Trump commuted Lawrence Duran’s 50-year sentence in a $205 million Medicare fraud case, reducing it to time served with no further fines, restitution, probation, or conditions. If health care fraud matters, start with the fraudsters Trump chose to spare.

Blurring the line between public office and private enrichment until the state becomes a family business.

The greatest domestic extremist threat comes from the far-right fringe of the MAGA movement, where religious nationalism, racism, and anti-constitutional politics increasingly converge.

CSIS: 3+ years minimum to rebuild missile inventories depleted by Iran war. Navy Sec last week: Taiwan weapons sales paused to evaluate remaining stocks. We’ve opened a window of vulnerability against China, Russia, or any adversary watching our depleted stockpiles.

Over the weekend, the United States government hosted what could best be described as a prayer meeting on the Mall. This was a weekend that represented a negative change in the drive towards autocracy of the Trump administration.

Steven Cash warns Trump’s proposed January 6 "settlement" resembles the kind of state-funded loyalty network or private militia support system often seen under rising authoritarian regimes overseas.

Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.

There is a difference between maintaining the National Mall and treating it like a personal branding project. A no-bid contract for a rushed cosmetic overhaul deserves scrutiny, especially when the explanation keeps shifting.

“They turn out to be right” is the most troubling statement in this whole diatribe. After claiming he knows “very little about it,” he proceeds to endorse the idea that crimes committed on his behalf were not crimes at all, but righteous acts against a corrupt system. Unconscionable.

Jan. 13, 2021: “No excuses. No exceptions...Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice.” 2025: pardoned Jan. 6 defendants. DOJ in 2026: opened a “weaponization” fund they can apply to. Rule of law stops being the rule of law when it’s enforced only against his enemies.
