Trump has abused the pardon power of the presidency like no president before him. Just shameless corruption.
"Over the past decade, the Boring Company has dug only a few miles of operational tunnel. It has never cracked $23 million in reported annual revenue.... Yet, for reasons inexplicable to anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of high finance, it is valued at $7 billion."
I believe the phrase for this is “eating the seed corn.”
"None have been convicted at trial. Yet names, mug shots and other identifying details posted by the government put a bull’s-eye on them."
From promoting Mein Kampf reading groups led by Ann Coulter’s white nationalist niece one day, to getting face time with the Secretary of State the next. America! We’re still the country where anything is possible!
State media watch:
The image of Trump saluting - without his baseball hat that you can buy at his website - is falsely labeled as Trump acknowledging the soldiers killed on March 1.
This was not a mistake - its also on the Fox News website.
"Shifting objectives, an exaggerated threat, an ambiguous mission: The many Russian echoes in the White House’s messaging on Iran underscore the risks of a vaguely defined, open-ended war in which the attacking party pins its hopes on regime change."
Thread. My dad was a US diplomat. Breaks my heart. “Whatever happens, even miraculous Venezuela-like stability in Iran and/or Cuba, the end of US diplomacy as we knew it weakens the US. Diplomacy is a tool of power, we had the best, and we blew it up deliberately.“

This is exactly what Hegseth meant when he bragged that we “don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
If the government gets to deny your human rights by accusing you of a crime, they're not protecting human rights, just committing government wrongs.

These charges were not similar. Peters literally stole an innocent person’s identity and used it to illegally access systems protected by state law. And she remains unrepentant to this day.
