Wall Street and corporations have schemed for decades to stack the bench with judges who rule against consumers and workers. Result? Federal courts have distorted the law to further rig the economy—and you're paying the price. Democrats must be clear-eyed about this challenge.

Call it what it is: a pay-for-access grift. The top 185 Trump coin holders get a costly dinner, the top four get a gold watch, and buyers have lost an estimated $4.7 billion while Trump banks $635 million. The most corrupt meme coin dinner in history. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption
