That's not where this will end. On his last day in office, Trump is going to issue a blanket pardon for EVERY POLITICAL APPOINTEE IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH for all crimes committed between January 20, 2025 and January 20, 2029. Mark my words.

This is a lawless and dangerous regime and precisely the reason that the Founders created the power of impeachment and removal.
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.

Imperative at this point for WH reporters to ask Trump to explain his shocking and troubling embrace of Putin and ask if it’s empathy, Kompromat, or manipulation? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/w...

This is the follow-up to the Susan Collins story. Interestingly, Lindsey Graham got $100K and a $5,000 bottle of Bourbon. Clyburn got $20K and a $100 fruit basket to match Graham's language in the House budget. Clyburn had part of his donation go to the University of South Carolina.
NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

If Elizabeth Holmes had peaked today, perhaps she could have escaped prosecution altogether, Idrees Kahloon argues: “Amid all the chicanery of the second Trump administration, another Holmes-level deception wouldn’t register as anything remarkable.”

so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

This is repulsive. The FBI is flagrantly harassing Trump’s enemies while wasting resources that could be usd for real crimes. November can’t come soon enough.
worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.
BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.
"If House Republicans are going to pull off an upset in November, they say it would come down to the party’s massive cash advantage and its aggressive gerrymandering push." Eg, not on policies or the will of a democratic electorate. www.cnn.com/2026/10/03/p...
