Yesterday’s pardon of former Honduran President Hernández — convicted for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. — proves how hollow Donald Trump’s supposed concern for American families ruined by drugs really is.

Trump’s “how-to” of appeasement: How to make a buck – billions of bucks by cutting deals with a war criminal. Not how to preserve freedom and save lives from the continued assault by a war criminal. Poland’s PM Tusk got it exactly right: “We know this is not about peace. It’s about business.”
Our President’s lazy bluster might work on reality TV, but it’s been disastrous when confronting a real economic and global threat.
Families are paying about $1,700 more a year because of Trump tariffs, while trying to get through the holidays. The President’s response? “Maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30.” Yet his Big Ugly Bill hands $96,400 a year to those who make $1M or more per year. How many dolls is that?
Putin told reporters in Kyrgyzstan that he will kill every “last Ukrainian” if that’s what it takes to gain control of Ukraine’s eastern territory.
Endless Russian attacks for over three years haven’t been able to achieve that objective, yet Trump wants to reward a war criminal for murder anyway.
Trump calls firing on Venezuelan boats a “war on drugs” but pardons Juan Orlando Hernández, the ex-Honduran President who took El Chapo’s bribes & helped dump 500 tons of cocaine into the US.
Trump continues punishing those fleeing this violence while pardoning the corrupt criminals who enable it.
This has never been about crime or immigration, only about Trump normalizing the future use of military force against his opponents.
A thorough review in April might have prevented this tragedy. The Guard was neither requested nor needed in DC, and Trump’s call now for 500 more is just more distraction.
As usual, Trump is evading any accountability for his regime’s role in the deadly attack on National Guard members last week. I’m demanding some answers.
“The government shutdown is over, but when it comes to Congress it’s hard to tell.”
While I rarely agree with its editorials, WSJ provides a fitting description: “An Agenda-Less GOP Congress” “Republicans don’t seem to have any priorities beyond populist stunts.”
The phone call between Witkoff and Putin aide Ushakov demonstrates the clear Trump Ukraine strategy all along: appease a murderer, condemn the murdered, and call it peace. Witkoff guided Ushakov on how to flatter Trump’s ego to get Putin everything he wants—a tactic employed by other authoritarians.
On World AIDS Day, we honor those who lost their lives to AIDS and renew our commitment to ending this disease once and for all.
Trump’s halt of global funding has cost lives. Now, the Trump regime silences those who commemorate the victims of this terrible epidemic.
New evidence that Trump’s unqualified Secretary of Defense is a war criminal.
Since Trump wanted his generals to be more like Hitler’s, Hegseth fits right in.
More than a million Texans over age 45 face soaring ACA premium increases because of Trump/GOP sabotage. Premiums for a 63-year-old Austin graphic designer increasing by $870 a month while losing his doctor of 20 years. Texans forced to bear costly burden as Trump seeks a Nothingcare system.
The Trump regime views the resolution of the war in Ukraine as a personal business venture, not a vital national security concern. Witkoff and Kushner gladly explored the Kremlin’s offer of multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals in exchange for Trump pressuring Kyiv to surrender.
Our Fraudster in Chief frees yet another fraudster convicted in a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands.
Flying any time soon? Ever messed around by airline-caused delays?
Big questions Trump has failed to answer: What vetting did your regime do of assassin Rahmanullah Lakanwal before granting him asylum 7 months ago? What specific actions did you take to review his presence in the US since 2021? How did you fail to identify his apparent radicalization?
Like Stalin, having condemned the press as “the enemy of the people,” Trump continues his assault on free speech by cowardly attacking those who accurately report about his own wrongdoing.
While always talking tough on law and order, Trump has been diverting crime fighting resources from combatting drug cartels & child traffickers to pursuing his favorite cause—undocumented immigrants with no prior criminal record.
Trump—more bluster, less safety for American families.
