Trump says he's pardoned Tina Peters, but that may not save her from prison Trump has no jurisdiction over state-level cases to offer the pardon.

I don’t want to see “experts say Trump can’t pardon a state conviction.”

That’s like “experts say sun rises in east, and some scientists claim water is two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom.”

It’s just a fact.

He CANNOT do this.

And the media DAMN well better get their coverage right.

I am not seeing many Trump flags at all on boats in Dana Point harbor. The only other time in the last decade they’ve been down like this is after January 6th. Huh.

Rich OC people don’t want to be publicly associated with him anymore I guess. Nothing to see here! 🤡🤡

Kristi “Hateful Bitch” Noem thinks she’s doing good work by deporting combat veterans-a recipient of a Purple Heart-who took two bullets while defending the United States. I’m still seething. We will defeat these fascist MF’ers

Perfect encapsulation of the entire diseased industry. Save the real news for the self-serving, brand-building book deal, which gets released months or years after it might have affected world events only to be read by dozens of fellow Beltway gossip addicts.

The cosmic body horror version of that.

Kristi Noem was crushed on so many fronts during this hearing today that she resorted to lying to get out early. In an exchange with Rep Goldman she refused to take responsibility for grabbing people within the system, and in typical Maga form blames Biden when she can't defend the indefensible 😑

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

"She's got a wonderful boy. And she's very proud of her boy" is a pretty weird way for a dad to talk about his own son. They're all such bizarrely monstrous people.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.

But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

Trump is now directly threatening Indiana lawmakers that if they refuse to pass his preferred gerrymander, he’ll strip the state of federal funding. Not metaphorically, literally.

There is no good argument for not taxing the rich. Trickle down economics has been shown many times, in many places, to work only for the wealthy. The idea that if the top has money, their spending will help the economy does not account for greed! Make them pay their share!

"What signal would that send if Republicans say, 'Yeah, we're going to say no to the Democrats' [healthcare] plan, but we're not going to offer anything?'...The message that will send is, good luck to the American people, and we don't really care."

A nation aching in crowded halls,
Where healing waits behind long walls.
Broken systems, rising fears,
Families drowning in silent tears.
Hope demands we stand and see—
Care must be a right, not a luxury.

Wow. Lindsey Halligan made only one error in filing her notice of appearance.

Robert McBride filed as her, and she filed as him.

Why can't Trump's eye candy lawyer tell between a man and a woman?
