Trump just pardoned a convicted fraudster who owed $21.7 million in restitution for defrauding investors.

His name is Adam Kidan. He donated millions to Republican campaigns and groups, including more than $270,000 to Trump’s political committees in 2024, and helped host a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Now, his pardon appears to have erased whatever restitution he still owed.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Pardon Papers.

Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us.

Let them know how you feel.

Republicans voted to strip the right of unaccompanied kids to have a lawyer represent them in immigration court.

We're talking about kids who are as young as 18 months old who will now be left to fend for themselves in front of the government.

Russ Clark, a retired U.S. Marine Corps infantry commander who served in Vietnam and holds a graduate degree in mental health counseling, issued a scathing assessment of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, stating that his ten-year acquaintance with Hegseth allowed him to diagnose the defense secretary as "an arrogant, inebriated, misogynistic, cruel, sadistic, adolescent psychopath" who is now "controlling the strongest military in world history like he's playing a video game".
Clark's post on Threads (March 2026), carries particular weight given his credentials as both a combat veteran and retired United Methodist minister who now serves as a chaplain to veterans.

Police arrest woman protesting ICE—for holding sign on public sidewalk.

Video clearly shows woman just peacefully standing quietly.

"I do not consent to be searched!" she yells as male officers take everything off her.

Her sign reads: "Nobody is free until we are all free."

Incident occurred outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois.

JUST IN: Trump plans to dramatically raise the cost of imported generic medications for Americans.

A 100% import tax starting August 1, 2028, then 200% starting August 1, 2029.

Sadistic cruelty, barbaric pleasure, vengeance against perceived enemies... Whatever the fuck it is, today Trump sycophant Dr. Oz announced the fascist authoritarian Trump regime would withhold nearly $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California. Make no mistake, American citizens will go bankrupt and die — including children.

ICE crash their vehicle into passenger side of work van—man rushed to hospital with severe injuries.

Now his family has no idea where he is.

It's been 2 days.

After ramming into his work van agents "pile on top of him, punch him, and electrocute him," said cousin.

Injuries he received include—cervical sprain, face contusions, broken nose, knocked out teeth, arm bruises, and trouble breathing.

More than 48 hours later—his family has received no medical updates.

Marco Antonio Roblero Pérez, age 25, is also not locatable in the ICE detainee database.

During his one allotted 5-minute call he told his cousin that agents took him out of his hospital bed—drove him "somewhere about 3 hours away."

The traffic stop occurred in Doraville, Georgia.

🚨BREAKING: Tom Homan says if you don’t want to be killed by ICE agents, you should just comply…. So here is an example of what he wants you to comply with.

In this video, a woman noticed vehicles in a parking lot that she believed could be ICE vehicles… So, she started filming.

The people noticed she was filming, and drove past her.

She was alone, so she decided to leave.

Then, they started followed her.

But here’s the thing… she wasn’t even 100% sure they were ICE agents.

They were in unmarked vehicles, and they weren’t using emergency lights.

As she was driving down the street, being followed by these unmarked cars, one of the vehicles pulls up beside her, cuts her off, and the cars box her in.

She had nowhere to go without hitting the curb, or hitting the vehicle that had just cut her off.

She honked, but the vehicle just sat there.

Eventually it moved, and the vehicles drove away.

Now, imagine being a woman, alone in your car.

A group of cars, you cannot clearly identify as law enforcement, start following you.

They don’t turn on emergency lights. They don’t clearly identify themselves. And one of them cuts you off and blocking your vehicle from being able to drive away.

What are you supposed to think is happening?

Because from your perspective, it looks like you are being kidnapped by random people.

And that is the terrifying part of what ICE is doing.

They are creating situations where people have no idea whether the people surrounding them are legitimate law enforcement officers, or strangers attempting to abduct, or rob them.

And Tom Homan’s answer to being kidnapped, or robbed, is…

“Just comply.”

Don’t try to drive away. Don’t defend yourself. Don’t try to escape.

Just calmly allow unidentified people, in unmarked vehicles, to follow you, box you in, and potentially kidnap or rob you…

Because if they happen to be ICE agents, and you react like a normal person who believes they are being kidnapped, you could be assaulted, detained, or even shot.

Do you understand how dangerous and insane that is?!?

“Just comply” means women are being told to surrender to potential kidnappers, and hope they turn out to be government agents.

And if they don’t?

Tom Homan says it’s their fault for not complying.

When Matt Grodsky was just three years old, he stood in front of his preschool class and made a bold announcement.

One day, he was going to marry a little girl in his class named Laura.

To everyone else, it sounded like the kind of thing only a child would say. But for Matt, it became a promise he never forgot.

After preschool, life took them in different directions. They grew up attending different schools and eventually lost touch. Years later, during their freshman year of high school, they found each other again through a mutual friend. Within weeks, they were dating, and the connection they had as children came back naturally.

Their relationship survived different high schools, different colleges, and the challenges of long distance. Then, in May 2015, Matt brought Laura back to the very preschool where they had first met.

There, nearly two decades after making that childhood promise, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Laura said yes.

On December 30, 2016, they were married, almost 20 years after a three year old boy confidently told his classmates exactly how his story would end.

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so.

Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:
