“The president doesn’t have to explain pardons” is not a defense to bribery. DOJ should investigate credible evidence that a pardon may have been exchanged for money. Instead, this administration is using its power to pursue perceived enemies.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

If any administration’s DHS can violate court orders 96 times in one state without consequences, then court orders become suggestions, not law.
Hegseth’s accusation was supposed to make Mark Kelly look reckless. Instead, Hegseth exposed himself as trying to criminalize a senator for quoting him accurately. zurl.co/FmdR0 zurl.co/lq7Sg
A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False.
Posted by the WH. The standard is now that seashells are a federal threat, but the President posting AI video of himself physically attacking a critic is just “lol free speech.” Their rule is that speech is dangerous when it criticizes Trump, harmless when it comes from Trump.
This isn’t just a slush fund but a recruitment ad. Michael Fanone explains that “pardon plus payday” is how Trump builds a political militia. He’s telling violent loyalists that if they hurt people for him, he will protect them and even pay them for it.
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.
Trump’s OPM wants to impose NDAs across the fed workforce. It isn’t really about protecting “confidential government information.” It's about intimidation and making public servants think twice before exposing misconduct, waste, abuse, or criticism the administration doesn’t want the public to hear
Trump says he is holding Taiwan’s weapons package “in abeyance” because “it depends on China.” Then he calls it “a very good negotiating chip.” Taiwan is not a bargaining chip. It is a democracy facing an authoritarian threat.
People hate watching government become sponsored content while families are being squeezed at the pump and DOT is quietly lowering air traffic control hiring targets. That’s the part people can’t unsee.
Authoritarian politics: declare a target corrupt, assign a loyalist to investigate, then insist it is just accountability.

Gas prices are rising because of Trump's war of choice in Iran. But that is not an excuse for oil companies to illegally profiteer off the backs of hardworking Nevadans. My legislation is about preventing illegal price gouging and helping Nevadans struggling with soaring costs.

I’ve never appreciated fútbol (soccer) as much as watching Brandon Aubrey nail a field goal like a man who used to bend corners past keepers for fun. He tied today’s game with a 64‑yard FG at the end of regulation, then iced it in OT with a 46‑yard game‑winner. 🔥 #NYGvsDAL
