Similarly the big reason we never got a vote on Puerto Rican statehood was objections from the squad and from Velázquez.

Politics is unfortunately a super opaque industry, it's easy to get sucked into the kayfabe narratives that get pushed to the base to suck money out of them.

The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.

But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
