The midterms are coming and Republicans will get what they deserve.
Donald Trump and the Republicans came into power promising to focus on the thing Americans cared about most: prices. Lower costs, starting on day one. That was the deal. It’s what a lot of people voted for, including plenty of people who didn’t much like Trump but were tired of paying more for groce
Advance a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United
I urge you to support and advance a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United and related campaign finance decisions, restoring the authority of Congress and the states to set meaningful limits on political spending. The Supreme Court continues to weaken protections against the influence
White House election hack exposed. Trump's election meddling continues.
Two former administration officials say that early in Trump’s second term, political appointees at Homeland Security asked CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, to secretly acquire a voting machine, break into it, and report what they found so it could go to the White House. Th
Trump's bribes get even more desperate. Yikes!
We’ve already talked about the 5,000 dollar checks, and the 90 dollar bonuses to seniors on Medicare. We also talked about the 500 dollar Obamacare checks that came with letters bragging about Trump’s healthcare record. More recently there was the 8 billion dollar bailout for farmers suffering from
Musk tries to buy forgiveness. He must be held accountable.
Let’s start with Ukraine. On Friday, Musk said that the Starlink disruptions that are still limiting Ukrainian drone operations were decided by the US military and POTUS. But the Telegraph recently reported that it was Musk who went to Trump with the idea of capping the speed. When the cap caused ch
Trump guts Russia sanctions, proving once again who he works for.
In September, Congress passed a bill called the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. Graham spent the last months of his life fighting for the bill, and the Senate backed it 86 to 11. Trump signed it, and it was set to take effect on 10/18/26. Just before, with no notice, he signed an ex
A judge halts Trump's golf project. Criminal Trump ignores the law, anyway.
Trump has taken his latest legal war over his Washington, D.C. makeover to East Potomac Golf Links. It’s a century-old public course along the Potomac River. Trump wants to turn it into what he calls a world-class venue. The project met backlash right away. And in May, a federal judge ordered the T
From “Russia Hoax” to directly aiding Putin, where is your constitutional duty?
In 2024, Republicans warned that Kamala Harris would drag America into World War III, including war with Iran, while dismissing concerns about Trump’s relationship with Russia as a hoax. Now, America is locked in an illegal war with Iran while Trump weakens sanctions against Russia, provides Putin e
Trump’s taxpayer ads ruled Illegal. Where's our refund?
You’ve probably seen one of these commercials by now: they’re the same kind of edits you see MAGA accounts pushing on X, starring Trump and his cabinet and talking up the administration. They were paid for with 20 million dollars of taxpayer money that Trump personally asked his budget director to f
Pass campaign finance reform to stop billionaire election takeovers
Pass meaningful campaign finance reform before one trillionaire's checkbook decides who runs the country. Federal filings show Elon Musk's America PAC has already spent $76.7 million this midterm cycle, with $35.8 million going to a field operation spanning all seven Senate battleground states. That
The White House hides tax cut data from the Big Ugly Bill.
Every year, after filing season, the IRS publishes a report showing what people at every income level deducted and what they owed. And this year, that data will be the first real look at the big tax law Republicans passed in 2025. Politico reports the release was scheduled for July. Then it slipped
Even Fox News can’t spin inflation caused by Trump's terrible policies.
Prices rose 3.7% over the last year, up from the 3.4% reported in August. In September alone, they jumped 0.6%, the biggest one-month increase since May. Inflation was on its way down from peak COVID. Then Trump launched his “little expedition” in Iran, and it spiked. Gas climbed almost 10% in a m
Trump hosts foreign crypto buyers, further profiteering.
In November, Trump is hosting a dinner at his Washington golf club for the biggest holders of his very own Trump coin. The top 29 get a VIP reception with the President. Trump’s companies own 80 percent of the coin and collect a fee every time it trades, so the President has made some serious cash:
No Diesel from Russia
I am writing to urge you to oppose the administration’s decision to license Russian diesel sales to American and global markets, and to demand the immediate withdrawal of General License 135. Following a call with Putin, the President announced that Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000
Voters reject Trump’s illegal midterm bribe. Now where are the consequences?
