Today marks 16 years since the Supreme Court put a price tag on our democracy with the disastrous Citizens United vs. FEC decision.
The ruling fundamentally changed our campaign finance system by opening the floodgates to unlimited and undisclosed money in our elections.
"And so, from day one, I’ve been a no-corporate PAC, no stock trading in Congress person. I don’t think you’re there to get rich. I think you’re there to serve your constituents, and I think your constituents, the voters in particular, are the ones you’re there to serve, not corporations." - @MattMaasdam #MI07
Ken Paxton is corrupt as they come.
In November, Texans will vote for @jamestalarico because he's committed to making sure working people come first and putting an end to corrupt schemes Ken Paxton continuously benefits from. #TXSen

I'm so honored to earn the support of @StopBigMoney - Washington is more corrupt than ever right now, and it’s hurting our communities. Billionaires and corporations have no place influencing our elections, and politicians should not be using their positions for personal profit.
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re excited to endorse @Ufford4michigan in his race for #MI11. As an #UnrigWashington member, Don is committed to commonsense reforms like banning Congressional stock trading and ending dark money in politics. We look forward to helping him win. #mipol
The entire system is set up for Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies to get rich, while working families get left behind.
It doesn't have to be this way. That’s why I’m not taking a dime of corporate PAC money.
Members of Congress are in Washington to represent their constituents - not line their own pockets. The fact they can trade on the very legislation they control? To use Rob Bresnahan’s own words from before he went to Washington and became one of Congress’ top traders - it’s sickening.
I will fight to pass a ban on members of Congress trading stocks so that our government focuses on serving the people, not itself.

THANK YOU to the more than 100,000 supporters who believe in our campaign's mission and continue to fuel our fight to take back #AZ06 💪🇺🇸
As @Rep_Stansbury said, when Democrats win back the House, they'll fight for a government everyday Americans can be proud of, stop the self-dealing in Washington, and get Big Money out of politics.
Trump’s remarks tonight are nothing more than the grandstanding of a corrupt official with a deeply unpopular agenda. We must do everything we can to fight back, and that means showing up to the ballot box this November to take back our power.
If there’s one thing you can count on Trump for, it’s lie to the American public. His administration, and the Republicans who cover for him, are trying desperately to delegitimize one of the only systems that can keep them in check: our elections.
Mail-in voting has been a safe and secure part of our elections since the Civil War. In 2024, 45 million Americans voted by mail.
Even President Trump has voted by mail. The Trump agenda is unpopular and he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
And now he’s trying to rig this year’s election with the SAVE America Act to make it harder to vote for millions of women, veterans, rural folks, & voters of color.
Let's make one thing clear: every reputable investigation into our elections has found "zero basis" for claims of voter fraud, including from Trump-appointed judges and Trump's own attorney general. Trump knows he is going to lose in November and can't let go of the fact that he lost in 2020, so he's trying to sow chaos, consolidate even more power, and silence his opponents.
We must not allow this administration to normalize corruption. Trump’s favorite move is flooding the zone so Americans never get a chance to pay close attention.
They want you exhausted to the point of apathy, so the corruption starts to feel like just another day.
That is why we must keep calling out their grift, and why I will never stop doing exactly that.
Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies want you to believe a bald-faced lie because their agenda is failing. Americans are tired of politicians who sell out and put profit above people. It’s time to vote them out. #LoserTrumpElectionLies
The contrast between Texans' choice for their next Senator is clear: @jamestalarico is an #UnrigWashington member while Ken Paxton exploits public office for his own personal gain.
Texans deserve a leader focused on lowering costs, not booking their next honeymoon suite. #TXSen
NEW: Ken Paxton bought three condos in a luxury resort in Utah earlier this year. On the deeds, he listed a home in Frisco as his address.
Police reports we obtained refer to the home's owner as a woman, who is not his wife, that Mr. Paxton has been recently photographed with.
