Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children.

@harryjsisson Trump’s second term is a disaster, drowning the middle class in inflation and broken promises while his billionaire cronies feast on tax cuts and deregulation.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly planning a $50 million military-style birthday parade—complete with 6,600 troops, 150+ vehicles, 50 helicopters, and seven marching bands.

At the same time, he canceled funding to feed starving children through the USAID program.

For the cost of this ego-fest, we could feed 1 million kids for an entire month.

Who looks at that trade-off and says, “Yes, this is leadership”?

@SenAdamSchiff This is the one that is stunningly brazen snd downright illegal in my eyes

[Chips'n'Dips RKLB TSLA 🦛 @BruceTa55302936]

@SenAdamSchiff Totally agree crazy no one seems to talk about this much (or is X down playing them). This was a huge crazy thing. I asked Crock (Grok) if Russia might bribe Trump this way. It seems no not really but I do wonder. Load into it (transaction fees, ability to see etc). Maybe.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

This Trump Corruption List is nowhere near comprehensive. That's exactly the problem.

I'm going to continue doing everything I can, every single day to rein in this corrupt president. And dangerous Administration.

I know you will, too.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#1 - The Memecoin

Effectively posting his Venmo for the entire world to buy favor, Trump's memecoin is the most egregious, and most lucrative example of political corruption in modern history.

In fees alone, Trump has seen hundreds of millions of dollars flow into his personal bank account and that of his kids, including money from foreign interests looking to buy influence.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#2 - The DOJ as Personal Attorneys

He hired his top criminal lawyers to lead the department. The result?

Cases against Trump allies dropped.
Investigations into critics launched.

The DOJ under Trump hasn't just been politicized — it has been weaponized to reward loyalty and punish dissent.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#3 - Picking Apart the Law Firms

Trump publicly threatened law firms which employed lawyers or represented clients he didn’t like, chilled legal opposition to his policies, and extorted hundreds of millions in free legal work for his pet causes.

A literal racket.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#4 - Spending Tax Dollars at His Own Properties

So far, Trump has made 63 visits to his own properties costing taxpayers millions of dollars that go directly into his pocket.

At least half of those were golf visits, including while he sent the stock market tumbling.

I guess that's par for the course.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#5 - Billionaire Favoritism

Trump’s FAA threatened to cancel a long-standing contract with Verizon in hopes of replacing it with a contract with Elon Musk-owned Starlink.

No open bidding. No oversight. Just blatant favoritism for a billionaire donor and buddy.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#6 - Musk's Insider Info

Elon Musk and his DOGE bros gained access to enforcement data at OSHA, and the private information of millions of Americans held by the IRS and other agencies.

He now holds the data to power his AI, or to weaponize against his competitors.

Under Trump, access to your data is a perk of friendship.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window

Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials.

Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#8 - Quid Pro Quo …Again

Indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams got his charges dropped in what appeared to be a quid pro quo for pledging to do Trump’s dirty work on unrelated immigration policy.

Numerous DOJ officials resigned in protest, and justice was never served.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#9 - Gutting the Watchdogs

Trump has acted to dismantle or manipulate regulatory agencies, like the NLRB and CFPB, that are, in many cases, investigating companies owned by Musk and Trump's other billionaire buddies.

With no watchdogs, corruption becomes policy.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

#10 - The Tesla Ad

During a Tesla stock crash and days after Elon Musk infused $100m into Trump's political operation, the two stood on the South Lawn of the White House, posing for the cameras while the President purchased a Tesla.

Pay to play and product placement on the White House lawn.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable.

Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples.

I think NATO and Zelenskyy should feed the Tramp admistration false information on weapon depot locations in Ukraine.
Russia would most likely hit those "targets" waiting energy and resources.
This would tell the world what we already suspect. Putin wouldn't know if he could trust tramp anymore. 🤔

Is this too simple of a tactic, or just what we need?

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Since some in govt and the @gop seem to have forgotten how a war works, here’s a reminder.

For a defending nation to win, they just have to….. wait for it…. Keep on defending.

Ukraine is winner and Russia is destroying its youth

Basic math

[Perl ✨ @perlsmagic]

@RBReich What I’ll never understand is that we bail out banks but not hard working people trying to do more for their families by continuing their education further than the economic background they were born into 😢 criminal.
