Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China. These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

theguardian.comTrump move to pardon Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is ‘based on lies and hypocrisy’Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big-time trafficker off the hook?

#ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Trump just pardoned x-President Hernandez who ran Honduras like a narcoterrorist-state profiting from cartels sending tons of cocaine to the U.S. Trumps says "many people" told him Hernandez was treated unfairly by the Biden admin. THEN RETRY HIM!

Trump on pardoning the former president of Honduras: "That was a Biden horrible witch hunt. A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that & I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail"

Honduras’s former President Juan Orlando Hernández walked free from a federal prison in West Virginia Monday, after he was granted a pardon by President Trump. He’d been serving a 45-year jail term in the U.S. for cocaine trafficking.

Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who got 45 years in prison last year for conspiring to import cocaine to the US. Prosecutors said he ran Honduras like a "narco-state" and accepted millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. He walked out of prison today.

Ah yes! So if you’re wondering why the 💩🤡 just pardoned the criminal EX President of Honduras, look no further than #Prospera, the futuristic, bitcoin project of #PeterThiel and his billionaire, broligarch buddies! This, oil to power AI and other furtive motives lie at the ♥️ of his “foreign policy”!

🧵This is the narco Trump just pardoned. The former president of Honduras transformed Honduras into a virtual narco-state. He financed his political career with drug trafficking proceeds. Used his presidential authority to pave a cocaine superhighway to the US, and Trump just set him free.

Pete Hegseth denies responsibility for the illegal “double-tap”, blaming it on “the fog of war”. What fog? He’s sitting in aircon watching a TV screen. No one is shooting at him. Why order a second strike if you can’t see any survivors? He’s a liar and, impressively, a war criminal without a war.

"Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself"

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.” The latest from George F. Will:

Admiral Bradley, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are serial killers. MURDERERS. Each and every one of them conspired to take lethal action on "suspected" drug runners 2,000 miles from our shores.

NEW VIDEO: We uncovered footage showing Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the military won’t follow unlawful orders — the same point he has recently criticized Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, for making - and which Trump has said is punishable by death.

Most of the country has moved on from this story Perhaps distracted by the Qatar jet scandal or the clearly unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights UNACCEPTABLE

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S. This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.

Democrats in the Senate need to understand: We have to see you fight. We have to see you willing to take a risk. Yes, it's fucked if the government shuts down. But it's fucked if it stays open with no way to restrict the bullshit being done. You need to inspire us in the base, so fight, goddamnit.

George Gates reposted

I completely understand Schumer wanting to avoid a shutdown - they’re destructive, and they harm a lot of folks who don’t deserve it. What I *don’t* understand is Schumer saying that Dems were unified in opposition only to change his mind a day later. He looks like a jackass.

George Gates reposted

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Reported that if TESLA stock goes to 114, a margin call happens, which would be an automatic charge to his checking account. Or he'd have to sell assets. Latest TESLA close was 248. When recently asked how he's running his companies, he responded glumly, "with great difficulty."
