You promote what you permit. Trump’s family is profiting from his presidency so everyone underneath them thinks they can to.
Dems & @RepJeffries - you have to give @RepRaskin@RepRobertGarcia bigger budgets/staff to root out this rot.
Call it Oversight LLC!

There is no world in which this is okay.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

.@kurtbardella reacts to Trump’s proposed $1.776 billion fund and argues the plan lacks oversight, transparency, and accountability.
The conversation turns into a debate over executive power, Republican backlash, and whether the proposal is becoming a political problem for Republicans.

Months after the iconic imagine of Pam Bondi turning her back on Epstein survivors, Bondi returns to Capitol Hill to face Epstein Files questions tomorrow morning
Here’s what to expect and what Epstein survivors hope she’ll answer

BREAKING: An Epstein survivor says she believes Pam Bondi is “protecting somebody” and does not expect fully honest testimony regarding the Epstein files.
That’s the core reason this story refuses to disappear politically.
BREAKING: @RepRobertGarcia leads 140+ lawmakers in filing legal brief regarding Trump's illegal construction of White House ballroom. Read here:

The Epstein files were required by law to be released by December 2025.
Pam Bondi failed survivors, failed the American public, and failed to follow the law.
On Friday, @OversightDems and I will demand answers for this cover-up.
INBOX: Ahead of Pam Bondi's testimony tomorrow before House Oversight Cmte, watchdog @weareoversight sued the DOJ and FBI for previously FOIA'd records related to the government's review and release of the Epstein Files following the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act
Did you know? Republicans STOPPED holding most official hearings in Oversight months ago.
Why? Good question! It appears they’re afraid to give Members the opportunity to continue holding the Administration accountable in the Epstein investigation.
- Because we have subpoenaed tranches of files that the Admin still has not produced.
- Because we subpoenaed Pam Bondi and others.
- And you better bet we have plenty more to issue.
But leadership on the Committee doesn’t want any more action on the case, so they’ve pivoted to roundtables where no motions, subpoenas, or other official actions can take place.
The American people should be asking why the hell this Committee is no longer doing real oversight.
We should be working to seek justice for survivors. Instead, we have a Committee that is all talk and no action—and a chairman who is letting Bondi appear before the Committee NOT UNDER OATH TOMORROW.
The truth will come out one way or another—no matter how hard this Administration tries to cover it up. We. Won’t. Stop.
Today, @RepRaskin released a new fact sheet detailing the top 10 reasons why Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund and super-pardon for his family and businesses are unconstitutional, illegal, and a fraud on the court.
Former AG Pam Bondi is set to face questions tomorrow about her handling of the Epstein files. But there are multiple reasons to suspect she might not say much.

There is no reason we should not videotape Pam Bondi's interview. This is an important moment for the Epstein investigation, and she has a lot to answer for.
Republicans videotaped and released other interviews, so why not this one? Stop the White House cover-up.
