Pardon Industry Offers Rich Offenders a Path to Trump
One inmate paid lobbyists and lawyers with ties to the presidentβs team and walked free. Others are following his blueprint, but it is not always clear who can deliver.
A former nursing-home owner, who had been convicted of tax crimes, paid a lawyer and lobbyist at least $100,000 to help secure a pardon from President Trump and walked free. Others are following his blueprint in a lucrative pardon industry that has emerged around Trump.

Screenshot of headline that reads, "Haitian man living in Boston dies in ICE custody, family says." Full text linked in reply.
Iβm calling on ICE to investigate the death of Emmanuel Damas, a Massachusetts community member who died in ICE custody after being denied timely medical care. His family, and dozens of families like his, deserve the truth about ICE's treatment of their loved ones. ICE must be held accountable.

Our country has been recklessly put into the hands of the absolute worst people on Earth. They have no conscience, no morals, no humanity. They're the most narcissistic/greedy monsters ever.
They're also just plain stupid!
77 million [if accurate] ignorant Americans put us here. Remind them of that.

Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

No, There Was No βImminent Threatβ From Iran
Team Trump shows that words made to mean everything will cease to mean anything.
If "one day" and "eventually" are "imminent," then words have no meaning. At least not to this administration.

Americans' hard-earned tax money went to this shit - money that Kristi Noem should be forced to pay back.
Instead of any punishment, FELON/Adjudicated RAPIST Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump rewarded Noem with a fake job - paying her with more of OUR money.
They are the #WasteFraudAbuseAdministration!

In my experience editing journalism about CSA, this is one of the common challenges--these guys (almost all guys) prey on people w/ rickety support, this kind of abuse further messes with your life and self-esteem, and often victims are drawn into behavior that is itself illegal and feel vulnerable

An Epstein victimβs rocky path from Hilton Head to the West Coast
A woman who spent time in Hilton Head SC is at the center of a controversy over missing Justice Department Epstein documents. This is how her life turned out.
Had missed this @postandcourier.bsky.social reporting from last week. The details of the alleged Trump victim's life makes it crystal clear why she would not come forward--a "not ideal" victim who is sure to be attacked. Via @tasteaccountant.bsky.social www.postandcourier.com/news/special...

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump
The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.
The Justice Department released *some* of the missing files, namely FBI interview notes from the woman alleging Epstein trafficked her as a young teen to Trump, Trump sexually assaulted her, and then she later endured a series of threats not to talk. Very dark reading www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...
