"Terrifying" is the correct word. The level of abdication here by Trump and Republicans who are looking the other way through all this is a true horror.
Trump’s use of the pardon power and his administration’s actions in the Caribbean have been monstrously villainous.
But as @gregsargent.bsky.social stresses, they’ve also been dangerously, recklessly uninformed. Trump is often acting on shoddy intel or no intel at all. It’s frankly terrifying.

I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District because families and workers deserve a fair shot. Costs keep rising while salaries aren’t - and MAGA Republicans are cutting food & health care to fund corporate tax breaks instead of defending Virginia’s families.
