“On Truth Social the president wrote: ‘I just called the mother of Ross William Ulbright to let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross.’ This pardon, which readers of This Is Common Sense have certainly heard about before, was a long time coming. Ross Ulbricht had been sentenced for establishing and running The Silk Road, a Dark Web marketplace, way back in 2015. Interestingly, Trump pardoned Ross, as he put it, in honor of Ross’s mother and friends — chiefly libertarians, specifically in the Libertarian Party. This may be the most significant thing the Libertarian Party has accomplished in years: a man is free.” (01/22/25)
