🧵Trump is for sale.

High powered lawyers, thugs, racketeers, drug traffickers, murderers, fraudsters, and scammers are all lining up to get a pardon from Trump, and he says, "Come on in."

Trump’s pardon racket has literally become a lucrative cottage industry.

What it takes to get a Trump pardon: Loyalty, connections or the pardon czar

President Trump’s revamped clemency process has fueled efforts to seek his attention.

Meet the 37 private donors for Trump’s ballroom—many of whom have ongoing governmental contracts or regulatory cases.

It sure looks like their multi-million dollar donations are a way to curry favor.

Q: “Do you agree that Americans are paying those tariffs?”

Trump: “No, I don't agree. I think that they might be paying something…The Americans are gaining tremendously. They're gaining through national security. Look, I'm ending war because of these tariffs.”

The Spanberger-Sherrill-Mamdani axis hints at the outlines of an emerging Democratic coalition for the Trump 2.0 era. It can and should be organized around both anti-Trump and affordability politics.

Because they are often deeply complementary or even one and the same. trib.al/ICogBVB

Listen, my children, as here is unfurled
The story of the sandwich that was hurled
On the 10th of August in ‘25;
What a moment to be alive!

As many chose to look down and duck,
One man decided he had to stand up,
And so he wound up, and said ‘What the f___’
And gave his sandwich a freedom chuck.
