Trump hypocrisy on display - Trump pardons a convicted narco-leader because he was an ally of the US - meanwhile, he uses 'drug trafficking' as the excuse to go after Maduro and to commit extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean/Pacific region.
Honduras 🇭🇳 BREAKING: Trump will pardon former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez who is currently serving a 45-year sentence in a US prison on involvement in the drug trade. Absolutely unacceptable decision as this comes on the eve of crucial elections in Honduras.

Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. The Justice Department estimated that this represents 4.5 billion doses of cocaine and that he was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Hegseth should be charged with murder. Actually.

Detective Khan is a dedicated public servant & a wonderful person. It was a pleasure getting to witness his commitment first hand as a member of my detail. To Faisal & his family I wish you the best during this next phase of your life!

No big deal. The US is about to go to war with Venezuela and is currently detonating bombs on a closed military base in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Maybe we should be watching this in real time, folks?
Reports of new ammunition detonations in Vieques, Puerto Rico are deeply troubling. After decades of harm, the people of Vieques deserve answers and real accountability. I’m demanding full transparency from the Department of Defense.

Well, well, well. Nothing to see here just a rogue DOJ engaged in illegal activity & political persecution getting the royal smackdown from a federal judge.

Bessent is such a dishonest and third-rate hack. As it happens, average blue state income is about 25 percent higher than average red state income. Why doesn’t Bessent say, You know the best way to bring your income up? Move from a red state to a blue state.
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

Many Repubs eagerly itching for a fight & crowing about it before @ZohranKMamdani arrived in DC (including some in NYC) waking up today not finding a hole big enough to bury themselves in. Key strategic move made by our Mayor-elect while current Mayor gallivants who knows where.
President Donald Trump said today that NYC is not a priority for deploying National Guard Troops after his meeting with New York Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani via @KitMaherCNN: “Right now, other places need it more,” Trump said. “We had a very good meeting yesterday.“

Fun fact: The top 1 percent now controls 30.8 percent of all wealth in the United States, a level we literally haven’t seen since the 1920s. Nothing like recreating the economic conditions that preceded the Great Depression to keep things spicy.

😅😅😅 "She's full of shit" says @GovKathyHochul in a slip to @chrislhayes when asked about the despicable comments by Stefanik calling our Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani a jihadist. Don't worry Governor, you speak for the vast majority of us who reject Stefanik's gutter politics.
