I’m sure he’ll join the ‘multiple pardon/clemency club’ like the two separate J6ers already have. There may be more, but I know there are at least those two. One was a weapons charge and the other for threatening to shoot up the fbi over the J6 conviction.

Isn’t one of the items beef? The thing that’s hurting so many farmers who are already pissed about buying Argentinian beef? He sure likes to rub it in his supporters faces how little he cares about them.

When has Oasis been considered working class? Jacobin rolling in with the bad takes these days.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

Just put an edit on my original post… I saw a post on bluesky showing him as a yea, but I can’t find the tally on senate or cspan sites yet, so I can’t confirm. To be honest, it doesn’t matter what his vote is, because he is either part of this deal or so ineffective as leader that he couldn’t whip the votes. And since one if his favorite gags is splitting the bad from the holdout so that the bad can pass while the holdout doesn’t, my money is on Schumer being behind it all. Notice the only i e’s who voted for it are retiring or not electing next year.

Finally tally has his vote as aye.

Edit- Or at least someone posted that he had, I can’t find the actual tally on the senate or cspan sites yet and I may be wrong.

Everywhere except the dems in congress.

~~Both VA senators saw the statewide sweep and thought to themselves, ‘nope can’t have that.’ What a rug pull.~~

Edit: I thought the list at the top was definitive, Mark Warner has come out Against the bill, although that’s probably only because they agreed he gets to sit out since he’s up for re-election next year.

Ufc white house is scheduled for 2026, so not far off.

So, weekend pardon or will Trump focus on golfing and do it Monday?

From what I read, four were successful (CA, WA, HI, and someone else I forget) and the Hawaiian secretary of state said they had everything ready to go beforehand after assuming there would be a stay put in place again. Not trying to throw any shade towards Jackson, it’s just disappointing that the current state if the country is ‘what is the best way one SC Justice can gum up the works enough ti allow starving people to eat before the conservative majority tramples all over it.’

I agree with that being her rationale, although I’m not sure if I agree that it was the correct move. Kind of a damned if you do/damned if you don’t situation, but since 4(ish) states were able to fire off the paperwork in time so that they have now disbursed that money, then maybe having the relief come from the other justices would’ve delayed its implementation enough that other states could’ve gotten in front of it as well. Would’ve at least gotten one more set of payments out before the conservatives shut it down for good.

Red states obviously wouldn’t have, but they’ll probably refuse to release the money even if the SC somehow rules correctly. All the blue governors should have been on top of that like the 4 who were, but it’s moot now.

I have no reason to doubt Ketanji Brown Jackson felt she was doing what she felt was right though, so we’ll just have to see how everything plays out.
