Biden issues preemptive pardons



President Joe Biden on Monday issued pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The pardons, which come in the final hours of his presidency, come after President-elect Donald Trump vowed retribution for those he viewed as opposing his first presidency.




General Mark Milley on being pardoned: 
"After forty-three years of faithful service in uniform to our Nation, protecting and defending the Constitution, I do not wish to spend whatever remaining time the Lord grants me fighting those who unjustly might seek retribution for perceived slights."

$MELANIA?

Returning First Lady Melania Trump on Sunday released her own so-called meme coin $MELANIA just days after President-elect Donald Trump released his own cryptocurrency, which quickly reached an estimated value in the tens of billions on paper.









MAGA, let me get this straight: Donald Trump is selling a meme cryptocurrency and you have no problem with that…

But when Hunter Biden paints and sells his artwork to people, that’s apparently “corrupt?” 

Are you serious? The hypocrisy is insane. MAGA corruption is real. - Harry Sisson

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump



Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what Joe Biden did.
 
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change. 
 
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love. - Barack Obama

President-elect Trump’s talk of taking over or acquiring Greenland is highlighting bipartisan talks about the need to increase security around the Arctic island and boost defenses in the region.

Aw, It's Too Cold For Trump On Inauguration Day
The cold weather has thrown President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration into chaos, as it could be moved inside Monday due to temperatures forecast to be below-freezing, according to a report.









I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this. - Josh Marshall

"Migrant Mother" is a defining photo from the Great Depression, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1936. It portrays Florence Owens Thompson and her kids, capturing the harsh realities faced by migrant workers. Snapped in Nipomo, California, its publication spurred relief efforts. Today, it's a timeless emblem of struggle and endurance.
