They broke into the Capitol. Assaulted cops. Menaced elected officials (remember how fast Josh Hawley went running). And tried to overturn an election. Pardoning them is a disgrace.
Trump's J6 pardons is about as broad as you can get
"a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021"

I’ll never forget being in the Capitol this day 4 years ago and seeing all the broken windows, glass shards, and garbage the violent mob left behind. None of us should forget what really happened that day. thehill.com/homenews/house/5…

Pardoning people who assault police would send a message that the safety of officers does not matter and could risk politicizing the law enforcement of violent protests, U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger said.

I see a pay raise number of $243,000 (up from current $174,000) in outrage tweets, but that's incorrect. The $243k is what Congress would currently make if *all* COLA adjustments since 1992 were implemented.
The CR allows the 2025 COLA (3.8%) which would bring them to $180,600.

The US is now looking ahead to a new administration and Congress. But what won't change is the dire need to protect nature. Now is the time for lawmakers to act decisively to protect our environment and set the stage for what comes next: wwf.to/4frDg6C.

Legislation to protect nature is moving forward! Even in a gridlocked Congress and an election year, we’re seeing strong bipartisan support for vital polices that WWF advocates for.

Up to 40% of food in the US is wasted and left to rot in landfills that pollute our planet. As a Zero Food Waste Coalition member, WWF supports the provisions to reduce food loss and waste in @SenStabenow's Farm Bill proposal.

Forests are a critical ally in our fight against climate change, but we can’t rely on their help if we allow illegal deforestation to run rampant. Listen to this week’s episode of Nature Breaking to learn how Congress could take action to help: bit.ly/44rhzPm.

Today's House @NatResources Committee vote to advance the Indian Buffalo Management Act is a major step forward to restore buffalo to US grasslands. WWF is a proud ally in these efforts, guided and informed by the leadership of Native Nations.
