Today, the parents of Alex Pretti said in the nine months since their son was killed in Minnesota, no one in the federal government has reached out to them. “We are here begging for the Department of Justice to do what is right, to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.”

Reminder: Presidential pardons do not provide absolute immunity. Law breakers can still be prosecuted for state, local and international crimes and, in some cases, face civil liability or other penalties such as disbarment. The pardon might be exhibit A. www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

WATCH: “The fact that Todd Blanche ... doesn't have the guts to stand up to Donald Trump and say, ‘No, we're not going to do this,’ it shows me that he is unfit for the job. He needs to resign,” says Eric Holder on the Trump admin’s probe of Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Trump is already attacking California's elections, arresting 28 people for voting illegally. Only one problem: they have no evidence. It's all party of a plan to get Californians to vote yes on a voter ID bill. We say NO TO PROP 39!

(2/X) but it's probably accurate to say that he's got about the same amount of criticism for this that Obama got for the beer summit plus the Dijon mustard. Same ballpark, least. Good thing we've got a liberal media.

I think that if the court is going to act like a super-legislature, then it should be *treated* like a super-legislature, and tha means every incoming adminstration *should have to* bring with them the amount of justices necessary to have their agenda upheld. That's just democracy, baby. BUT...

(2/X) There's a complex set of reasons for this. Our media has been conditioned to pull its punches on Republican presidents. And the GOP itself has been cultish for a long time (e.g. "George Bush is a genius"). Narcissists have an eye for how to exploit situations like this..

The narrative that Americans are divided on abortion is a lie to hide just how undemocratic bans are—and convince lawmakers to take weaker stances on abortion. ~70% of Deep South voters oppose abortion bans. I wrote about the implications of this:

I think the Clean Air Act *probably* preempts a lot if not all of state regulations. I think the problem is that the Clean Air Act is not properly enforced, and never when Republicans are in charge.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
