Trump has made it clear that he's the #PayToPlayPresident. He's putting his financial interests over the best interests of the American people. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Investigating possible corruption--like a Kremlin-linked oligarch's lavish wedding gift to Donald Trump Jr.--should not be a partisan issue. Congress should not ignore its oversight responsibility by looking the other way. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

A $150,000 illegal donation tied to Navatek, then a reported $32 million federal contract two months later: ProPublica’s reporting raises a serious question for Susan Collins, who denies wrongdoing. Senate seats belong to voters, not donors buying access. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

A federal judge ordered Trump to restore CNN, MS NOW, & POLITICO’s White House access immediately. He blocked reporters anyway. Chinese state media gets in while U.S. journalists get punished. Flip Congress; no president gets to make court orders optional. #BlueWaveIn40Days

A federal judge ruled this mail-ballot rule could cost you your vote this close to an election, & blocked it. Trump's answer was to ask the Supreme Court to let USPS enforce it anyway. This is the fight that decides whether your ballot even counts. #CorruptTrumpRegime
