How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters The president’s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors — as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

“If you’re just an average citizen, you can’t even get in the line,” said a lawyer rep'ing a man seeking a pardon for decades-old tax crimes.

“I told my guy he’d probably be better off if he broke into the Capitol or made a major donation to Trump’s inauguration.”

“This Comet Thing Is Aliens,” Says Resident Harvard Fraud Avi Loeb Like he does every week, without evidence.

Listen, I'm not saying I endorse brutal mockery of Avi Loeb's claims that every interstellar comet we see is an alien spaceship, but I will link to it because the aliens made me in order to sow doubt about their cometships.

If they include Bellingcat in this "conspiracy" you know that this is all bullshit.

❗️The 🇸🇰Slovak prosecutor's office has concluded that the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to 🇺🇦Ukraine was not a crime, despite the insistence of the government of Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency said on Monday.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.

Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.

Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each October from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

Record high ocean temperatures continued across the North Pacific in October 2025, with recent warming really amplifying since the early 2000s.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

1/ New photos of the gaudy decorations that Trump has installed in the White House have once again raised claims of "dictator chic". But actual dictators, past and present, haven't gone in for this kind of style. Read on to see the true inspiration.

Federal agents forbidding faith leaders from praying sounds like a violation of religious freedom.

But then I remember that “religious” means “white Christian identity politics,” and “freedom” means “Christian nationalists’ unrestricted ability to impose their beliefs on others.”

Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.

This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

FAKE VIDEO A bizarre threat directed at Erika Kirk came from the armed forces of Ukraine! Three soldiers said she should C watch her neck" if she continues to say the LI same things about Ukraine as her late husband did. Charlie Kirk advocated for stopping all financial aid to Ukraine.

A viral online video, which claims to show "Ukrainian soldiers" threaten to kill Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk, is fake.

Not only do the "soldiers" in the clip speak Ukrainian with a notably strong Russian accent, but it has hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.

Putin might be disappointed by not getting the Budapest meeting, but the reality is that it had nothing to do with Lavrov. The problem was on the American side: That they sent Rubio instead of Witkoff—i.e. someone who actually understood what Lavrov was saying.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
