i tell you what, if Democrats win the elections in 2026 and 2028, one of the biggest mistakes they could make is to talk about uniting the country by not prosecuting all of the lawbreakers and corruption of Trump administration officials. One reason we are here today is Ford's pardon of Nixon.

This is what is happening.
We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

A likely explanation for Trump being so nice is that is what his Gulf state benefactors wanted. Zohran is probably more popular in those countries than they are (especially among the young). Trump being mean would cause problems for them and jeopardize their investment in him.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.
And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.
But he needs a law for this?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Friends, you have three hours to get those ballots to a ballot box. Make it so.
Less than 20% of registered voters across WA had returned their ballots as of 5 p.m. Monday. That puts the state on track for record low turnout. Data shows returns lagging even in places with high-profile contests for offices like county executive and mayor. Voters can return ballots until 8 p.m.
