And that's before you get into issues of Obstruction

That's ignoring the fact that DOJ at the time Nicon got his pre-emptive pardon (as well as history) believed pre-emptive pardons were illegitimate as there are no charges to pardon

Then there's the history of Pardons as an act of benevolence

I'm old enough to remember when they lost their minds that the IRS was evaluating tax exempt status of political organizations masquerading as religions & charities

Why does EVERYONE continue to assume & accept that a President has the power to pardon his co-conspirators?

It seems to be in direct contradiction with the principle that you can't be a judge or jury in your own crimes

Seems pretty obvious this recent batch of pardons are in no way legitimate

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Dear Businesses,

Christmas music before Thanksgiving is just annoying

Knock it off

"Mass Defections"

It's easy to not sign a discharge petition since most people don't understand what that means

It's hard to vote publicly to protect a pedophile just after your party got their asses handed to them in an election

Fact-check: true 😕

NPR was reporting how 65% of Americans believe that professional sports players change their behavior depending on what's the bookies think the results will be

The #aurora over my neighbor’s place last night ✨

An accused pedophile trying to humanize himself by interacting with children is just...ick 😬😳

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.
👏👏👏

U.S. Bishops Issue a “Special Message” on Immigration from Plenary Assembly in Baltimore The bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. It marked the first time ...

The Catholic Bishops actually do care

I don't believe this has ever happened in my lifetime that a Plenary Assembly of US Bishops issued a rebuke of sitting US President

& Priests have been stepping into the immigration fight demanding access to detainees

www.usccb.org/news/2025/us...

reason people perceive Dems as weak & GOP as strong is that's what we Dems message to ourselves & everyone else every day

We just crushed an election, the GOP made concessions they swore would never happen, the Epstein avalanche is just beginning, & Dems have in every way STRENGTHENED our position

People here, especially people who follow the MoveOn/ Indivisible/ Our Revolution/ Daily Kos thinkers should be condemning Republicans for choosing to cut the ACA subsidies.

Why aren't they?

And we don't fix that by constantly blaming Democrats for not having majorities anywhere & therefore not controlling Congress, Committees, legislation, subpoenas etc

We fix it by taking a victory lap, projecting strength, putting the blame on GOP (who caused this) &working every day to win midterms

EXACTLY!!!!

Dems participated in the longest shutdown ever to wake Americans up to the fact that REPUBLICANS cut healthcare

Enough circular firing squads

Remember who the REAL enemy is

We're not here because Dems are weak, we're here because WE didn't give them the numbers to have any real power

If Republicans just pulled off what we pulled off they'd be shoving it in our faces, taking victory laps, holding rallies, screaming "mandate" and bragging 24/7

Meanwhile we're strategizing how to take down fellow Dems and whining how weak we are

(Except for Newsom who held a rally in Texas 🤣😂🤣💪)

Fun Fact

The Catholic Bishops in America took the unprecedented step of issuing a formal rebuke of this admin

I don't EVER remember that happening in my lifetime

"we feel compelled now in this environment to raise our voices in defense of God-given human dignity"

Eric Swalwell has said as many as 100 will vote for it

Also, NBC reported yesterday that 5 unnamed Republicans who wish to remain anonymous confirmed that likely 100 House Republicans would vote for the release & 1 went so far as to say once voting starts it could be near unanimous

This is Rudy. He carried out the perfect heist by remembering the four S's: sleep, sneak, steal, skedaddle. 14/10 (TT: rudyrudyroo)

Whaaaat!?!?

The woman caught insider trading millions of shares of telecommunications & videoconferencing software companies immediately following a confidential covid briefing while telling Americans Covid was a hoax is (checks notes) a corrupt liar!?

It must be Thursday

a blue fist that says we got this on it ALT: a blue fist that says we got this on it

We should be bragging that despite the numbers and the odds against us we are chipping away at Republican power

Fretting that we're weak is both self-defeating and wrong

We're winning public opinion, we're winning elections, we're winning concessions from the majority, & we're winning transparency

reason people perceive Dems as weak & GOP as strong is that's what we Dems message to ourselves & everyone else every day

We just crushed an election, the GOP made concessions they swore would never happen, the Epstein avalanche is just beginning, & Dems have in every way STRENGTHENED our position

where we're already struggling with 30% drops in tourism by restoring air traffic controllers & flights

Republicans were NEVER going to defy Trump to restore ACA credits & the question was always going to be how long will we let people suffer to prove a point that we've already won on

Part of the

They didn't pass a clean CR

In fact they restored tens of thousands of jobs, got back pay for people who had been laid off, and got increases to social safety net programs

AND got the discharge petition to release the Epstein files

And the 2 Senators from NV saved thousands of jobs here in Vegas

Pope Leo was in charge of house cleaning for Pope Francis & he continues that work of removing the people from church hierarchy that have been impediments to change

The people in charge now DO care and are actively reforming the church
