Nicely done.

Can you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, ... The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had! They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY! ... It was all very unfair what they were doing to him and his family, so much so that his daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents (Just posted on TRUTH!). After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter's loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people - They were treated sooo BADLY! I signed the papers, and said to people in the Oval Office that I just did a very good, perhaps life saving, thing. God was very happy with me that day! THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be "running" for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison - And probably still do! Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry's daughters, will not like. Oh' well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

November 12, 2025 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Subject: Request for Compassion and Clemency for Our Parents, Henry and Imelda Cuellar Dear President Trump, First, we want to thank you for your service to our nation and for the leadership you continue to provide to millions of Americans. We understand that the responsibilities of your office are immense, and we are deeply grateful for the time and compassion you extend to families like ours who are seeking mercy and understanding. We write to you simply as two daughters — two women who love their parents more than words can express and who have spent countless nights praying for strength, hope, and understanding. This has been the hardest chapter of our lives. There have been sleepless nights, anxious mornings, and quiet moments when the weight of it all feels overwhelming. We've watched our parents, Henry and Imelda Cuellar - two of the kindest, most selfless people we know, who have given everything to others — endure something so heavy and public, carrying a burden that no good-hearted person should ever have to bear.

This ordeal has taken a deep emotional and financial toll on all of us. It has tested our faith in ways we never expected, but it has not broken it. We still believe in justice. We still believe in America — a country built on truth, fairness, and compassion, even during the hardest of times. This experience has shown us how easily good people and good intentions can be misunderstood and how deeply that can affect a family. Still, we hold onto our faith and keep praying that the justice system we were taught to respect will reflect that same fairness and humanity. We also believe that our father's independence and honesty may have contributed to how this case began. He has never been afraid to speak his mind, especially when it comes to protecting the people of South Texas and securing the border from the policies of the previous administration. President Trump, you once publicly said that you believed the indictment was wrong — and later, at a White House picnic, you told me personally, as you pointed to my father, that he was "a good man." Those words meant more than you could ever know. Those words meant more than you could imagine. I still hold on to them because they remind us that good people recognize good character, even in difficult times. When you and your family faced your own challenges, we understood that pain in a very human way. We watched from afar through the eyes of daughters who knew what it felt like to see parents under fire. We prayed for you and your family - for your strength, your peace, and your faith to stay strong — because we know that behind the headlines, there are real people who hurt, who love, and who still hope for better days. That's what unites us as families and as Americans - the shared belief that no matter how dark things seem, faith and compassion can still light the way forward.

Thank you, President Trump, for your time, compassion, and willingness to listen. We are grateful beyond words for the hope you bring to families like ours — the hope that forgiveness, fairness, and faith still have a place in our justice system. May God bless you, guide your decisions as you continue to lead our country, and keep your family in His care. With deepest gratitude and faith, pat fat Christina Cuellar Catherine Cuellar Daughters of United States Congressman Henry and Imelda Cuellar

I'm not sure what Trump thought he was doing by posting the Cuellar daughters' letter & his "lack of LOYALTY" rant, but, in addition to making clear the transactional nature of the pardon in his mind, he also admitted that a transparently flattering letter is all it takes for him to grant a pardon.

Still a few bugs in the system.

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

Agreed. I've been sharing this write-up of that take with friends: www.thegauntlet.news/p/pluribus-c...

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

Good point.

Why are these awful people in power? If we were building democracy from the ground up, how would we prevent awful people from achieving power?

Let's hope for a day where people have no idea what this post means.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Damn good question.

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.

Any future Democratic administration is going to have to essentially rebuild the federal government from scratch. I feel like we should be doing more now to plan for this.

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

lol

The defunding of USAID was the American Wannsee, the moment the ruling party’s psychosis and disregard for human life led them to choose to kill millions of innocents for its own sake. There is no normal politics possible after that, and no one has understood that yet (not even me, at a gut level).
