This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

How is this not an act of war?
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.

I really don’t get why RFK Jr. is so hellbent on barking up wrong trees about autism. Even if it was really important to you to reduce autism rates, almost everything he promotes does nothing or causes suffering/death, while he attacks helpful things like OTC painkillers and safe vaccinations. Why

She is totally right. I hope Hegseth and the rest of them are tried for murder
I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.
