The pardon power should never be for sale, and it should never be used to enrich a president’s inner circle.
After everything we’ve seen, it’s time to put clear limits in place.
Enough is enough.

I strongly support a Constitutional amendment that would bar corrupt pardons, meaning no president could issue a pardon when the purpose is to shield themselves, their family, or their business interests.
Under Trump, it has repeatedly become a tool for favoritism, political payback, and now, potential financial entanglements involving his family’s private ventures.
That is exactly the kind of conflict our founders warned about, and exactly why reform is long overdue.
Trump’s pattern of self-serving pardons makes one thing clear: no president should ever be able to use this power to protect their own financial interests or reward those who help them personally.
The pardon power is supposed to be a tool for justice.

🚨NEW 2026 ENDORSEE🚨
We are supporting Rep. @mikelevin.org again! He:
✅ is a proven leader on climate policy
✅ co-sponsored the Nuclear First-Strike Security Act
✅ has direct oversight over nuclear weapons programs at the NNSA on the appropriations committee
Mike Johnson kept House Republicans out for seven weeks doing nothing to help families.
Now he is back pushing bills that weaken clean air and clean water and will raise energy costs, all to keep Big Oil happy.
Cheap energy is clean energy, and Americans deserve more of it, not less.

ABC should've never settled with Trump. When you give in to a bully, he pushes harder.
His attacks on Mary Bruce show exactly why backing down is a mistake.
She showed courage by asking tough questions. We need more reporters like her.
News outlets must stop rewarding Trump’s intimidation.

Trump says we’re in a “golden age” while families can’t afford groceries.
Maybe it looks golden to him because he’s busy plastering gold all over the White House.
For everyone else, it’s just higher prices and a president completely out of touch.

Yale & Penn found that literally tens of thousands of people will die because of the Trump Administration’s cuts to healthcare.
I will never stop fighting for a right to quality, affordable care for every American.

Trump did it again.
Today, he publicly took MBS’ side over his own intelligence community, even though our agencies unanimously concluded that MBS approved the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
This is a clear betrayal of American interests.
When an American president elevates the word of authoritarian leaders over our intelligence community, he weakens our national security, undermines the professionals who protect this country, and signals to strongmen everywhere that they can do whatever they want as long as they flatter him.
It’s the same playbook as Helsinki, when Trump stood next to Putin and dismissed clear findings of Russian election interference.
This isn’t just embarrassing on the world stage.
It’s dangerous.

Translation so you don't have to read Trump’s rant:
he doesn’t give a damn about Epstein’s survivors.
He only cares about deflecting from the truth, protecting abusers, and persecuting his political enemies.

Trump has fought release of the Epstein Files for years and now may use a new DOJ probe as a smokescreen to stall them again.
Here’s the truth: he could release the files RIGHT NOW.
If he wanted them out, they would already be out. time.com/7334450/epst...
