Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly asked a Trump donor to wire her $100,000 to cover an AMEX bill before her confirmation as ambassador—after offering to help him with tax and legal issues using her sway in Trump world. This is textbook corruption and demands investigation.

‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

The President of the United States inviting Iran to "take out" two major American cities should receive as much coverage as a President of the United States having a bad debate.

Cancelling votes, refusing to conduct oversight—if you’re not willing to do your job, you shouldn’t have the job.   For 19 months, we’ve watched the GOP refuse to hold this Administration accountable. That’s why voting this November matters more than ever!

This weekend thousands of American patriots stood up to Trump's attacks on the Kennedy Center with a simple message: HANDS OFF.   This & every monument in America belong to the people, not to any President. We must continue to speak out; silence only emboldens Trump's lawbreaking.

It seems a little crazy to me for the president to refuse to repair a government building unless his name is put on it after Congress allocated the money for it. Seems like something Republicans running in the midterms should condemn. Unfortunately they are too afraid of Trump

Are we allowed to know where all the money is from the oil we’ve plundered from Venezuela? Where is it? How much is it? Has any of it been spent? Who has profited from it? Can we get a full accounting or is that too much to ask? I realize Republicans in Congress don’t care.

No Jeffries, stop lying. Stop giving patronizing answers. Kushner is only the son-in-law of the President. He is not a member of the House or Senate. He does not hold a formal, official title, or paid position as an employee within the federal government. When you meet with him you validate him.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.
