Nothing says excellent judgment like pardoning 1,600 people and then watching about 1 in 16 promptly get arrested again for everything from DUIs to homicide. But sure, these are “great people," just with a habit of committing crimes once the consequences are removed. newrepublic.com/post/211391/...

One in Sixteen of Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioters Have Been Arrested Again

The crimes range from possession of drug paraphernalia to stalking, child molestation, and reckless homicide.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich. And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion. Priorities.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted. The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
