President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

After Trump finally leaves the scene, it’ll take decades to undo what he’s done to the American people and the world.
Yet, the pendulum has already started swinging toward the other direction. Let’s take back OUR story. Not His-tory.

Trump’s been on binger and the cracks are showing - he’s posting absolute nonsense over on his TS site. He really thinks folks are stupid…
He posted this doozy of chart claiming he’s reduced the deficit.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
