White House officials are considering 250 presidential pardons to mark the nation’s 250th birthday, expanding a pardon power already used broadly.
The pardon proclamation saved them, opening prison doors and ending all of the criminal prosecutions related to the Capitol attack.

A House Democrat is calling on President Donald Trump to respond to the killing of Charlie Kirk by rescinding pardons he issued in connection with Jan. 6.

A Pod Save America host is calling out MAGA fury over the Charlotte train murder specifically their outrage over the suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., being out on the street despite a lengthy criminal record. Writing on X late Tuesday, Pod Save America's Jon Favreau mocked the conservative rage with a trolling post that was seemingly criticizing Democrats but with a twist.
