Remember, even if Trump preemptively pardons everyone, including himself, almost every crime was committed in a state jurisdiction. They can still be prosecuted.

💀 Candidate number 1 for the Darwin Award in December. A Russian soldier decided to throw away a Ukrainian FPV drone that did not detonate, but as a result it exploded right in his hands.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Who was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate?
Arkansas Senator Hattie Ophelia Caraway.
Caraway first assumed her husband's Senate seat after his death in 1931. Most thought she would step aside at election time. She didn't. She ran & was elected. She died #OTD in 1950. #history #UShistory

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.
