The House is trying to use its budget bill to quietly restrict federal courts' power to enforce contempt orders. This is extremely troubling. Without contempt power, it will be easier for the Trump admin to get away with ignoring court orders--and the law. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/t…


Despite many constitutional questions, AG Pam Bondi signed off on the acceptance of a jet from Qatar. The American public deserves to know more about the memo and any ethics guidance Bondi received, given her former work as a foreign agent of Qatar. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians, covering a total of 125 counts of corruption-related crimes and $7.4 million of ill-gotten gains or misused funds. His DOJ has also dropped charges into two others. This is unacceptable. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

The Trump Organization—which Trump still owns and profits from—has announced 12 foreign developments since the 2024 election. These are massive conflicts of interests. The president shouldn't be weighing American foreign policy against his own bottom line. wsj.com/politics/polic…

It's outrageous that members of Congress can still own and trade stock, which creates a risk of them enriching themselves with insider information and of influencing their decisions.

Over $1 billion of taxpayer money is reportedly being used for the Qatari jet, a DHS ad campaign, and the huge military parade on President Trump's birthday. It sure looks like flattery comes first, and the American people’s interests come second. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…




Donald Trump reported at least $630 million in business income for 2024, and he was just getting going. These ventures have continued and grown during his presidency, and new ones have begun--creating conflicts that could influence his decision-making. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
