Trump pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for running an online platform where drug dealers conducted more than $200 million in illegal drug sales. He doesn't care about Fentanyl.

Trump’s goal last night was distraction—because he knows he has failed to deliver for Americans. While I’ve been working to lower costs for families, he + his flunkies are trying to rip that help away. They’d rather punish those of us doing the work than actually serve the people. We won’t let them

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

Katherine Clark: "We just see cowardice. We just see them bowing to Trump, bowing to the fear Elon Musk will fund a primary opponent for them. Is there any red line that they won't cross? Is there anything that they won't give from their constituents to the billionaire class bc Trump told them so."

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
