There was a multi-year investigation by House Republicans into a pardon Bill Clinton gave to Marc Rich at the end of his presidency. Some guy handed Alina Habba a $50 million "job" and magically got a pardon from Trump and it won't even be remembered by this weekend

Batshit insane

The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022.

And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

The court records speak for themselves. Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is disgusting—there is no lie, no scam, and no shameful act too low for him.
