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.

SCOTUS could have limited immunity to non-corrupt official acts, but it chose the broader protection for Trump. So, taking a bribe in exchange for an official act cannot be criminally prosecuted. No American has ever received this form of immunity. The opinion is an abomination.

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Stirring up and feeding hate is a business model.
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies

millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

So true. Big media fail. And Democrats never conveyed this.
So many news outlets continue to push the obviously false claim that Elon Musk and DOGE were trying to eliminate waste and fraud.
Because the goal was never “saving” anything. The mission was the destruction of the federal government and the theft of everyone’s data, and they achieved everything they intended to do.
