Trump and his administration have been linked to $377 BILLION in alleged corruption and abuses of power.
That's unprecedented.

Trump owned between $2.9 million and $9.5 million in investments in data-center involved companies at the end of 2025.

In February 2025, Amy Gleason became DOGE's acting administrator.
Less than three months later, her husband got a job at the Department of Health and Human Services in a division that had just been through DOGE-driven layoffs.
See the problem?

If Trump stays at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, that will be his 108th visit to the property (which he owns and profits from) during his second term alone.
Change of plans: President Trump's Kansas rally on Saturday has been scrapped. He'll head to Florida tomorrow but no decision has been made yet on Sunday's Iowa rally. Instead, Trump plans to do 20 telerallies between now & Tuesday, White House officials tell @GarrettHaake & me.
Presidents are NOT kings.
The Constitution is NOT optional.
And Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.
While the president is busy having the most profitable year of his life, everyday Americans are the ones being harmed by his corruption.
CREW President @donaldonethics breaks down the real reason why your life is becoming more expensive:

Yet another federal judge has ruled that one of the loyalists Trump installed as acting U.S. Attorney is serving unlawfully.
The Trump administration is not above the law, and the courts are rightfully holding them accountable.

The GAO is expecting to approve 200 employee departures.
While the agency claims the staff reductions won't hurt its operations, one GAO employee said lawmakers requesting investigations are already waiting weeks or months for staff to become available.

The Trump admin is set to weaken rules around methane emissions for the oil and gas industry, despite methane being responsible for a third of climate change.
In August, we wrote about the dangers of Trump's EPA being captured by the oil and gas industry.

The Trump administration keeps violating the Hatch Act.
Here's how the admin is trying to illegally tip the scales for preferred states and candidates—and what we're doing about it. citizensforethics.org/legal-…
The 9th Circuit ruled that Trump violated federal law by seizing control of the California National Guard, writing that his order “exceeded the President’s statutory authority."
That's good news. We filed amicus brief in the case making similar points.

During a national No Kings mobilization, Meta temporarily suspended the No Kings Instagram account, raising free speech and corporate censorship concerns.
We requested records from DHS, ICE, DOJ and FBI seeking records regarding Meta and No Kings.

If voter fraud is such a concern for Trump, why would he pardon a former election official who was convicted on three misdemeanors and four felonies in an election interference case related to a security breach of her county's voting system?

About two-thirds of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's dollars for 2026 are publicly unaccounted for.
Once staffed by about 280 employees, Trump laid off over 120, including nearly all the grant officers.
This is highly problematic.

Safari Club International auctioned off a week long Mongolian hunting trip with Don Jr this summer.
Just a reminder: Buying access to power is an ethics concern, whether it’s through a charity, a wedding, a campaign donation or a lavish gift. ft.com/content/f41fc704-c9e6…
A federal judge extended an order blocking the Trump admin from cutting down additional trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.
"This started as a case about golf. That good walk spoiled. But it has become much more," the judge wrote in her decision.

A senior DOJ official, Leo Terrell, posting repeatedly on social media advocating for the success or failure of a candidate for partisan office or political party: citizensforethics.org/wp-con…
Steven Cheung violated the Hatch Act once again. This time he reposted a video on his official account of Trump advocating against Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and wrote his own "red flags" about El-Sayed.
This deserves OSC's immediate attention.
Constitutional reminders for the Trump administration:
-States run elections, not the federal government.
-Congress decides federal spending, not the president.
The specific scheme may be different every day. But the power grab is the same.
