How many turkeys pardoned by Presidents went on to commit other crimes?

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Despite the propaganda (lies) spewed by so many including the show Landman, the average time it takes for a wind turbine to offset it's carbon footprint (construction, installation, maintenance, etc) is around 5 months. and a typical wind turbine typically generates energy for 25 years.

My favorite Spinoza assertion: “Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself.”

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.

And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.

But he needs a law for this?

Exposing children to peanut products earlier in life has resulted in a significant drop in the number of children with peanut allergies in the past decade.

Bush "I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything..." - Barack Obama "Quiet! Quiet Piggy!" - Donald Trump

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—

I hope midterms are a referendum

Kash ordered a team of FBI agents to go through the Epstein files many months ago to redact Trump’s name based on FOIA exemptions 6 and 7. It is highly unlikely they are going to be unredacted before they are released. ONLY victim info should be redacted, but much more will be.

Trump is not have all the mentals. McDonald’s. Water. Sir! (Very strong.) An examination of the president's cognitive functioning at Monday’s McDonald’s summit.

“The president of the United States gave a speech yesterday...I’m going to quote a few sections of his remarks at great length, because if you have not listened to Trump speaking recently, the decline in his cognitive abilities is a bit shocking.”

Don't recall this kind of greeting for President Zelensky, a democratically elected leader who does not dismember his critics.

The thing is

journalists are not subordinate to the government and therefore cannot be insubordinate in questioning the government

Really impressive that Mike Johnson can say with a straight face, "[Trump] has said himself, he has nothing to hide."

I mean, if Trump said it, it must be true!

Honest question: Is Mike Johnson a credulous fool or a shameless liar?

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Wrecked the Cult of Trump The Georgia congresswoman’s extraordinary takedown of Trump Tuesday morning sent a signal that no Republican can now ignore.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's big takedown of Trump today is powerful because it broadcasts that he's losing control over the GOP. His sudden call for release of files wasn't about transparency. It was about sustaining the illusion that he controls the party.

Arrested for Following the Rules The danger of ICE’s strategy of targeting immigrants fulfilling their legal responsibilities.

"For decades, most Americans professed to support an immigration system that encouraged and rewarded people who followed the rules...Now the signal is being sent that following the law will put you in harm’s way."

Contributor: Do our military leaders have the backbone to disobey illegal orders? A recently uncovered memo promises U.S. soldiers immunity for the killing of more than 80 people in boat strikes throughout the Caribbean, effectively conceding it crossed a line.

Retired Navy captain: No law of armed conflict permits execution without combat. No one in those boats justifiably can be labeled a combatant. There is no moral universe in which vaporizing human beings in the middle of the ocean is an act of justice. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Trump Told a Woman, ‘Quiet, Piggy,’ When She Asked Him About Epstein The comment continues the president’s long-standing pattern of denigrating female journalists.

Donald Trump told a journalist, “Quiet, piggy,” when she asked him about Epstein—continuing his pattern of demeaning women, @isabelfattal.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

The Trump administration is “creating a lot of mistrust out there in the world of the United States and its motives. And once you lose trust, I think it is very difficult to restore it,” the historian Margaret MacMillan tells David Frum.

Opinion | The Power Grab That Embodies Trumpism Trump’s actions should alarm anybody who shares the American founders’ suspicion of centralized power.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Trump and his supporters can fairly argue that they did not start the trend of executive overreach,” the editorial board writes. But "'he started it’ is not a reasonable justification for a child’s misbehavior, much less a president’s.”
