t be trusted.

The President Who Never Grew Up

By 2025, Trump & US have almost exclusively passed EO's and legislation beneficiary to Israel and in particular Netanyahu's closest collaborators and 3rd party buyers. They've also managed to install Israeli intelligence more prominently in US security infrastructure through Thiel and others. 7/

I’m not trying to be alarmist. But, parts of MAGA have been radicalized to a degree most people can’t imagine. They hate you. They are actively organizing violence against you. Ignoring it or downplaying it will only leave you unprepared when it matters most. The Trump regime will not protect you.
