It’s also an advertisement, suggesting that it’s safe to break the law for DJT.
The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.
But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

It is hilarious that Platner is reassuring everyone he is not Fetterman while sitting next to Joe Cavello, one of Fetterman's former senior aides.
Graham Platner says he's no John Fetterman. But he gets the concerns.
The Democratic Senate candidate said he understands why some may compare him to the Pennsylvania senator, but he told NBC News he's different — and wants to earn voters' trust.

Dethroning Trump will not be enough to restore rule of law; the Biden admin is proof. After DT left the WH with historically low public approval, the Biden/Garland Justice Dept thought they could go back to the way things were in the 90s-2000s. It resulted in the worst-case scenario.
The president’s corruption is audaciously out in the open, but decades of letting the wealthy play by their own rules enabled him.

If Democrats had held out for just 12 more hours, they would have seen that Trump was going to be FORCED to fund SNAP and that that should not have been the centerpiece of a negotiation to betray 40 million Americans on healthcare

This is absolutely right.
The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

The ACA is less than the bare minimum if the US government wants to claim it isn’t intentionally doing eugenics on its citizens
The thing about ACA is that if an American describes how it works to someone from literally anywhere else, the other person will be utterly horrified at its deliberate cruelty.
The way the horror of pre-ACA healthcare sounds to an American, is basically how ACA sounds to everyone else on earth.

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.
