The Trump administration keeps violating the Hatch Act.

Here's how the admin is trying to illegally tip the scales for preferred states and candidates—and what we're doing about it. https://t.co/VgW1yyIt2q

The 9th Circuit ruled that Trump violated federal law by seizing control of the California National Guard, writing that his order “exceeded the President’s statutory authority."

That's good news. We filed amicus brief in the case making similar points.

During a national No Kings mobilization, Meta temporarily suspended the No Kings Instagram account, raising free speech and corporate censorship concerns.

We requested records from DHS, ICE, DOJ and FBI seeking records regarding Meta and No Kings.

If voter fraud is such a concern for Trump, why would he pardon a former election official who was convicted on three misdemeanors and four felonies in an election interference case related to a security breach of her county's voting system?

About two-thirds of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's dollars for 2026 are publicly unaccounted for.

Once staffed by about 280 employees, Trump laid off over 120, including nearly all the grant officers.

This is highly problematic.

Safari Club International auctioned off a week long Mongolian hunting trip with Don Jr this summer.

Just a reminder: Buying access to power is an ethics concern, whether it’s through a charity, a wedding, a campaign donation or a lavish gift. https://t.co/KiKTpdLyZd

A federal judge extended an order blocking the Trump admin from cutting down additional trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.

"This started as a case about golf. That good walk spoiled. But it has become much more," the judge wrote in her decision.

DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin praised NC Senate candidate Michael Whatley and attacked Senate candidate Roy Cooper during a recent press conference event.

Given that this isn't his first Hatch Act violation, the OSC must investigate this matter promptly.

A senior DOJ official, Leo Terrell, posting repeatedly on social media advocating for the success or failure of a candidate for partisan office or political party: https://t.co/5rVwMea6hi

Steven Cheung violated the Hatch Act once again. This time he reposted a video on his official account of Trump advocating against Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and wrote his own "red flags" about El-Sayed.

This deserves OSC's immediate attention.

Constitutional reminders for the Trump administration:

-States run elections, not the federal government.

-Congress decides federal spending, not the president.

The specific scheme may be different every day. But the power grab is the same.

JD Vance said that selling access to the White House is "disgusting and despicable" and deserves "consequences."

We agree.

Selling presidential access to the highest bidder is straight out of Trump's corrupt playbook. So will he hold his own boss accountable?

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

White House officials shouldn't be using their official capacity to promote their own books—but Peter Navarro did.

So you bet we filed a complaint. https://t.co/jvZmToqWha

A federal judge ruled against Trump and the DOJ over the firing of Maurene Comey from the Manhattan US attorney's office—saying they violated the separation of powers and Administrative Procedure Act.

You can't just fire people because you feel like it.

The Census Bureau should withdraw its apparently unlawful proposed rule that would disproportionately impact immigrant communities.

We've submitted a comment.

Pretty spooky that Trump is the first president since Nixon to refuse to release his tax returns.

Yes, it's concerning that the Secret Service is claiming to have no records on Trump's memecoin gala, given the clear security concerns.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers have joined forces to investigate and document instances of political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by Trump's DOJ.

NEW: The Trump administration is trying to use the authority of the executive branch to illegally engage in politics and tip the scales for preferred states and candidates, in violation of the Hatch Act.

Here's how CREW is demanding accountability.

A newly filed court document reveals extensive communications between Kennedy Center management and Trump’s advisers around court rulings and board votes over the institution’s future.

The public deserves more transparency from this administration.

President Trump's second term pardons and clemency orders have erased at least $119 million in unpaid restitution to crime victims, including small businesses and community banks.

One of many concrete harms of Trump's corruption... https://t.co/x9F9gkF9pD
