The Steady State

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.

More from The Steady State

Hillary’s 2016 National Security Address reads like a prophecy. She called his ideas “dangerously incoherent… a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.” In 2026, Truth Social IS the policy channel. Tariffs announced and reversed by post.

If the war is over, why are we still negotiating the terms to end it? Authoritarian governments have to manufacture victory, deny reality, and demand the public accepts the fiction the government gives them.

In 1976, the Bicentennial felt like a national moment. In 2026, the Semiquincentennial is already being pulled into the gravity well of one man’s ego.

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.

WSJ doesn’t bury the lede. “This payment deal is rotten.” It is. And the photo is perfect: Trump’s giant banner hanging over DOJ, a visual reminder of what Van Hollen says the department has become--not the people’s lawyer, but one man’s. zurl.co/T0PIs

A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False.

The pardon power was meant as a last resort when the justice system gets it wrong. Trump is using it as a loyalty program.

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.

“Pre-funding Donald Trump’s private militia” is the clearest warning in this exchange. The concern is not just corruption. It is the creation of a publicly subsidized incentive structure for political violence.

The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause wasn’t written to protect government from churches. It was written to protect churches from government, and citizens from being told that God has already dictated their vote.

Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.

Massie’s bill exposed 2 dozen CEOs and world leaders in 6 months. He had 7 months left, so the GOP panicked, blasted voters with fake AI deepfakes to destroy his credibility, and shut him down. They are actively protecting the worst monsters on earth, and they just proved it.
