I don't think even he is dumb enough to pardon her before January 20, 2029. He can make sure that she gets preferred treatment in prison, though.

Reminder.....

A pardon for Maxwell is tantamount to an admission of guilt.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

it's not just state propaganda, it's illegal state propaganda. Hold the airports that are airing it accountable. Hold garden noem accountable as well.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Hi.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for listening.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Jack Smith pointed out something important in his comments. Re: Roberts' reasoning in the immunity case Smith points out that the problem w/his logic is that he's worried about presidents being afraid to do their jobs for fear of retribution when the real problem is the one who seeks retribution.Yup

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Maybe they brushed out his fake hair and kept what is left of his real hair.
I don't see what he calls a crown, even a small one. Is he seeing things that aren't there? Like his Nobel Peace Prize?
He must have been there when the picture was taken. He probably expected it to look like he was holy.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Columbus's own journals show that upon arriving at Hispaniola and BEING RESCUED by indigenous Americans, his first thought was "these people would make great servants."
This isn't a guy to celebrate.

Douglas Jackson, a service disabled veteran who was fired from IRS on Fri as part of the mass layoffs has a message for the Trump admin: “I’m an Orlando veteran. I’m not a DC bureaucrat. Either they don’t know who they’re firing, or they just don’t care.”

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.
