This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon. Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff schemes and collusive 'settlements.'

Congress must assert our power to stop things that are just plain wrong. Brian Fitzpatrick and I introduced a bipartisan bill that stops any funding the president is trying to use to score political points and bankroll January 6 criminals.

President Trump's extraordinarily corrupt slush fund would funnel $1.8 billion of taxpayer money to his political patrons and January 6 white nationalist foot soldiers. While the courts blocked the DOJ scheme for now, Congress still must act to bar this dirty deal forever.

BIG NEWS: I just signed and filed a discharge petition to force a floor vote on my legislation to permanently block Trump’s $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund for his January 6 private militia and family-sized Super Pardon. I'm calling on all members of Congress to sign on. We can stop this self-dealing scheme and stand up for the taxpayers.

We've got every House Democrat signed on to our discharge petition to permanently reject President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund, his payoffs to MAGA foot soldiers and his corrupt Super Pardon. We need just six self-respecting Republicans to join us to protect taxpayer dollars and end this gargantuan ripoff of the public treasury.

The Fed has paid big banks nearly half a trillion taxpayer dollars over five years just to hold their money—rewarding them for not lending. To stop this, I introduced the End the Fed’s Big Bank Bailout Act to ban the Fed from paying interest on reserves for big financial institutions. If President Donald J. Trump wants to lower interest rates, this legislation is a real solution.

With news of multiple sex scandals coming out of Washington DC this week, we need to talk about the secret, taxpayer-funded slush fund that is protecting these perverted politicians from facing accountability. Since 1997, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights has paid out over $18.2 MILLION to quietly settle hundreds of #MeToo claims and workplace sexual harassment disputes for members of Congress, the Capitol Police The U.S. Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capitol Architect of the Capitol (AOC), and the Library of Congress Library of Congress. It is completely unacceptable that hardworking Americans are being forced to bankroll the payouts for morally bankrupt lawmakers who want to make their victims disappear with secret settlements. Taxpayers deserve full transparency, and we need to completely expose these slush fund records to show the public exactly which politicians are using our money to cover up their crimes, sexual deviancy, and infidelity!

This week, Republicans are trying to suppress voters by passing the SAVE Act, and they are attaching this horrific legislation to a fake stock trading ban that doesn't actually prevent members of Congress OR the President from trading stocks. I will be voting 'NO.'

I’ve heard from Coloradans across our state who don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this week as President Trump plays politics with their SNAP benefits. Trump must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP immediately.

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up. I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it. Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds. Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it. That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

We have a president who is building more wealth through his office than any in history. We cannot turn a blind eye to this corruption. On Monday, I will be introducing a resolution to stop the president, his family, and members of Congress from trading in crypto and accepting money from foreign entities.

President Trump, his family, and this Administration are profiting from pay-to-play schemes, accepting gifts from foreign and domestic actors alike. That's why I joined Rep. Jamie Raskin and Joe Morelle in introducing the Protecting Our Democracy Act to stop this blatant corruption.

"The White House does not belong to any one man, not even a President... unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!" So satisfying.

President Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit against his own government in exchange for a $1.776 billion slush fund to steer our tax dollars to election deniers and insurrectionists. If our Republican colleagues have any respect for the Constitution and the powers of Congress, they will join us and put a stop to this rank corruption.

In 2018, Adam Schiff introduced a bill to keep Trump from abusing pardon powers for his family: “If the President grants a pardon in a case involving himself or his family, the American people must understand whether it serves as an effort to obstruct justice. This bill would make that possible and serve as a powerful deterrent.” Where's Adam Schiff now?

PabloReports: Any reaction to this $1.7 billion slush fund that Trump is proposing from the IRS for January 6th insurrectionists and pardoned fraudsters? AOC: I mean, he’s using the entire government as a slush fund at this point, extorting everyone and anyone he can. They’re robbing everyone of their healthcare in order to become billionaires, and they’re going to cut loose. It’s one of the most unpatriotic and un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life, and probably in modern political history.

We must prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon, and support Israel’s ability to defend itself. But the President cannot declare war on Iran or launch strikes against it without Congressional approval. Congress must not cede that authority to this or any other president.

Acting AG Todd Blanche gave me his “word” DOJ will drop the so-called “anti-weaponization” slush fund—but refused to put it in writing. Meanwhile Trump is saying the opposite. We can’t take these people at their word. Rep. Jamie Raskin and I are pushing legislation to ensure taxpayer dollars aren’t used to bankroll a president’s personal agenda.
