Every day more instances of disgusting & blatant corruption revealed as our money is being plundered by the Trump Crime Family & their cronies. Do American voters care anymore about corruption? I guess we’ll find out soon because it’s just staggering with this crew of criminals.

As ICE arrests increase and the number of people in detention has hit a record high again of over 70,000, immigrant communities can’t wait another second. Constituents can’t wait until Congress is back in session. Urge your representatives to stop this escalation at aclu.org/stop-ice_killings

Bill Pulte, Trump's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, moved this week to slash the inspector general's office that scrutinizes his actions — prompting calls from Dems for his resignation. It's the second time Trump officials have moved to limit scrutiny of the agency run by Pulte.

Trump claims he is sending 1M $500 refund checks to people who were enrolled in Obamacare because they were overcharged. However, those people only live in red states or states where elections are close. Sounds like an effort to influence the election and an impeachable bribe. Use: InteractInk.com

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.
