There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Trump freed these child predators with his pardons and put more kids in real danger. Shameful. Link: xcancel.com/furkangozuka...
Screenshot of a tweet by Furkan Gözükara claiming a former DOJ attorney found that the Trump administration pardoned January 6 rioters without vetting, including individuals with serious criminal histories. The embedded image shows a three-person split-screen MSNBC segment from “Katy Tur Reports,” with two guests and the host, and a lower-third banner referencing a pardoned January 6 rioter convicted of child pornography possession.

Trump and the GOP constantly campaign that crime is out of control. In fact as this FBI report reported, violent and property crime last year was at its lowest level since the 1960s. This fact should be more broadly known by our citizens.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
