Trump says, "the whole world has turned into a casino." Clearly, the White House has, and Trump is cashing in. Trump's apparent insider trading must be stopped.

Trump is parading his UFC fight as a celebration for America 250. But his fight on the South Lawn isn't a celebration for our country, it's a garish birthday party closing out his 7-figure fundraiser. The grift doesn't stop.

President Trump still wants to pay off violent insurrectionists who attacked police officers on January 6th. If he can’t use his personal slush fund, he may seek other ways to misuse taxpayer funds.

Make no mistake: in California, our democracy is working as it should. But our President is doing everything in his power to make you doubt that with constant lies. His baseless, anti-democratic rhetoric has no place in our electoral process.

President Trump’s attempt to claim that he can ignore the War Powers Act because hostilities have ceased is wrong both factually and legally. The bombs are still dropping and the ports are still blockaded. No wonder the administration refuses to release the legal opinion justifying the war.

Senate Republicans just voted to send ICE $72 BILLION without any reforms. Now ICE is hiding data on the condition of their detention facilities, their treatment of detainees, and the deaths that have resulted. Republicans chose to bankroll this cruelty and lack of transparency.

This is exactly why temporary appointments to avoid the scrutiny of a confirmation hearing are so dangerous. You can do a lot of damage in 200 days. And he is not stopped, he will. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

You cannot afford to donate to Trump’s ballroom, so he does nothing to improve the quality of your life. But for those who can, there are billions in government contracts. This is the cost of corruption.

Once again, Hegseth refuses to advance several eminently qualified women and people of color in the military. Instead, he is pushing a crony who has been passed over for promotion multiple times. Our military and our national security suffer from his special brand of malign incompetence.

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

The Acting Attorney General — and Trump’s criminal defense lawyer — claimed that he had settled Trump’s suit against the IRS by holding Trump, his family and businesses immune from audit. That would protect $100 million of the president’s potentially fraudulent tax claims. 🧵

Americans can't "sit back and relax" when gas prices are through the roof. This war has made prices at the pump and the grocery store unbearable for millions of Americans. Trump's cavalier attitude is breathtaking.

This initial roadblock to Trump's $1.776 BILLION slush fund is a good first step to stopping this graft, but Congress needs to act to ensure that cop-beaters and criminals never see a dime of your tax dollars. Next week, I'll be introducing legislation to shut down this corrupt slush fund for good.

The Office of Government Ethics has been operating without a permanent director for more than a year after Trump fired the previous head of the office — effectively kneecapping the agency. No wonder there's been an explosion of corruption within the administration.

BREAKING: An important victory in stopping $1 billion of your tax dollars from being used to pay for Trump’s golden ballroom. But the fight is not over, as Senate Republicans promise to keep trying. They will fight for Trump’s ballroom, but not to help you make ends meet.

First, Donald Trump sues his own IRS to enrich himself. Now he wants to use billions in taxpayer funds to compensate his allies, including thousands charged for the January 6 insurrection. This is easily the most corrupt regime in U.S. history.

One of our greatest challenges after Trump is gone will be rebuilding the DOJ and preventing future prosecutorial abuses — no more 'seashells cases.' We must codify new guardrails to protect the DOJ’s independence for good.

A ballroom he promised taxpayers wouldn't pay for. A wall he promised Mexico would. And now a no-bid contract for a favored pool contractor costing taxpayers millions more. Trump's art of the deal is, and always will be, a scam.
