This is John Roberts' America.
The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.
The president’s own chief of staff was reportedly stunned by his pardon of a former Honduran president.

An enraging trend right now, from CBS to the CDC, of people actively undermining institutions, then taking the reins of those institutions and claiming they need to rebuild the trust they helped destroy. (Also, people already trusted 60 Minutes.) bsky.app/profile/just...
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

I submitted my comments.
For now, the most important thing you can do is submit a public comment about the harm these rules would cause. These comments may not ultimately sway this transphobic regime, but they will be very important for future lawsuits. 👇

Lotta people learning firsthand, really unfortunately, about the horrors of premodernity
"At just 2 weeks old, Feleena Owens was struggling to breathe.
The newborn was coughing so badly, her skin turned a sickly gray-blue color. Her face contorted as she tried to gulp air. 'I think the longest she would stop breathing was about 10, 11 seconds,' said her mother."
Whooping cough cases soar as vaccination rates drop
In an NBC News data investigation of 31 states, about 70% of counties and jurisdictions fell below the target vaccination rate needed for community protection.

Because Trump respects our military so much.

"The cuts come after a reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 V.A. employees this year..."

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.
