“Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals,” the editorial board writes. https://t.co/90p0oikL6f

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

No president has ever used the federal government to advance his own personal interests and those of his family and allies as expansively and openly as Trump has. https://t.co/51Kfi70LJ2

7 months is a longtime to make meaningful impact- eg: Cassidy Iran powers war vote today.

So sharp

US tax authorities will be barred from pursuing claims against the president, his eldest sons and the Trump Organization under a deal to halt a $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. https://t.co/UTiZF44UqA

Do you even remember what JOURNALISM looked and sounded like?

It sounded LIKE THIS.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent.

Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

[mike freeman @mikefreemanNFL]

Holy crap

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

Oh, that makes so much sense—Members of Congress should be allowed to trade on inside information so they can feed their families!! I guess that $174,000 salary is not enough. Now if only the poor could do the same with their $26,500.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

Every taxpayer needs to read this DoJ produced document that signs off on this unprecedented “settlement.” Just stunning how the political appointees at DoJ conspired with Trump to create this $1.7B slush fund which literally can be used to pay anyone Trump desires. https://t.co/blI8Vn65Yr

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Most people will only see the spin around Trump’s $1.8b settlement fund. But once you walk through the timeline, the level of corruption becomes impossible to dismiss. Read this one all the way through. https://t.co/AN0OdwqDh2

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Trump's corruption is so egregious, it has literally ended Jim Cramer's ability to use language.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Here’s the bottom line. Donald Trump wants to take $1.8 billion dollars of money that taxpayers like you and me have paid to the government, and he wants to give it to his most hardcore followers. https://t.co/Uw23r43zRn

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

In case you've forgotten, here are some of the things learned from the Trump tax returns leaked by a government contractor in 2020:

In 10 of the 15 years before Trump won the presidency, Trump paid no federal income tax. In 2016 and 2017, he paid $750. https://t.co/yGgjY0sQdP

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The degree to which this @POTUS is shamelessly milking his position for every dollar he and his family can take is remarkable.
Now he appears to be sidestepping the courts to set up a direct transfer of $$ from the treasury to him!

Trump administration establishes $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who claim they were targeted by the Biden Justice Department, creating a potential pipeline to funnel taxpayer money to his allies and supporters. @aduehren @GlennThrush @alanfeuer https://t.co/5rA2tkZId0

NEW: The Newest Oldest President

Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now.

But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing https://t.co/OwHhpILS6Z
