NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions.
"This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Hey Democrats: Schumer wouldn't even endorse Mamdani or say who he voted for. Maybe, just maybe, stop letting him lead the Senate Dems?
Establishment Dems: “We just had a sweeping win proving people want us to fight for them and that we can beat the fascists.”
Also Establishment Dems: “Quick, back to capitulating!”
What an utterly spineless and embarrassing political party.

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.
If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
