Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

On International Anti-Corruption Day, it’s worth remembering how Trump has turned the pardon power into a pay-to-play enterprise to reward wealthy donors and political allies while leaving victims in the dust 🧵

Donald Trump, Jr.’s net worth has increased six-fold since his father was reelected.
Eric Trump has gotten ten times richer over the same time period.
Funny how that works, huh?

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

Coffee prices are up 21%.
Ground beef prices up 13%.
Big reason why?
Trump’s chaotic tariffs on Brazil.
I voted to repeal these tariffs along with every Democrat and a few Republicans, and it PASSED the Senate.
All eyes now on House Republicans who are still on vacation.

Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.
