The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln X.com President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc. If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he'd be a free man in Trump's America.

#Trump pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid—

It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

JUST NOW: "This is like Alice in Wonderland", Judge Breyer says when trying to get the DOJ to explain to him why what happened in CA is a "rebellion" justifying the deployment of the National Guard. "Words just mean what you want them to mean?"

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Chaos Is Coming America helped keep the (relative) peace for 80 years. Not anymore.

If we can't get this destructive, asinine regime out of power soon they will permanently damage our relationships around the world. This damage will not only hurt us strategically, but financially as well.

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

One of the things prosecutors must show in a murder trial is the defendant's intent. Intent can be tricky to prove, so one day a lawyer or two will thank Pete Hegseth for proving it for them. He's smart that way.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

MAGA isn't distinguished by differences of opinion, it is marked by its cruelty.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.

So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Global Black Friday Strikes Against Amazon Target 'Techno-Authoritarian' Assault on Workers | Common Dreams "We are joining Make Amazon Pay to demand the most basic rights: safety, dignity, and the chance to go home alive," said one Amazon worker from India.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

This method is air-layering. In this technique, a section of bark on a branch is removed, rooting hormone is applied, and the area is wrapped with moist moss and plastic so it can produce roots. After the roots form, the branch is cut off and planted as a new plant. This method can also be used for fruit trees such as citrus, fig, pomegranate, cherry, and others. But trees propagated this way do not have a rootstock, so their vigor and resistance may be lower compared to grafted trees.

ICE video shows officers planned to ‘smash’ into Charlotte man filming Border Patrol Immigration agents had a 12-pack of Modelos in their car while making arrests, Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez told investigators.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

There must be consequences.

In rural America, public radio saves lives In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?

First, an earthquake hit Alaska. Then it was a typhoon. People turned to public radio for lifesaving information. Sen. Lisa Murkowski tried to get her colleagues to understand the importance of stations.

They voted to defund public media anyway.
