Didn’t Trump just pardon a massive drug kingpin?

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

The charges were 3 years ago under Biden/Garland…

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Let’s talk fraud.

@SenRickScott’s company ColumbiaHCA defrauded Medicare & was fined $2 billion— a record.

Scott invoked 5th amendment 75 times to avoid prison & received $300M retirement which he used to buy FL Governorship & Senate seat.

He’s doubled his net worth since.

Everyone in America needs to watch this video: To fuck the American people, Trump-loving postmaster Louis DeJoy has changed what a postmarked date means. Listen to this video to learn the insidious consequences and how it's designed to screw you. 😳👇

Meet Michele Fiore, a former JOP in Nevada who raised funds to create a memorial to honor fallen police officers.

Instead, she spent the money on cosmetic surgery and other personal items. She was convicted in 2024 and Trump pardoned her before she was sentenced.

Not Somali

If you’re angry about the Minnesota day care fraud, the case below will really upset you.

Philip Esformes ran a massive nursing-home fraud scheme, bribing doctors to funnel patients and billing Medicare for unnecessary services for $1.2B.

He was pardoned by Trump in 2020.

"Please be kind enough to explain when and where and under what authority you gained access to this material.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse & Sen. Dick Durbin write letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, asking how she's "read the Epstein files"

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Calling all Democrats and @SenSchumer/@RepJeffries

Don' let this story go away by @CarolLeonnig/@KDilanianMSNOW fade away.

1. Where is the investigation into the $50,000 in cash?

2. Where is the surveillance video?

3. Are Democrats completely powerless to do anything?

DOJ policy prohibits “perp walks,” in which arrestees are paraded before the cameras.

What happened to Thomas Crooke. Never ever has a story been buried so effectively. 🤷

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

JD Vance holds a JD from Yale Law (and so do I). Presumably, he knows that he is disregarding the law here, and being deceptive about the protections it affords.

Non-citizens physically present in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to due process protections under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It is not relevant whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is sympathetic, or how much you believe an (apparently shaky) claim from an informant that he had gang connections. The disposition of this case, based on a judge’s review of the facts, was to grant Abrego Garcia protected legal status, preventing his deportation. Abrego Garcia‘s due process rights, under the law, required the government to go back to immigration court and make the case, if they wanted to terminate that protected status. There is no good faith legal reading in which his right to due process was respected; indeed, the government has conceded that it erred, and is essentially arguing that it doesn’t matter enough to address it. This is because they assume people will not care. But everyone in the United States should care—we all depend on these basic legal rights being predictably upheld.

I served in the first Trump White House as a homeland security advisor. After 20 years in nat'l security, I know what proper protocols look like—and this isn’t it. NSA Mike Waltz using Signal for war planning & apparently now we know that he uses his personal Gmail for official business? That’s not just a blatant disregard for nat'l security, it's also just plain laziness. These aren’t rookie mistakes. They’re deliberate choices. Dangerous ones. That ego is out of control.
