The Framers provided the president could not sell us out by taking money from foreign states and monarchs without Congressional consent. Trump can’t dodge the ban on taking foreign Emoluments “of any kind whatever” by claiming it’s his family business.

President Trump's plan to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar is "almost certainly the most corrupt deal in all of American history," says @publiccitizen.bsky.social's Robert Weissman. www.democracynow.org/2025/5/13/pu...

They dragged Biden through a year of hearings over a $10K wire transfer, but Trump grifts a billion through a fake crypto scam, scores a luxury jet from Qatar, and suddenly it's crickets. Hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the MAGA code—it’s the whole damn operating system. #TrumpCrimeFamily

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

This is nothing more than a flashy press release from Donald Trump. Trump should put his weight behind a bill so we can actually lower drug prices. Instead, he and Republicans in Congress are plotting to rip away health coverage from millions of Americans.

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Talk about a war on Christmas About 80% of toys sold in the US come from China Consumers pay about $5-$20 per toy Trump’s original 20% tariff on China would increase the price of toys by 10-20%, crippling sales But with tariffs now at 145%, how many kids will go without Christmas gifts this year

This is why impeachment and removal exists. For grotesque, demented, and un-American acts like this.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

During his first term, Trump raked in millions from at least 20 foreign governments—violating what Trump calls “the phony Emoluments Clause.”

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Trump is still pushing the complete lie that Abrego Garcia has “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. In a sane country we’d be talking about impeachment and removal.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

We delivered the PACT Act for our veterans, yet DOGE and the Trump administration are undermining it through VA layoffs and contract cancellations. Our veterans deserve better. I'm fighting alongside @blumenthal.senate.gov and all @democrats.senate.gov to ensure they get the care they’ve earned.

Of course I misspoke and said Tren De Aragua when I should have said MS-13. I'll do that occasionally but always correct it. Thank you.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "It's a complete betrayal. I mean, the focus more on Greenland than the cost of groceries. Of course, if you listen to Trump, he discovered the word groceries. He keeps literally acting like he's rediscovered a word. That's how out of touch he is." [email protected]
