Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

Speaking as a government worker:
The paper that our whole professional class reads doesn’t know that it is not normal to end whole agencies lawlessly, shred the Constitution based on laughable legal justification, and kill cancer and Alzheimer’s research???
Either we have failed or they have.
