This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Trump and Hegseth's "Department of War" rebranding is more than just a name. It signals their vision of a force that disdains legality, as if whoever commits the most war crimes wins.

Someone should tell Mike Johnson that the “Know Nothing Party” was not a literal appellation.
People should also be asking him if he’s lying or truly ignorant of all these important issues and which he thinks is more disqualifying.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

Monthly DoD payroll is ~$16 billion. This supposed "gift" would cover less than 1% of that amount.
If split evenly among active duty service members, each would get just under $100.
Reporters who don't challenge on this are committing egregious malpractice.
