What an abomination.

More evidence Trump is totally not serious about getting a nuclear deal with Iran. This agreement will set off a nuclear race in the region, further disincentivizing Iran from limiting its own program.

A strategy of escalation will not work with Iran. It will just waste more money, get more Americans killed, and further unravel the Middle East.

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee: It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy. There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme. Let me explain.

Trump is trying to destroy academic freedom - he sees it as an impediment to his corruption of our democracy. I know university leaders, like those at Yale, are in a tough position given his attacks, but they are under no obligation to agree to anything other than what's required under existing law.

The Paramount-Warner merger is illegal. The 2nd and 5th biggest studios combining. 200M subscribers. Prices will go through the roof. But free speech will die too. Because the owners have cut a deal with Trump to silence his critics. State AGs need to step in and block it. Now.

This is all just ballooning foreign policy malpractice. The negotiations are a “waste of time” because Trump’s negotiators change by the day. So do his goals and demands. It’s all gross incompetence that is costing American taxpayers and consumers billions.

Well sure but there’s a “market” for everything, including K-12 ed, police protection, clean water. We just choose to treat certain things as a public good with a basic level of access for all. We could choose to see some access to youth sports as a public good, not a luxury.

We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy. Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

Yes.

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

That Trump is willing to let people stay homeless in order to get his election rigging bill passed is the least surprising thing that's happened in Washington this month.

I couldn't cover all of Trump's corruption - I'd break the floor speech record if I tried that. But this is why Trump isn't fixing America's problems: he's too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We can't let that happen.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: May 27, 2026 Trump gives a $10 billion dollar contract to Dell - a company he holds millions of dollars of stock in. We also find out Trump is boosting *several* companies that are in his investment portfolio.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: May 11, 2026 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy launches a reality TV show featuring a big cross-country road trip with his family. Those vacations are paid for by Boeing. And Toyota. And United Airlines - all companies that Duffy's department regulates.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: April 30, 2026 Trump takes a $5 million dollar bribe from the Big Tobacco industry. Trump personally calls the FDA Commissioner and Dr. Oz, demanding they change the rules so Big Tobacco can make billions targeting our kids.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: April 27, 2026 Trump's ballroom contractor gets a no-bid $17 million contract to refurbish the Reflecting Pool. The actual cost of the project was $3 million but Trump inflated the price for his friend. And now paint is peeling off the Reflecting Pool floor.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: November 4, 2025 The White House forces the Pentagon to give a company partially owned by Trump's kids a massive gov't contract and a $670M loan. No competitive bidding process - all taxpayer dollars. Donald Trump Jr. 10x'd his profits.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: October 7, 2025 Trump's crypto corruption comes full circle. He pardons Changpeng Zhao, the convicted money launderer of choice for terrorists, drug cartels, and sex traffickers. Why? Zhao helped Trump set up his family's crypto coin scheme.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: September 23, 2026 Border Czar Tom Homan is caught by FBI agents taking a bribe in exchange for federal contracts. The FBI has video footage of Homan accepting a big bag of cash. Trump kills the FBI investigation, and Homan gets a job in the administration.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: April 7, 2025 Donald Trump, one of the biggest crypto players in the world, declares we will no longer be enforcing our laws against the crypto industry. Active fraud investigations are shut down. The entire crypto enforcement team at DOJ is fired.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

The continuing price of Trump's incompetence. Trump signed a "deal" that was contingent on Israel ending it's disastrous war in Lebanon and apparently he didn't check that with Israel.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself. And you paid for it. The total cost could be $1 billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

I’m for the war ending. But this deal - which boils down to the U.S. paying Iran billions to open the Strait - is final proof of how predictably disastrous this war was.
