You need to act on two compounding crises right now: Trump's family crypto venture just received a preliminary bank charter from a regulator Trump appointed, and our military is falling apart while he parties at Bedminster. On the corruption: World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's cryptocurrency operation, has been approved to become a bank — meaning Trump is now the first president in history to approve, operate, and supervise his own bank. Senator Warren put it plainly: "This is the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen." Reuters estimates WLF has funneled over $1.6 billion to Trump and his family as of April 2026. Support the bill Warren and nine other senators are introducing to bar presidents and senior officials from owning or controlling a bank. On the military: sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have lost up to 30 pounds from food shortages, are drinking bad water, and have attempted self-harm during a deployment stretched far past its scheduled end. When a reporter asked Trump if he was worried about their mental health, he said "Not nearly long enough." Meanwhile, Trump is cutting joint military exercises with South Korea — a key ally — because Kim Jong Un is his friend, even as North Korea sends 50,000 troops to fight for Putin in Ukraine. Demand a full congressional investigation into both the military readiness crisis and the WLF bank charter. This is corruption and incompetence happening simultaneously, in plain sight.
