The university of Michigan released its consumer confidence index.
US consumer confidence is at the lowest level since 1951.
Trump tanked the economy in his first term!
Is he’s doing it to us again?

First, Trump pardoned the violent insurrectionists who beat cops.
Now, he pardons the key instigators of January 6th.
We need to see this for what it is:
An attempt to erase history, so it can be repeated.

Though none of the crooks have been charged Federally yet, my suspicion is either Bondi or Patel (or both?) found evidence of investigations into each and every co-conspirator named.
The Felon In Chief decided on preemptive pardons to stop any future DOJ from charging them or digging even deeper.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

13) I think Dem leadership still suffers from frame drag. They think it's the 90s. Trump is dismantling the powers of Congress. They have to rise to that moment and demand big things.
Vought is expanding the playing field to thinks off the table. Dems need to do the same.

What was the Dem ldrship negotiating strategy? Pretend to be one way to the public and another in private. Not good.

These are paper pardons with no teeth as NONE of the people he “pardoned” were charged federally.
The Felon’s pardon power only covers fed charges, not the state charges they face or faced, so this is basically symbolic fodder for Foxnews & The Felon’s starving base to distract from shutdown pain.

The full clip may be even worse. He explains that it “didn’t work” bc Trump took advantage of it to do a bunch of unlawful things. This is the same elite cowardice that has gotten us exactly nowhere. “Gosh, Trump is breaking the law and hurting people. Guess we’d better cave.”

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
