6/ Of course big donors have always had access to politicians. But the scope and sophistication of this access operation is unprecedented.
And NEVER before has a President openly made money personally off selling access like this.
We shouldn't accept any of it.

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid.
No President has ever monetized access like Trump has.
1/ It's a story you need to know.

Another inflation report comes in hot. The Fed was right - Trump's tariffs have re-ignited inflation
"Trump’s tariffs have re-ignited inflation. Prices are rising. His economic agenda is bringing real, material harm to Americans. And what has he done in response to this failure of his economic plan and it’s rejection by Americans? He’s doubled down."
