Democrats need to state that if this is done, they will have no choice but to turn Trump and his subordinates over to international tribunals for war crimes prosecutions, if Trump makes it impossible to prosecute them domestically. Make subordinates accepting pardons understand the consequences.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Trump's comments are clear disinhibition manifestations of acute senile dementia, but US corporate media refuses to report on or discuss it in a clinical context.

An op-ed appears over the name of Mitch McConnell in today's WSJ warning Trump over his concessions to Russia. No one thinks McConnell actually wrote this piece. It's a mystery who did. Maybe WSJ will tell us some day. www.wsj.com/opinion/codd...

❗️The Kremlin, through the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev, is luring Trump’s team with lucrative deals in energy, aviation, rare earth metals, AI, and technology (including investments by people close to Trump in Lukoil), without stopping the war.

At this point, if a leftwing third party has any money being spent on its behalf, assume it's coming from a righting billionaire- and probably from Musk.

All the breastbeating about antisemitism is such a joke by people who ignore the complete racism and Islamaphobia of every official in the Trump administration. No Jews are in concentration camps in the U.S. but a host of muslim immigrants are.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

I don’t know why Trump and Vance are questioning Talarico’s sexuality, (it’s really none of their business) but they themselves display in your face gay leanings, eyeliner, best buds with Peter Ariel, trumps fascination with men’s bodies, I guess their idea of manliness is Squeaker Mike Johnson?

He'll be shocked to learn that, in 2020, someone tried to convince the Georgia Secretary of State to fraudulently add 11,780 votes to Trump's count. The guy who did that should be in jail. Can I get the $1,000,000 for reporting that? Does it matter that I'm Canadian?