Half of Trump voters are not certain the president should even lead the party heading into the midterms. But Trump has put himself front and center anyway. That means striking a deal with Vladimir Putin as a desperate attempt to lower gas prices. And it means dusting off the whole 5,000 dollar chec
Corrupt Trump’s corrupt DHS raids Ilhan Omar.
Recently, agents from the Department of Homeland Security executed a search warrant at Representative Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C. Omar represents Minnesota’s 5th District, and like every House member, she’s up for reelection next month. Officials have said little about why. The Justice De
Trump weaponizes the DOJ against the free press, like a dictator.
Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, then pulled CNN out of the TV pool rotation. That prompted a united response from the five networks. They briefly stopped providing pool coverage. And they released a joint statement: “No administration should restrict a news organization
Trump escalates his war on civil rights.
The civil rights division is the part of the Justice Department that enforces voting rights laws, fights discrimination, and prosecutes hate crimes. For decades, under presidents of both parties, it attracted some of the best legal talent in the country. That changed last year. Since early 2025, mo
Trump can't understand why he doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll explain.
Trump’s upset he didn’t get the Nobel peace prize, so let’s take a good, long, realisticlook at the issue. Donald Trump is: * An adjudicated rapist * A multiple convicted felon * A failed businessman * A grifter who is profiting off of his position as president while Americans suffer * A convi
Block Trump's sanctions waiver on Russian diesel. He's a gift to Putin.
Block Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel. This deal betrays our troops in the Middle East, our European allies, Ukraine, and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in which the United States pledged to defend Ukraine's sovereignty. Russia is actively supplying Iran with intelligence used to
I urge you to stand against the barbaric and idiotic decision by Hegseth to livestream an execution. This is beyond not okay. Demand Hegseth to reverse this decision. We are not this type of country.
Trump plays politics with disaster aid (and everything else) again.
At the start of September, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine asked for federal help in 23 counties after severe storms tore through the state. Trump sat on the request. Until the time was just right. During an Ohio rally for unelected Republican Senator Jon Husted, Trump announced to the crowd that he had
DHS continues to hunt fraud it can't find.
The New York Times got its hands on some internal DHS documents through a public records request. They show the department snooping on more than 150 groups that they thought were helping noncitizens register to vote. Officials even considered sending in undercover agents to “disrupt activities.” If
As always, Trump is focused on the wrong thing and in the wrong way.
With prices way up at home and an illegal war continuing abroad, the GOP is fighting tooth and nail over daylight savings time. The bill in question is the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight savings time permanent. Trump wants it, but Tom Cotton of Arkansas has been blocking it, cit
Silence is not neutrality
I am fucking angry. And I think every American should be, including YOU! At a rally in Nebraska last night, President Trump reportedly talked about Iran “taking out” Los Angeles and San Diego and described the destruction as a “small price to pay” for ending the war. And the crowd cheered. They
Trump begs Republicans to vote by mail after calling it a scam for years.
Let’s think back on the President’s angry tirades against mail-in ballots on Truth Social. In July, they were “inherently corrupt.” And just last month, voting by mail was “totally CORRUPT and out of control,” and a “Nation Destroying SCAM.” And he tried, more than once, to do something about it. T
DOJ trying to rewrite history to give Trump cover for his crimes.
I am writing as your constituent to demand immediate congressional oversight into confirmed reports that the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) hosted a two-hour briefing from Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon aide, promoting the conspiracy theory that Richard Nixon was
The White House recycles a Trump ad with OUR money.
Recently, we saw the “Love Me” ad, a 30 second ode to Trump paid for by the federal government. In case you thought that was a one-off, the administration released another gem over the weekend. It ran during Fox News Sunday, Saturday Night Live, and two football games, costing the taxpayer north of
Where is the oversight? Hold Trump accountable for defying court orders.
Trump is openly defying a federal court order and you need to act. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued an order blocking the White House from banning CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from press access — and Trump barred CNN from Air Force One anyway, twice in one week. That is not a policy dispute. Th
No more obstruction. Release the Trump-Epstein Files.
Stop shielding Donald Trump from accountability on the Epstein files. On September 30, 2026, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the Justice Department to fast-track FOIA requests for investigative records mentioning Trump and Mar-a-Lago, along with internal communications from senior
