A measure giving Congress the power to block Trump pardons draws Republican backing "Frankly, it is clear to me the pardon authority has been abused," Rep. Don Bacon said.

I'd like to see the Pardons he has already sold be undone, too

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?

I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

Some district court will allow the EO to take effect, SCOTUS will take the case on appeal but will not hear the case until Oct '27 and will allow the EO to remain in force through this year's elections

Agreed. But many of the points she made also apply to the Democrats. The Democrats are also culpable for where we are today.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.

Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.

We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass
