The chemical industry has scored major wins during Trump’s 2nd term, including a proposal to gut the majority of a 2024 rule aiming to prevent chemical plant disasters.

16 Trump-appointed EPA officials received at least $2.8M from the chemical industry.

The Supreme Court Has Invented a Right to Discriminate.

This week, the Roberts Court made clear that when it comes to drawing congressional districts, Black voters have no rights that anyone is bound to respect.

All four Iowa Republicans voted NO on military aid to Ukraine and tougher sanctions for Russia.
Once upon a time, @RepMMM, @RepAshleyHinson, @ZachNunn, and @RepFeenstra voiced support for Ukraine and condemned Russian aggression.

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

The Trump Presidential Library said it has no records of DMs Trump sent on Twitter during his first term, despite the fact he tweeted over 25,000 times during that period.

That raises more questions about his compliance with the Presidential Records Act.

Sen. Dan Sullivan is corrupt as they come.

He's become incredibly wealthy during his time in the Senate, backed policies that benefit a multinational chemical company he holds stake in, and raked in campaign contributions from the company’s top executives. #AKSen

Never forget that the biggest victims of cancel culture have always been Palestinians and supporters of Palestinians and in this case someone who just mentioned the word Palestinian.

The Supreme Court Is Illegitimate.

The court’s conservatives ripped the mask off the institution in a brief, unsigned decision allowing Alabama to use a racially discriminatory congressional map.

Wild story about #IA02 GOP front-runner Joe Mitchell.

"Mitchell’s campaign spending at Mar-a-Lago — $77, 390.18 — tops that of any other Republican running for Congress this cycle entering April," according to a NOTUS analysis of FEC records.

The Supreme Court has been captured by right-wing special interest donors who only care about their conservative agenda.

It's time to reform the court.

Welcome to Donald Trump’s corrupt administration, where experience doesn’t matter and you’ll be rewarded for sucking up with a federal appointment. What a joke.

Fifteen laws in 11 states that could immunize the fossil fuel industry from climate-related legal claims have either been passed or are being debated.

Many bills are part of a coordinated effort by groups linked to right-wing activist Leonard Leo.

The administration should be working to improve opportunities for all American businesses, not playing favorites... like the president buying Dell stock and then the Pentagon giving the company a $9.7 billion contract.

At the end of Trump's first term, he pardoned a GOP fundraiser named Elliott Broidy after he pleaded guilty to illegally lobbying Trump and his administration.

Just last month, Broidy's AI company won a $106M contract from the DOJ.

CBS NEWS(Max): “Trump made time to visit with U.S. service members during his trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but he did not see any of the 14 troops injured in the war he started with Iran who are also recovering at the hospital.” https://t.co/SxrzqXcn4e
