For the EIGHTH time, we will be bringing our War Powers Resolution to the floor to end Trump’s war with Iran. Republicans have a choice to stop catering to Trump and end this deeply unpopular war. They must vote yes.

Donald Trump thinks the federal government is his personal slush fund.

Trump is creating a nearly $2 billion slush fund with YOUR tax dollars to pay off his insurrectionist allies. This is where your money is actually going. I pushed to stop it. Republicans voted to allow it to happen. Shameful.

Did you know Trump's former personal attorney, who's now the Acting Attorney General, will appoint whoever he wants to oversee a $1.8 BILLION slush fund for Trump's political allies? First, Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists, and now he wants taxpayers to pay them off.

Donald Trump’s weaponized Justice Department just settled with… Donald Trump. What’d he get? A slush fund of $1.776 billion dollars for himself, his allies, and violent insurrectionists. He’s out for himself—not you.

Slashing limits on harmful forever chemicals in our drinking water won’t “Make America Healthy Again.” The admin talks a big game about “MAHA,” but when forced to choose between polluters and public health, they side with polluters every time. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into the Department of Corruption. He just set up a $1.7 BILLION slush fund to compensate insurrectionists and reward his political allies — blatantly misusing your taxpayer dollars and abusing his power. apnews.com/article/trum...
