Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed:
Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost.
Now he’s pardoning them for it.

I do not like anything about any of this yeah
yeah I’m not putting my pitchfork down until and unless I see some results
like what *exactly* just got voted on
This thread is helping restore my sanity a touch right now which is sorely needed
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
👇 THIS has totally backfired. I'm not sure which Senator did what now, but it makes me want to see the entire Dem caucus primary'd. I don't trust a single damned one of them
if dems are going to do whatever their corporate donors want, then don't bother texting us for money anymore
this is so mean to quark
if he’s not making phone calls right now to get someone to change their vote he’s not the man who should be leading.
This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?
That’s why I say keep calling.
How can you have existed in the world since 2016 and still believe a single elected Republican is capable of feeling shame?
The shutdown and ACA tax subsidies are one of the few things leftists and normies agree on.
To piss off both is a huge mistake
How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
yeah he voted no but it’s his fucking job to keep the rest of them in the fight so he’s either a liar working a backdoor deal so he can’t be blamed or he’s weak and either way unfit for the moment.
a big heaping bowl of shit for Schumer and for every dem who caved
we need a minority leader who isn’t a weak old coward incapable of standing up against anyone except his own party
If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.
I’m terribly disappointed in him.
Even more true today: Democrats are ripe for a base revolt like the GOP in 2015 when Trump went down the escalator.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
America is in a fight for its very survival. And the leaders of the Democratic Party in the US Senate are just not up to the challenge. Time to turn the page on them. With prejudice.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.
We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

extremely valid tbh. I did the same thing
