đź’Š Trump says he will pardon ex-Honduras president convicted of drug trafficking

BBC

Hernández was found guilty in March 2024 of conspiring to import cocaine into the US, and of possessing machine guns. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Bombing boats from Venezuela without any (publicly released) evidence, while pardoning someone who was tried and convicted of doing the exact same thing they are accusing Venezuela of doing. How can anyone possibly reconcile these things?

⛑️ USAID shutdown has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths

Harvard

The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.

Four hundred thousand kids dead in less than a year. But hey, the Trump administration saved less than half a percent of its budget. Oh! And did we mention, DOGE was shut down already because it cost taxpayers more than it saved? Talk about fraud and waste…

Politico

Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill cruised to double-digit victories in Virginia and New Jersey. Two Georgia Democrats flipped seats on the state’s Public Service Commission, the first non-federal statewide wins for a Democrat in nearly two decades. Democrats flipped a pair of Republican-held state Senate seats in Mississippi, cracking the GOP supermajority in a deep-red state. And a successful California ballot measure delivered five additional seats for the party’s House margins ahead of the 2026 midterms, offsetting Texas’ redistricting push.

Finally some good news for once. Although, it kind of makes me even angrier at the lack

🤡 Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It?

The New Republic

And the media, with its long-standing bias toward treating Republican grievances as more legitimate than Democratic ones, follows the lead of whichever party is making the most noise. Republicans scream about “deplorables” for weeks, so it becomes a story. Democrats shrug at Trump’s latest attack on blue America, so it doesn’t.

Trump and his administration (and minions) are all guilty of basically everything they accuse democrats of doing. They’re the biggest snowflakes there are.

🇺🇸 No Kings Day Pt. 2

Letters from an American

In fact, protesters turned out waving American flags and wearing frog and unicorn and banana costumes and carrying homemade signs that demanded the release of the Epstein files and defended Lady Liberty. They laughed and danced and took selfies and sang. City police departments, including those of New York City, San Diego, and Washington, D.C., said they had made no protest-related arrests.

You absolutely love to see it.

🔫 FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws

AP

All travelers to New Zealand are required to declare any guns or gun parts when entering the country, New Zealand’s border security agency confirmed Wednesday. The agency, Customs, wouldn’t disclose what declarations Patel made on arrival.
Visitors must seek a license to possess a pistol on New Zealand soil. It wasn’t immediately clear if Patel had sought one.

Hey, New Zealand! Please arrest this man! He broke your country’s laws and seeing as he is an officer of the law and is supposed to uphold the law he should be forced to follow the local
