It's a sick joke to claim a journo as accomplished as @nhannahjones shouldn't be hired into UNC with tenure because she lacks an "academic background." She is EXACTLY who should be getting tenure at a j-school. #yesyoureracist@ncpolicywatch has receipts: ncpolicywatch.com/2021/05/19/pw-…@nhannahjones@NCPolicyWatch Who's doing ideology-based canceling on campus?

A question that seems increasingly crucial: Can Trump pardon himself, family members, etc. WITHOUT the participation of Cipollone’s OLC and Rosen’s DOJ? How would that even work? Can he write it up on a cocktail napkin with a Sharpie? Make a video?
