Both of the recent presidents have made some very questionable pardons.
In this case we elected a President who categorically said he's pardon people who engaged in criminal behavior for him. The voters expressed a preference for corruption, and trying to fix that after the fact won't help. A democratic country that wants corruption will have it.

It's a side effect of SCotUS gifting an unprecedented 90% win rate to this administration (40%-65% for prev admins). The court is effectively enabling this exec branch while protecting it from the consequences of it's actions.
The [Social Security] agency has historically limited access to sensitive
data to prevent it from leaking. But the Supreme Court had granted DOGE
members "unfettered" access to Social Security data last summer
