Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

Hernandez also has a cameo in Gangsters of Capitalism
Decades of civil war and U.S. corporate and military interference have made the "Northern Triangle" of Guatemala, Hon-duras, and El Salvador one of the most dangerous parts of the world to live in. Honduras has become known as a narco-state. Its president, Juan Orlando Hernández, was accused by U.S. federal prosecutors in 2021 of providing paid protection for cocaine traffickers and collaborating with a cocaine laboratory outside Puerto Cortés.22 (An official Honduran government spokesperson denied the allegations.) Hundreds of thousands of impoverished people have been forced to flee north, seeking refuge in the country that took generations of their peoples' wealth. Some

Three Ways You Can Tell Trump Is Lying about Tariff Rebates - emptywheel
Trump's promises he'll pay tariff rebates isn't real. Rather, it's part of a two-sided effort to pressure SCOTUS not to make him pay back taxes he unlawfully collected.

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. Mr. Trump has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Mr. Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. He has said that he and Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019, were once friendly but had a falling out. But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails, which they selected from thousands of pages of documents received by their panel, raised new questions about the relationship between the two men. In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure.

If their plan succeeds, Virginia Dems could pass a congressional map to flip 4 GOP seats & elect a 10-1 Dem majority in response to the nationwide wave of new GOP gerrymanders.

My hypothetical map has 9 solid D seats, 1 safe R, & 1 swing seat. Interactive map:

Image of a hypothetical Virginia congressional map that is gerrymandered to elect a ten-to-one Democratic majority and flip four Republican seats in 2026. Nine of the districts are securely Democratic and shaded solid blue, one of the districts is overwhelmingly Republican and shaded dark red, and one district is narrowly Democratic-leaning and shaded light blue. An embedded chart shows the results of the 2024 presidential election in each district, with Kamala Harris winning nine districts by double-digit margins and the swing district by 3 percentage points. Republicans votes are wasted by being packed into a single district in western Virginia that Donald Trump won in a 55-point landslide. Black voters would retain their current ability to elect their chosen candidates in the safely Democratic 3rd and 4th districts in the Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Southside regions.

Reup: DOJ neglected to tell Ashleigh Brown that the alleged victim in her case, an FPS officer, has a criminal record, including 2021 charges for harassment involving physical contact.

C. Defense Discovers Z.C.’s Criminal History On October 23, 2025, while preparing for trial in this matter, defense counsel learned that Z.C. has criminal history that includes at least: • Harassment - subjecting a person to physical contact, in violation of Pennsylvania Statute § 18.2709(a)(1), convicted on June 17, 2021; • Disorderly conduct, in violation of Florida Statute § 509.143, arrested on August 31, 2014; and • Driving under the influence, in violation of Florida Statute § 316193(1), convicted on November 4, 2013. Exhibits H, I, filed under seal. These records were obtained through independent defense investigation. Of note, the defense does not have access to law enforcement databases and thus cannot confirm whether this is Z.C.’s complete criminal history or whether there is additional relevant information about these or any other arrests or convictions. D. Defense Contacts the USAO With Its Findings. The USAO States It Was Not Aware of Z.C.’s Assault History. On October 26, 2025, after further research and internal discussion, defense counsel contacted government counsel regarding its findings. Government counsel requested a few hours to investigate and respond. Later that evening, the parties conferred by telephone. Government counsel indicated that it was not previously aware of Z.C.’s 2021 conviction for assault. The government had asked Z.C. about his prior convictions in interviews. The government was only aware of Z.C.’s 2014 arrest for disorderly conduct and his 2013 conviction for driving under the influence. In addition, government counsel stated that it had not conducted an independent Henthorn review of Z.C., but had relied on the word and responsiveness of another agency (FPS) to conduct a Henthorn review of Z.C.’s personnel file.
