CNN: “Trump issued 1,500 pardons in his first month—compared to 212 for Obama over two terms, 189 for Bush over two terms… Has he possibly had enough time in the day to look long and hard at each? He is abusing the presidential pardon."

One cannot go to Hannah Arendt’s work for comfort, Jennifer Szalai writes of the German-born political thinker. What she offers instead is “the company of someone who had direct experience of the horrors of the 20th century yet never relinquished what she called amor mundi, or ‘love of the world.’”

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
