A political cartoon shows a caricature of Donald Trump standing on a paint-splattered stepladder in front of a columned building, tucking dollar bills into his pocket while changing letters on a large marquee-style price board that reads "TRUTH API $100,000 MO" and "MULTI-YEAR $60,000"; a speech balloon from him says "Free tier reads the newspaper." To the right, a heavyset bearded man in sunglasses and an apron labeled "DON JR." holds out a card-payment terminal with cash stuffed in his apron pocket, while at lower left a crowd of men raises hands, smartphones, and money toward the sign, and the artist's signature "lbid" appears in the bottom right corner.

Trump Media & Technology Group has launched "Truth API," selling trading firms expedited machine-readable access to posts by Trump and other officials for $100,000 a month, or $60,000 a month on a multi-year contract; the company says posts reach every subscriber the instant they are public. Trump holds a 41 percent stake in TMTG, worth roughly $1.2 billion, in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr. Sens. Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren have written to the SEC calling the product an abuse of the presidency for personal benefit.
