The fact that a criminal is returning to the White House without facing consequences for his actions should be an outrage to every American. And the cowardice shown by billionaires and politicians kowtowing to him is disgusting. Where the hell is our moral compass?

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.

Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

Sorta seems like a problem.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Weird.

It's almost like her current boyfriend, the director of the FBI who flies her around the nation on government jets, might have shared information that would normally be limited to trusted law enforcement circles.

But that can't be right, because that would probably be a *crime*

Kash Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, warns that additional sleeper cells are preparing to launch attacks across the United States.

How many 26-year-old, aspiring country singers do you know of who are featured media guests on sleeper cell attacks?

Trump was gifted a crown belonging to a king who claimed power from heaven. Silla’s kings rose by centralizing absolute power… and eventually collapsed under the corruption and rebellion. This was expert-level trolling by S. Korea, but Trump is too absorbed in himself to notice he’s the punchline.

“We present this gold crown to you on this joyous occasion”

BBC: Trump orders U.S. military to prepare action in Nigeria, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians — though watchdogs say there’s no evidence Christians face more killings than Muslims in the country.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ＆ unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas ＆ violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ＆ fierce solidarity.

There is some good news on the voting front today and it’s important news. It shows us that the courts can still lead, and the rule of law is not broken. No matter what Trump wants you to think. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Good News: A Court Rejects Trump's Effort To Suppress The Vote
In March, Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS.” Predictably, it was designed to do anything but that.

Since you asked seriously, you deserve an answer. Ohtani is an incredible talent; he wanted—and we wanted—for him to be able to both pitch & play to his fullest capacity, because he has proven he can. We learned the hard way, though, that he’s a mere mortal…and tires like the rest of us.
