Trump White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers — as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C.
This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny:
Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of.
1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.
Russia is building a massive military surveillance network in Kaliningrad. Satellite imagery reveals more than 20 installations, including a radar designed to detect aircraft and missiles up to 3,000 km away. GPS interference already affects 7 countries.
Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has yet to approve the transfer of a significant batch of Patriot interceptor missiles for Ukraine, Ukrainian officials told the Kyiv Independent, raising suspicions that Washington is deliberately withholding the weapons.

Whoever has played part in bringing back Felon to power by their vote in 2024 is responsible for the demise of the US and the world. Trump, Xi and Putin meeting to discuss the end of Ukraine?! This is the reason for the dread I felt in November 2024.
JD Vance takes a question from a man whose wife was an American who died in an Iranian air strike in March. He says "there's a failure in the leadership" and asks Vance "how is this administration gonna start holding those leaders accountable for the deaths of the soldiers that we honor and love?"
This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine.
The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
Trump order just issued from the White House:
“I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties [on Russia] provided for in the Graham Act.”

North Carolina A&T students marched back to campus after their polling place was closed. They voted anyway!
It took students about 45 minutes to reach Union Square — now the closest early polling place. Some sections of sidewalk were missing or obstructed by branches, forcing people into the street.
It is a good thing we eradicated smallpox because it indeed is difficult to discern all these poxes around us: chicken pox (varicella), measles (rubeola) and German measles (rubella). All very different and should be respected in their own right. Vaccinate, and get educated so you don't look dumb.
Minnesota Republican state Sen. Bill Lieske: "Back in the day when the measles vaccine didn't exist, measles was a joke! ... yes, there are increases cases. How many of those are actually resulting in deaths? Are they just going home with the sniffles? Back in the day, people had measles parties."
🎶 Timeline Pause. Last night at the grand Metropolitan Opera, there was a magnificent tribute to UKRAINE 🇺🇦 Everyone proudly stood to respect, honor & stand with them. Ukraine deserves our support. Anyone who doesn’t can/will go straight to eternal hell 🔥

The regime falsely claimed that there was non-citizen voter fraud in Nevada. It appears that the regime just makes up numbers. 🙄 Nevada debunked the false claims & found none.
The regime has now moved on to California with its false non-citizen voter fraud claims.

Starlink terminal restrictions tied Kyiv's hands — The New York Times
The European Union will not be able to replace Starlink for Kyiv before 2029 — European Commission spokesperson Thomas Renard
Trump and his cronies seem to be escalating their blackmail campaign to force Ukraine into surrendering to russia. Ukraine will resist but domestic actors in the US need to mobilize immediately to pressure the administration to abandon these efforts.
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
The Trump Administration, which is composed of Epstein allies & protectors, is targeting survivors of domestic violence - arresting, jailing, & deporting them in violation of the law.
These survivors deserve the full protection of the law & our care.
Immigrants with harrowing accounts of domestic abuse were detained after contact with local police, sometimes after calling them for help.
"I had suffered from domestic violence,” said one woman, whose daughter was still nursing when she was detained. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”
Trump is unambiguously on Putin’s side in their war on Ukraine. The U.S. and Russia and North Korea are the new Axis, anti-democratic and anti-freedom.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.
Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night.
In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission.
Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
