President Bystander stumped when asked about pardon he signed hours earlier On Thursday morning, Trump signed one of his most scandalous pardons to date. On Thursday afternoon, he couldn’t explain his actions from hours earlier.

Asked why he pardoned Zhao (who helped finance the president’s stablecoin and put money in the Trump family’s pockets), tRump didn’t know who the Binance founder was: β€œI do pardon a lot of people...I don’t know. He was recommended by a lot of people”

The White House is supposed to be modest. It’s supposed to communicate that the president is a steward of democracy and not a monarch

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Epstein trial would have been β€˜crapshoot’, plea-deal prosecutor tells Congress Ex-Trump labor secretary Alex Acosta, in September testimony to lawmakers, defends not taking case to trial

Alex Acosta, the former US attorney for Florida who negotiated a plea deal in 2008 with Jeffrey Epstein, testified before the House oversight committee last month that going to trial would have been a β€œcrapshoot” due to lack of cooperation from victims. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Is it the advancement of military weaponry to kill declared enemies, or is it the cowardice and fecklessness of men who drop bombs from the sky on boats carrying unnamed people that cause most to remain silent?

Friendly reminder:

Dems successfully impeached the Dictator in the WH *twice.*

The traitorous, treasonous GOP failed to uphold accountability and convict him, *twice.*

But for their failures, we would not be here today.

We do not have a one-man problem.

We have a coup-complicity problem.
