The Republicans dissonance is so tangible you can eat it with a fork.

Pardon Ulbricht after more drug sales than anyone knows.

Pardon Hernandez, a head of state who sent 400 tons of coke into the US.

Cheer on murder at sea & an invasion of Venezuela to stop drug trafficking. 🤦‍♂️

I’m trying to check myself here, but I feel like Trump is locked in a downward spiral. Authoritarians really depend upon a culture of fear in which their coalition is cowed into submission.

Once significant cracks appear and there isn’t a sense of inevitability, it’s hard to put back.

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.

It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.

Trump is taking us into a war so he can steal Venezuela's oil. The U.S. doesn't have a presidency. It has a Mafia-style criminal gang occupying the White House.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

Reminder that all the "pardons" granted to Jan6ers whose convictions were still pending were auto-pen pardons.
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”

He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.

(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

📌Pete Hegseth ordered our military to "kill everybody" on a damn boat carrying 11 people. The tiny vessel was repeatedly struck by our military, who have leaked Hegseth's barbaric order to the WaPo.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
