President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

U.S. national security offices, weakened by firings, confront Mideast war The U.S. military operation in Iran is testing a depleted Justice Department and FBI. Firings of experienced agents and prosecutors have diminished expertise to counter threats.

Further stretching the national security leadership, Matthew Blue - the chief of the Justice Department's counterterrorism section - is an Air Force veteran who has been serving in the D.C. National Guard since August. Trump deployed the D.C. National Guard to tackle "out of control" crime in the nation's capital.

Can the U.S. pressure Israel to end the war? U.S. military aid and support have been critical to Israel’s war effort. But can the U.S. press Israel to protect civilian lives in Gaza?

Regional allies knew what was coming. In 1991 there was a concerted effort to keep Israel from participating in the war and provide it with defense (Patriot missiles) instead. @djpressman.bsky.social @goodauth.bsky.social 7/

Don't forget Greenland: between Venezuela and Iran, Trump flew to Davos and used that platform to threaten a NATO ally's territory. Setting more diplomatic currency on fire, for literally nothing and no reason. We could get anything we wanted from Denmark if we just...asked. 5.5/

Now the 2026 regime-changey spree. Diplomacy is not the opposite of war, it is also a tool of war. If you threaten war to get what you want, you need to do coercive diplomacy. If you know you want to fight, diplomacy can make war go better for you. Allies, opposition party support, they help! 5/

Trump’s verbal attack on Zelenskyy was shocking – and predictable In bullying Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, Trump showed his core beliefs.

Then there was the humiliation of Zelensky in the Oval Office, followed swiftly by the humiliation of South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa. Bullying foreign leaders on live television, as policy. 3/

Russia’s Ukraine β€˜peace’ plan may be doomed from the start History shows settlements need local consent to endure.

Face-to-face meetings, Oval Office visits, and leader summits are diplomatic currency. Trump/Rubio burned through them like drunk gamblers. Remember Putin's visit to Alaska? To a US military base? The red carpet? The clapping? 4/

Why high-level U.S.-Russia talks are bad diplomacy U.S. diplomacy in Europe and Marco Rubio's bilateral talks with Russia aren't really about ending the war in Ukraine, or a lasting peace.

The Trump/Rubio attack began immediately. The DOGE/Musk assault on USAID, abetted by Rubio, the threat of mass firings, and the obvious sidelining of expertise in State itself. See Rubio's early trip to Riyadh to meet Lavrov. @goodauth.bsky.social 2/

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
