The most corrupt presidency in American history.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

Ya'll the footnotes. I have never seen anything like this.
![2 In its public-facing statements, the DOJ appears determined to project two images: it, the great protector of culture and children, see discussions supra; and it, the champion of the faithfuloppressed (mostly, Christians, although sometimes with the slightest pinch of “Judeo-”). See, e.g., DOJ press release of Apr. 22, 2025 (celebrating “the inaugural meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government,” where the AG “was joined by peaceful Christian Americans who were unfairly targeted by the [prior a]dministration”; discussions included “efforts to push radical and anti-Christian gender ideology on kids in classrooms, foster care, sports, and healthcare”). These perceived imperatives have formed an unholy alliance, from the perspective of transgender people, who find themselves in an increasingly inhospitable environment. Justice Alito has acknowledged “the discrimination” and “disadvantage[]” facing the transgender community today. Skrmetti at 577. It also is of great concern, for those who value the separation of church and state, to see the Department of Justice cavalierly blurring the lines. See also, e.g., press releases dated Sept. 9, and Sept. 30, 2025 (second and third hearings regarding “threats to religious liberty in education,” which ‒ of course ‒ included matters of gender transition).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreifolehrzbx4tqud53zwep5fps47jbuvsea7gvprwey7m2mlju42ha@jpeg)

Although authoritarian regimes have been known to do this kind of disciplining of higher education, pushing for total state control of civil society is a core characteristic of proper fascism, as I argue here: www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...
These are the actions of an administration that, unconstrained by law, seeks to assert authoritarian power over the institutions of civil society that it dislikes.

Alarmingly, Trump policies hollow out the U.S. farm system by weakening its markets, infrastructure, and resilience — and agriculture is a national security asset.
Why is he doing this? A producer with stable markets is free.
A producer dependent on relief is controllable
He is sick

Happy holidays to everyone who's in solitude today. You get to decide what this post-solstice 24 hours is like! You could mourn or reflect, give gratitude or binge-watch, join your chosen family or cozy up with your animals. You may not be surrounded by people, but a lot of us are in the same place.

75 migrants. $7.5 million. So the going rate we’re paying a country to take migrants we’re deporting is $100k each. That’s an insane waste of money on top of the cruelty of sending people to a country they have no ties to. thehill.com/policy/inter...
