"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

"But the true message—the prospective message—is that pardons will be available to everyone who joins him in election subversion in 2026 and 2028. This wave of preemptive pardons is a permission slip, an encouragement for election subversion in the future."

Pardon the Corruption
Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

"Vance is welcoming Nazis in all but name into the GOP. Their oft-stated goal is an ethnic cleansing of the United States and the vice president’s family. And Vance has moved to form a coalition with them, while the press cannot even attempt to explain to America what this means." @thefarce.org
Last week, JD Vance became the de facto leader of the Republican Party, a role he could potentially hold through the 2060s.

And how did he greet his power? By welcoming gutter racists who love Hitler and spew hatred at his wife into the GOP.
JD Vance now leads the GOP. And he wants the party to welcome Hitler lovers.
The VP wants peace with gutter racists who spew vile hatred at his wife. And the press refuses to reckon with what this means.

Democrats weren't going to win. They were going to force Republicans to kill the filibuster. WIthout the filibuster they would be forced in power to pass a lot of things they don't want to pass.

Absolutely foolish, nonsensical, and weak line of “attack” against the Affordable Care Acts.

It improved the lives of 24 million people who didn’t have insurance.

It didn’t do a single thing to worsen the already highly disorganized dynamics of American Healthcare.

These jerks went to the Bean this morning where they took a picture where instead of saying “cheese” they said “Little Village” - the name of the community they terrorized over the weekend.

The only good thing is we will be handing over this picture to the Illinois Accountability Commission.
Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Pretty fitting that Trump's "electors" receive pardons that are just as fake as they are.
Trump claims he "pardoned" his fake electors. He doesn't have that power.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.
