Billionaires, corporations, and wall street executives are profiting from the GOP's government shutdown. While the ultra-wealthy make a profit, the American people are left with higher healthcare costs. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

Another day, another corrupt pardon. Trump has laid complete waste to what presidential pardons were meant for. Now, he's just ignoring the rule of law and abusing his presidential powers to give GOP loyalists pardons they don't deserve.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

"I don't want to hear about the affordability" Says the most corrupt president in history who signed a huge corporate and billionaire tax cut into law, is exploiting the presidency to line his pockets with crypto money, and is selling off pardons to criminals.

@julianastratton.bsky.social is the only candidate in the race for #ILSEN who's chosen to go the extra mile by rejecting corporate PAC money to show that she only works for the people of Illinois, not corporate special interests. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/e...

Thank you @endcitizensunited.bsky.social for your endorsement! I'm not taking corporate PAC money in this race because it’s time we put people over special interests, and I'm so grateful to have the support of End Citizens United. Let's do this!

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re proud to announce our endorsement of @julianastratton.bsky.social for Senate. As Lt. Governor, she’s fought tirelessly for Illinois families. And as a #NoCorporatePAC and #UnrigWashington member, voters can trust she’s fighting for them, not special interests.

Because of Trump, Extremity Care can keep charging Medicare for its products until January 1, 2026. With the deadline approaching, the company corruptly donated $2.5 million towards Trump's golden ballroom in hopes of being rewarded more favors.

The policies that are born out of our broken campaign finance system lead to higher costs across the board. Secretary @jocelynbenson.bsky.social knows it and is running to be the next governor of Michigan so working people stay the focal point of politics, not Big Money donors.

Every single county in Virginia swung left because folks are sick of Trump's corruption and Republicans who chose billionaire tax cuts over lowering costs. Leaders like @abigailspanberger.com won because she puts the people first, not special interests or her pockets.

Don’t tell me that Democrats need to suck up to billionaires to win. Democrats won elections on big policy ideas: universal child care, more affordable housing, reducing utility costs, and lowering health care costs. Affordability — not the billionaire agenda — won across America.

📺LIVE: End Citizens United President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social and @aftynbehn.bsky.social talk taking on corruption, fighting for accountability, and her race for #TN07. Tune in here:

It’s been over a month since Representative-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected to serve the people of #AZ07. Enough is enough. Sign on to demand Mike Johnson do his job and swear her in: actionnetwork.org/petitions/sw...

Trailblazing doesn’t do justice to the powerhouse that is @pelosi.house.gov. Thank you for relentlessly fighting on behalf of the American people for nearly 40 years in Washington and setting the gold standard for leadership. 🧵Thread:

“Know your power. When you do, others will know your power, too.” — Nancy Pelosi Thank you @pelosi.house.gov for your nearly 40 years of public service and being the greatest Speaker of all time and delivering historic wins and accomplishments. Your legacy is unparalleled.

The Trump family crypto grift and the Binance pardon boil down to one thing: CORRUPTION. Trump is profiting off the presidency every day, while leaving Americans out in the cold.

Trump's privately funded ballroom is classic pay-to-play corruption. The public deserves to know exactly who is funding Trump’s vanity project—and what he has promised them in return.

The administration is hiding who is paying for Trump’s gilded ballroom.   And many of the big donors giving Trump money have a reason to … they want the administration’s signoff on their deals.   This is corruption, plain and simple.

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨 Healthcare companies that work with Medicare and Medicaid, like Vantive and Extremity Care, donated to Trump's ballroom looking for favors and special treatment. If you couldn't tell by now, these so-called donations were really just bribes.

The donors that contributed to Trump's golden ballroom have $279 BILLION in federal contracts. Their attempt to bribe the president with millions in donations could earn them corrupt favors from Trump or easier access to the American people's tax dollars.

It's day 36 of the Republican shutdown. While corrupt Trump exploits the presidency for personal profit, the GOP refuses to reopen the government because they won't put Americans' healthcare ahead of tax cuts for their billionaire donors.

Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living. People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration. Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.

The Supreme Court must stop this unconstitutional power grab Trump has used to raise taxes on working people through across-the-board tariffs while giving tax cuts to billionaires. rollcall.com/2025/11/03/t...

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨 As a corrupt thank you for including Ripple's crypto coin, XRP, in the US crypto strategic reserve, the company donated to Trump's ballroom. Reminder: Trump's family has made a fortune from crypto. This isn't coincidental, it's corruption.

