Venezuela, to the Trump administration, is about oil, not the Venezuelan people or democracy. There’s no plan for what comes next. Trump’s remarks today confirmed it.

Ryan Goodman really excellent here in explaining what we’ve learned and how much we don’t yet know about Epstein—and what documents we should be on the lookout for, how much DOJ is still stonewalling, what Congress might have to do.

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.
