The power to pardon was meant to serve mercy and justice, not political protection. If we don’t hold leaders accountable for abusing it, we’re teaching every president to do the same. It’s time to demand real consequences.

When asked about the Binance cryptocurrency executive he pardoned, Trump said, “I don’t know who he is.” He’s issuing pardons so casually that he can’t even name who’s benefiting from them. https://t.co/rxRvgWWhMA

In another move, Trump pardoned former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his aide–both convicted on federal bribery and corruption charges. Once again, political loyalty seems to matter more than justice. https://t.co/f2aiqGfRTy

Trump also pardoned hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol on January 6, including those who attacked police officers. It’s a rewrite of history meant to erase the consequences of an assault on democracy.

He’s pardoned Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and others involved in his scheme to subvert the 2020 election–even though many weren’t charged with federal crimes. The pardons block future administrations from holding them accountable.

Trump is handing out pardons like political favors. From allies tied to his effort to overturn the 2020 election to state politicians convicted of corruption, he’s using the pardon power to protect his inner circle. https://t.co/AGZPPA6ZMJ

Our law enforcement agencies are meant to keep us safe, not serve the President’s personal political agenda. Tell Congress the FBI is not a tool for political retribution:

When law enforcement is used as a tool for political retribution, it hurts all of us. We lose trust in those who are supposed to protect us, agents become afraid to speak up, and unethical or illegal behavior becomes the norm.

The firing came after news stories revealed Patel had used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend perform at a wrestling match. Three agents are suing Patel, claiming that they were fired in a campaign of retribution led by the White House and the Justice Department.

In the past few weeks, Kash Patel has fired agents and supervisors at the FBI who were tied to the federal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He also fired the person who oversees the agency’s fleet of jets, and handles major security threats.

Trade decisions like these directly affect Americans. When the president acts without Congress, it shuts us out of the process. No one person should decide policies that shape our economy, especially when we are left to foot the bill.

Rep. Adrian Smith warned policies that “unduly influence and undermine the domestic cattle market threaten our domestic food security and are not helpful.” Ranchers just want a fair market, not one tilted by decisions that bypass Congress.

GOP Senators are speaking up, too. Sen. John Hoeven said the U.S. should “work with our ranchers rather than import more.” Sen. Deb Fischer added “It was good that a number of people spoke up about their concerns for beef producers in their states.”

Fourteen House Republicans, led by Jason Smith and Adrian Smith, urged the administration to secure “equivalent market access for U.S. beef exports” before allowing Argentina wider entry. They say this policy undermines American producers.

The White House says expanding Argentina’s quota to 80,000 metric tons will lower beef prices, but ranchers and lawmakers warn it could create even more competition for US ranchers already struggling, while offering little price relief to consumers.

A growing number of GOP lawmakers are rebuking Trump’s decision to expand low-tariff beef imports from Argentina, warning it will hurt American ranchers already struggling with high costs and tight supplies. https://t.co/DU7auHJ4Ww

Our military should be funded only by the people, full stop. Trump having a private donor to pay the military is yet another way he’s working to subvert Congress during the government shutdown. Only Congress has the power of the purse, it’s not up to Trump and private donors.

Now he’s bankrolling troop pay with his own fortune. This is not about why he is doing this, it's about the fact that Trump wants to allow it. If private donors can fund the military, who do our troops answer to?

The Pentagon says it accepted the money under its “general gift acceptance authority. Timothy Mellon is one of Trump’s biggest financial backers, donating tens of millions to his campaigns and super PACs.