@abigailspanberger.com's spectacular performance last night wasn't just an indictment on Trump's second term. It was a testament to the power of relaying a people-first message that inspires folks to show up to the polls and vote for their interests.

Virginia voters made it clear they're fed up with corrupt Trump and want a leader that will stay focused on lowering costs. That's why Democrats won up and down the ballot and @abigailspanberger.com won in areas where Democrats lost voters in 2024, like Loudoun and Prince Williams Counties.

And they would be 100% correct. Congressional Republicans put billionaire tax breaks before millions of Americans' health care costs and access to food assistance. Meanwhile, corrupt Trump is throwing Gatsby parties for his ultra-rich friends and building a ballroom funded by bribes.

🎉 Congratulations to ECU-endorsed @jonesjay.bsky.social on his win tonight in the Virginia Attorney General race. With a record of taking on corporate special interests and big banks, Virginians can trust that he’ll always put their voices first.

Question 1 would have dismantled some of Maine’s strongest voting protections. By casting their votes against this anti-voter ballot measure, Mainers sent a clear message: protecting access to the ballot and the right to vote are essential to our democracy.

New Yorkers are ready for change and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social delivered. From Day, 1 he stood with New Yorkers, not corporate power. He’s taking on corruption — and his grassroots movement proves it’s more than just talk.

Tonight, Pennsylvanians took a stand against billionaire influence in favor of fairness and the rule of law. By keeping Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht on the bench, they ensured the state’s highest court remains an independent check against partisan power grabs.

While Republican Jack Ciattarelli cozied up to Donald Trump and corporate special interests, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social was busy talking about the issues that matter. And tonight, New Jersey voters made it clear that they’re done with the chaos and self-dealing of Trump Republicans.

🎉 Congratulations to ECU-endorsed @senatorhashmi.bsky.social on her win tonight. As State Senator, Ghazala Hashmi has consistently fought to protect Virginians’ rights and freedoms. And as the next Lieutenant Governor, we know she’ll be a true advocate for Virginia’s working families.

🎉 Congratulations to ECU-endorsed @abigailspanberger.com on her historic win tonight. We know she'll put the voices of working Virginians above greedy corporate interests. We look forward to watching her bring her people-first approach to leadership to Richmond.

The elections taking place today will determine the future of our democracy and show how much progress the Democratic party has made in building a winning coalition that can take on Trump's authoritarianism.

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨 Extremity Care—a healthcare company—has been trying to maintain Medicare reimbursements for their bandage products, so they donated to Trump's ballroom in hopes of getting a corrupt favor in return.

After a judge ordered Donald Trump to make SNAP payments, the wannabe king declared he will defy a court order and won't help people afford groceries. Trump's message to 42 million Americans: eat dirt.

Trump is holding millions of hungry families hostage, unless he can take away their health care. Meanwhile, he’s throwing lavish parties, building a ballroom for himself, and sending $40 billion to Argentina. It’s as sickening as it is illegal. Democrats won’t stop fighting back.

NEW: The WH did not disclose several donors to the ballroom who have business before Trump: ▶️Jeff Yass, investor in TikTok parent company: $2.5m+ to ballroom ▶️BlackRock, trying to buy Panama Canal ports: $2.5m+ ▶️Extremity Care, Medicare reimbursement issues: $2.5m ▶️Vantive, Medicare reimbursement

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨 How it started: Right after Trump admin drops a lawsuit against Coinbase, it donated $1 million to his inaugural fund. How it's going: Coinbase needs Trump admin approval to expand into blockchain-based stocks—so it donates to Trump's gilded ballroom.

Trump is pledging to defy a court order requiring him to fund SNAP, and Jason Miyares has refused to stand up to Trump and prevent VA kids from going hungry. Voters are tired of leaders who won't fight for them, and they'll show that at the ballot box. www.axios.com/2025/11/04/t...

ECU/LAV president @tiffanymuller.bsky.social was in Virginia today reminding folks about importance of making their voices heard and voting for @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, and @jonesjay.bsky.social—leaders that'll lower costs for Virginians and stand up to corrupt Trump.

A crypto billionaire pled guilty to money laundering. Trump then pardoned him, but said "I know nothing about the guy" and that he has "no idea who he is." Is he lying or clueless? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Billionaires' wealth hasn't grown collectively by $698 billion over the past year by chance. Horrid policies, like Trump's Big Billionaire Bill, put the wealthiest Americans and corporations first by cutting taxes for the few at the expense of the many.
