Disgraced former congressman George Santos released from prison in New Jersey Trump commuted Santos’s seven-year sentence for fraud and identity theft after he had served less than three months

Stunning! So now Trump alone decides who goes to jail and who doesn't.

Apparently, he's not only the nation's top cop, he's also its top judge and jury.

And top criminal.

The problem is, Trump thinks Putin is the key to peace in Ukraine when, in fact, Ukraine is the key because Putin will never "agree" to peace without domination. That is not peace. That is surrender for Ukraine and Europe. Peace is only possible when Ukraine puts an end to Russian aggression.

And nobody can dispute him because nobody except Trump and the Russians know what was said, and Trump's brain is too full of holes to process lies, let alone nuance.

How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history "He who controls the present controls the past."

New in PN: How the Supreme Court taught Trump to rewrite history

"If you’re wondering where Trump learned the trick of recasting American history as uniquely belonging to him, look no further than the current Supreme Court’s manipulation of the core legal principle of stare decisis."

"There's confirmation the Russians are using double terror - hitting with "Shaheds" with cluster munitions, they're inflicting repeated strikes to injure firefighters + energy workers who are working on restoring damage."

Nobody in the US, least of all Trump and his goons, cares that Ukrainian civilians are being bombed. They only care that Ukraine takes out Russian gas & oil facilities, an advantage for US producers (Trump donors): reduce worldwide glut, raise prices. Ukraine knows this.
