Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine.

We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

That's all well and good, but Trump doesn't give a shit and keeps doing what he wants.

“The Emoluments Clause, found in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution, prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts, payments, or titles from foreign states without congressional consent. Its purpose is to prevent foreign influence and corruption among U.S. leaders.”

coltsfan62.bsky.social•8 days ago

Exactly! Blame this all and everything corrupt they do on the Supreme Court who gave him immunity! The dumbest and most authoritarian decision they could have made! They should be removed. And this should be rescinded!

Americans did not freely choose their representation, as the American first-past-the-post election system doesn’t give power to 3rd or 4th party votes. It’s a rigged process that discriminates by party, artificially restricts options. Democrats need to get vocal about Proportional Representation

dorosaynow.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Press Secretary , Karoline Leavitt, , said Trump is attending the dinner on his own time. Question: Does the President ever have time during his 4 years as POTUS, when he is not President? Even for a minute? Nukes are being launched, but Trump is on "his own time?" Sorry.

Hundreds of millions they’ve already made! How is this allowed by a sitting President? He hawks cars on the White House Lawn and crypto coins at expensive dinners and he calls the Biden’s the crime family?

President’s press secretary said it was all okay because he was on “personal time” —What? So he gave up his roll of being President of the United States during his dinner & cocktail party & tour of the White House? It doesn’t work that way - unless he wants to resign! He’s president 24/7!

dbdant.bsky.social•8 days ago

Question: Trump says he's doing the dinner with Trump coin investors 'on his own time.' Does that mean if he discusses receiving bribes during his private dinner, he's not acting in his 'official capacity' and therefore can be charged with the crime?

So let’s get this straight. He’s doing this on his own personal time? Not as the President of the United States. So Pam Bondi’s statement just took away his right to presidential immunity and is leaving him open for investigation and prosecution.

Yesterday, Trump received his $400 million plane from Qatar and then hosted a dinner for 220 people who spent $394 million for his meme coin. And Republicans were outraged that Hunter Biden received payments from Burisma.

kicatu52.bsky.social•8 days ago

Press secretary said this is being done on his “personal time”, so immunity doesn’t cover this corruption does it?

1amfunk.bsky.social•8 days ago

Senator, right now you and other Democrats need to focus on identifying what they are scheming to cheat the midterms. We all saw how the dictator tried to cheat the 2020 electoral college to hold on to power. Dictators do not give up power. They are already scheming to ensure a MAGA dictatorship.

1amfunk.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, he did tell everyone he would be a dictator. Senator, this is what dictators do. Dumbass Americans gave the power of the White House to a dictator, hell bent on replacing democracy with himself. And your colleagues across the aisle, they are all in on it. Listen, they want their dictator.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is a bullshit artist. While members at Commonwealth Care Alliance suffered abuse, neglect, falsified records, and medical abandonment, she said nothing. A CEO took $2.5M to resign. His enablers still profit. Warren stayed silent.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

Lifelong Democrat here—yet I’ve received more empathy from my MAGA-voting neighbors than from the officials I help elect. As Commonwealth Care Alliance collapsed under its own weight, silence reigned from Sen. Warren’s office.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

Silence from Warren’s office as thousands of vulnerable patients on a public option suffer under a plan led by a CEO who burned through $200M in under a year n her state. Not a word, yet she champions healthcare on the national stage. Is this what support for the vulnerable looks like?

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

Warren wins w/ votes from dense intellectual hubs like Cambridge & Boston,home to 135K+ students & colleges packed into tight city blocks. But it was blue-collar neighborhoods that first backed her. Now she’s a “fancy collar.” We need action, not airtime. She’s forgotten us.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

In Sen. Warren’s own state, a public-option nonprofit health plan—Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) nearly collapsed under mismanagement while serving some of MA’s most vulnerable. It was federally funded via Medicare Medicaid. She said nothing. Until attorneys in advocate went public. But she knew.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

Chris Palmieri, CCA’s CEO, was praised by Warren for his “innovative” model. But under his leadership, CCA became insolvent,despite public funds. When the crisis hit, he quietly exited with a $2M payout. Patients got silence. He got rewarded. Days with losing their coverage. I alerted her office.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

The near collapse triggered open letters to the Boston Globe from legal and disability advocates demanding Palmieri’s resignation. Their clients,disabled, poor, elderly,were days from losing coverage. Not a word from Warren to reassure them.

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

Palmieri’s exit wasn’t accountability; it was a golden parachute. Meanwhile, advocates scrambled to warn the public and protect patients. Warren, the “consumer watchdog,” didn’t condemn it. Not even when members posted relentlessly about abuse at CCS, the CEO exited, but the culture still remains!

jlm617.bsky.social•8 days ago

This happened in her backyard. In the state she represents. A nonprofit public-option insurer,exactly the kind of model she promotes,collapsed. Her silence wasn’t just political,it was dangerous. CCA failed. People suffered. She looked away.

Trump must be impeached immediately over his involvement in the cryptocurrency scandal that he has created. Not one single president is allowed to do business whilst they are president of the USA. In other words, Trump has broken the law yet again.

justsomeliberaldem.bsky.social•8 days ago

We don't have the votes to impeach. The House just passed the Murder Bill. You would think that they would care about their constituents, but they only care about staying in power. Shitler and Johnson threaten to primary them and they all cave like the cowards they are.
