Russell Vought once said he wanted federal workers “traumatically affected.” Now Trump wants Vought on a board that can block NIH grants. When a president turns health research into leverage against political enemies, families pay in delayed cures. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
Curtis, Tillis, & Cornyn want a formal investigation into a Russian billionaire’s money for Don Jr.‘s wedding. Now watch whether they follow through. Because if they bury it, your vote, your paycheck & your safety are still for sale. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
A career prosecutor raised concerns about the John Brennan case, and Trump’s DOJ removed that prosecutor from the team. That’s how a department built to follow evidence becomes a weapon: push out anyone asking whether there’s actually a crime. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
We haven't forgotten the Russian oligarch who paid for Don Jr.'s wedding. Hundreds of thousands, no strings? Please. If it's a gift, show us the receipts. If it's a payment, tell us what it bought, because we're the ones living with it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
Aave's lending deal with World Liberty never happened. Ethena's stablecoin never got used. Ondo's tokenized Treasuries never launched. What did happen: $594M added to Trump's net worth, an SEC case dropped, and a pardon. Read the pattern, not the pitch. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
A House watchdog found reason to believe Mike Collins’ paid $10,000+ to Caroline Craze, the chief of staff’s girlfriend, for work she didn’t do. Collins calls it meritless. Taxpayer jobs aren’t private favors for a politician’s inner circle. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
Republican Sen. John Curtis wants Don Jr. subpoenaed: "A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else." Yeah, no kidding. If his own party buries this, you're the one who pays. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
On hidden camera, pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl told a 60 Minutes source that $300,000 could help a felon get a presidential pardon. Three hundred grand. Wild. When a pardon has a price tag, justice is a luxury item, and you can't afford it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
Trump can't beat the judges or silence the press, so he plasters his name and face on everything. Ruth Ben-Ghiat sees it for what it is. Your November vote is the check he can't fake, and if you sit out, nobody else is stopping him. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
A child in Abilene wakes up at night thinking it’s morning because a giant data center lights his bedroom window. Ken Paxton has taken half a million dollars from data center interests. Texans shouldn’t sacrifice their homes so Paxton’s donors can cash in. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
$1.8 billion for Trump’s vanity projects could cover a year of medical expenses for 88,000 veterans or 600 million school lunches. Trump’s Republican puppets keep finding money for his ego while telling families the country can’t afford basic care. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
No service member should have to choose between deployment and protecting a family member from deportation. Tammy Duckworth is right to call out Trump: if citizenship cannot keep military families home, it cannot protect the rest of us either.

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
The 1st Circuit ruled it flat out: migrants got no fair shot to say they'd face torture before being shipped to a country that isn't theirs. Trump wants the Supreme Court to bless skipping due process. Stripping migrants' rights trains the muscle for yours. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
28,700 trades for Trump. 19,400 for the whole House. 2,900 for the Senate. Per Bloomberg, one man out-traded all 535 lawmakers, and he's the one who sets tariffs. Somebody's on the other side of every bet he makes, and it's your 401(k). #TrumpsCorruptCongress
"Financial support was expected." That's what Susan Collins reportedly told a donor before he got $32M in Navy contracts and she got $150K routed through a shell company. Agents had a real bribery case. Trump purged the FBI unit running it, and it died.

Sen. John Curtis, a Republican, wants Don Jr. subpoenaed over a Putin-connected oligarch's party. Durbin says he'll back it. Call your senators today and demand they sign on.
Rich men don't hand out favors free, and you're the one who gets the bill.

Abbott gave $500,000 to Trump's inauguration fund. Now the DOJ case over its allegedly tainted baby formula is reportedly gone. Call your members of Congress and demand answers. If a check can make a case vanish, no parent is safe from the next one. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
Republicans have dumped a staggering $160 million into Texas — and James Talarico is still leading.
At the Texas Tribune Festival, the moderator went through the last 10 public Senate polls.
Talarico led in all 10.
That’s not a blip. That’s a huge warning sign for the GOP.
Trump’s draft plan would put Russell Vought on a board with veto power over NIH grants, but Congress stopped the political review rule until Dec. 11. That reprieve came from pushback, and your voice can still protect research your family may someday need.
