I don’t want to see “experts say Trump can’t pardon a state conviction.”
That’s like “experts say sun rises in east, and some scientists claim water is two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom.”
It’s just a fact.
He CANNOT do this.
And the media DAMN well better get their coverage right.

Trump says he's pardoned Tina Peters, but that may not save her from prison
Trump has no jurisdiction over state-level cases to offer the pardon.

As Republicans reject bill to protect ACA subsidies, what happens now?
In a normal environment, a president would show some leadership and back a practical solution. In 2025, that's not happening.

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.
Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.
