Lindsey Graham says that Trump’s pardon of violent Jan. 6 defendants will encourage future violence and was a “mistake.” Says continued abuse of pardon power — including Biden’s pardons to family — could force revisiting the constitutional power altogether.

A tweet by @anyone_want_chips discussing Donald Trump’s proposed policy to end birthright citizenship. The tweet notes that four of Trump’s children wouldn’t qualify as U.S. citizens under such a rule: Don Jr. (born 1977), Ivanka (born 1981), Eric (born 1984), and Barron (born 2006 before Melania's citizenship in July 2006). The tweet includes photos of Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Barron Trump.

Not sure who needs to hear this but bipartisanship with Trump and these extremist billionaires isn’t going to work. They want power at all costs and won’t give an inch. Democrats need to fight them with everything we got.
