OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

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.

Senate Dems cave with no guarantees
*senate dems cave because any further holdout would encourage GOP senators to kill the filibuster which moderate Dems want to keep because it shields them from passing popular progressive legislation when Dems are in power*

Bernie Sanders warns the Democrats who are thinking about betraying their base and caving on this pathetic deal that they should go home and talk to their constituents.
Again, I think they've already thought about how their constituents will feel about this and responded accordingly.

Or maybe Senate Democrats are aware of how pissed off voters will be?
This alleged deal guarantees a BILLION dollars in spending for security and police at the Capitol, and then a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that will surely lose.
Not sure a billion will even be enough but OK.
