NEW: Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser (D) says Colorado will not release Tina Peters after President Trump announced he is pardoning her state-level convictions.

"This is a lawless act. It's an act of intimidation," Weiser said. "It has no basis in the American law."

"Regardless of the type of clemency at issue, the President’s power extends only to "offences against the United States," meaning federal crimes but not state or civil wrongs."

Because US Constitution Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 Scope of Pardon Power.

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.

He was very much involved.

"Felching Fitzgerald"

“I fear for this institution,” Republican state Sen. Greg Walker, chair of the Senate Committee on Elections, said during an emotional speech this week. “I fear for the state of Indiana and I fear for all states if we allow intimidation and threats to become the norm.”

South Park Trump frightened by Melania as a ghost

This is actually closer to the truth than people realize.

"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 has promised infinite retribution toward the 21 Republican senators in Indiana who voted against the gerrymander today.

Important note: 11 of those 21 Republicans are not up for reelection until 2028.

So 10 have their terms end next year, though at least 2 are retiring anyway.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

I legitimately can't tell if I don't know how doctors work or if Mark Cuban doesn't know how doctors work?!?

Is he asking us how we'd feel if we needed referrals for specialists or couldn't get our meds covered or if we knew rich people were getting better medicine???

?!

It's like he's recruiting from the old days.

Two things about this EO are true:

1) it is a despicable, sloppy, and unacceptable act that reflects Trumps well documented affinity for his tech buddies

2) it does nothing by itself — CNN and the NYTimes get it BIG wrong here, giving Trump the headline he wants to scare states and create apathy

f DENVER — President Donald Trump announced on social media on Thursday that he is pardoning convicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. Pet as was convicted on Colorado state charges, and under current law, presidential pardons don't apply to state convictions. In a Truth Social post, Trump said, "Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!"

DO YOU WHAT THAT “CURRENT LAW” IS CALLED?

THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

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.
