BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

First this administration engages in all sorts of misdirection about the second strike on the boat.
Now they’ve just decided to try and pin it on an admiral to save Pete Hegseth’s job.
It’s repulsive to see tough-guy Hegseth scamper for cover. He should resign.

![“The loss of retirement income has made a significant impact on our daily lives. Our
inability to meet our housing expenses necessitated in us taking on credit card debt to
maintain our home in which we provide housing for our handicapped son. You can
imagine the anxiety this has caused us in providing for his and our needs. We now
have over $100,000.00 in credit card debt in addition to the interest we have incurred
to allow us to maintain our mortgage and remain in our home. At the time of this
investment we had NO credit card debt! As elderly senior citizens at the age of 82 and
76 our ability to find additional income is extremely limited. We are now at a point of
looking at our belongings to sell to allow us to stay in our home. The emotional stress
of this has taken a fiscal and mental toll on our ability to function. We felt we planned
well for our retirement years and feel robbed by the actions of this crime.” D.E. DOJ0002356.
• “Since the GPB fraud stated, we have lost well over half of our family[’]s net worth
[and] a large portion of our income . . . At 74, I have been unable to retire now. My
wife [] has contracted cancer and has ongoing treatment. And our daughter [], who has
cerebral palsy, has had to ensure the ensuring stress from all of that.” M.F. DOJ0001930.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifj3ulaoxnrnhbrk7z2gnegme22juwnwnj45xuwopak457jjg2kue@jpeg)
