NYT denounces Trump’s decision to pardon thousands of J6 rioters
The New York Times editorial board condemned President Donald Trump's decision to pardon approximately 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters, many of whom have since committed additional crimes.
Unlike past presidents who issued controversial pardons near the end of their terms, Trump deployed what MAGA ally Steve Bannon described as a "flood the zone" strategy: issuing so many pardons so quickly that public attention cannot keep up with the consequences.
The Times documented 12 serious recidivists, including four who were incarcerated at the time of their pardons and subsequently committed new offenses.
The board stated, "The American public deserves to understand the mayhem that the Jan. 6 pardons have unleashed."
The editorial warned that Trump and Republicans face accountability through midterm elections, arguing voters must deliver "a political price" for the pardons. The Times noted Trump continues valorizing the Capitol attack, which included threats against the Vice President, assaults on police officers, and resulted in one officer's death from strokes and four officers' suicides.

Trump drops blatantly false outburst after storming out of Supreme Court hearing
Not long after having attended the Supreme Court hearing to hear oral arguments on the legality of ending birthright citizenship – becoming the first sitting president in history to do so – President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday to lash out at the longstanding and constitutionally enshrined right, and with a claim that was blatantly false.
“We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, just as oral arguments in the Supreme Court hearing had ended.
Despite Trump’s claim, birthright citizenship exists in dozens of countries, including the United States’ neighbors Canada and Mexico. In the United States, birthright citizenship was enshrined as a right in 1868 through the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Trump has long sought to eliminate birthright citizenship in the United States, signing an executive order on his first day back in office last year to challenge the longstanding precedent.
