This fall, voters turned out in droves to support candidates who championed reform. 120+ candidates have signed on to @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's Unrig Washington campaign, but the work doesn’t stop there. We’re rolling up our sleeves as we head into 2026. UnrigWashington.org

Nearly 40 Big Money donors looking for favors bribed the president so he could build a ballroom, which he’ll use to fish for even more bribes from billionaires and corporations.

Recently, the Supreme Court heard arguments for NRSC vs. FEC, a case that could lead us to Citizens United 2.0 and dismantle what's left of our broken campaign finance system. Senator Whitehouse and I broke it down here: www.democracy.news/p/live-with-...

If you didn’t know, the expansion of data centers is a money in politics issue.

Taking on corruption in Washington takes a movement. I couldn’t be more grateful to have partners in this fight like @crow.house.gov, who has made fighting corruption a priority from Day 1.

In the first episode of the new docuseries by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social, Project 2029: A Reimagining, I joined her to talk about why nothing gets done in Washington. Hint: It's the Citizens United decision.

Did you know Republicans want to give the ultra-wealthy even more political power with NRSC vs. FEC? In today’s live on @lincolnsquare.media, @eisendrath.net and I unpacked the case that’s shaping up to be Citizens United 2.0.

👉 DHS gives Trump allies a billion-dollar contract 👉 Pentagon investigates Senator Kelly 👉 Elon Musk bankrolls more campaigns Catch up on the latest corruption news you might've missed from this week.

He gets a ballroom, a performing arts center, and a private jet from Qatar… but when people ask for health care he won't lift a finger. Grift.

After years of rising costs, public distrust, and corruption in Washington, voters are fed up. But the 2024 elections made it clear: Democrats can’t just assume voters will come back after seeing how Republicans govern. (1/9)

Read my op-ed on Corrupt Trump's $400 million palace of corruption here:

Trump's $400 million billionaire ballroom tells a story about a presidency for sale, where money buys access, access buys power, and hardworking Americans struggling to get by are left behind.

Trump calls affordability challenges a hoax, but it’s a golden age for him, his family, and his benefactors.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy. These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6. They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

Voters across the country don't need to know every little detail about campaign finance laws to understand that our government has been corrupted by corporate interests and billionaires. @tokuda.house.gov and I talk about it here:

Republicans voted to make life cheaper for the ultra-wealthy in more ways than one, but won't vote to make health care costs more affordable for working Americans. How sad and messed up is that?

From greenlighting Trump's corruption, to supporting a permanent tax cut for billionaires and corporations, Republicans have made it clear that the ultra-wealthy are their priority—not working people.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has escalated its probe of Sen. Mark Kelly into an official Command Investigation under military law, further targeting a sitting U.S. senator for constitutionally protected speech.

Money in politics breeds distrust in our government. We need to repeal Citizens United and end this legalized corruption in Washington.

The system is rigged. But we’re fighting back. Had a great conversation with @endcitizensunited.bsky.social President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social on how we’re going to clean up corruption in politics.

Republicans know what's coming in 2026. They cut nearly a trillion from Medicaid to pay for an enormous tax break for billionaires and corporations. Best believe voters will hold them accountable at the ballot box.

The DOJ once considered crimes involving a breach of public trust "to be among the most serious offenses on the books"—but now Trump is "reshaping the American system of governance to make room for graft," the former pardon attorney Liz Oyer argues.

Corruption is corrosive. Whether at the state, local, or national level, it causes Americans to lose faith in our government.   That is why we must fight against corruption everywhere we find it and deliver a government that works for you, not against you.

Rep. Tom Tiffany owns the billionaire loophole and should be judged by his actions in office, not the revisionist history he's peddling on the campaign trail.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption. This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

We are living through the most corrupt administration in American history. Here's a round of headlines from this week that prove it.

Rep. Kim didn't just slip up once; she ignored federal disclosure law five different times, hiding the source of nearly $50,000 used to fund multiple trips. Outside watchdogs shouldn't have to force a sitting member to follow the law. #CA40

The campaign corruption case just argued in the Supreme Court attracted a flotilla of creepy front groups who filed “amicus” briefs — 15 of them by our count! The Supreme Court refuses to require disclosure of the connections between them. Smelly.

The same billionaires that corruptly packed the court with right-wing justices are the same ones that would benefit if SCOTUS got rid of coordinated campaign spending limits in NRSC vs. FEC. @whitehouse.senate.gov and I talked about it in yesterday's livestream.

I just went live with @whitehouse.senate.gov! We unpacked the oral arguments heard yesterday in NRSC vs. FEC and talked about the potential impacts the decision could have on our campaign finance system. Take a look:

The self-dealing and corruption going on in Washington is the last thing hardworking families want to see while prices keep rising. @hickenlooper.bsky.social is sick of it and so are everyday Americans.

Trump has given up on his biggest campaign promise. Now he mocks the cost of living crisis and calls affordability a "con job." Meanwhile, corporations that have the power to jack up prices, suppress wages, and bust unions are laughing all the way to the bank (and funding Trump's ballroom).

Today’s @usprogressives.bsky.social Anti-Corruption Task Force was a reminder that we have leaders in Washington ready to do the work to root out corruption. Grateful to have these democracy champions advocating on behalf of the American people.

On International Anti-Corruption Day, it’s important we remind ourselves that today's rampant corruption didn’t start here. It began in 2010, when SCOTUS ruled in favor of special interests. Citizens United allowed corruption to take root in concrete. It’s time to weed it out.

Higher prices. Weaker protections. A government that answers to the wealthy. These are the costs that everyday Americans will have to face because of the $300 million golden ballroom Trump is building.

Citizens United opened the floodgates to Big Money in politics. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could eliminate one of the few remaining spending limits in our elections.

Tomorrow, the oral arguments at the Supreme Court kick off in National Republican Senatorial Committee vs. Federal Election Commission: a landmark campaign finance case. 🧵 Here's what you need to know:

Trump's outright abuse of the pardon power doesn't just fly in the face of the Constitution. It gives criminals the green light to break the law as long as they are loyal to Trump or can write him a hefty check.

The Supreme Court has yet again showed shameful deference to Trump's anti-voter agenda and decided to help him rig the 2026 elections. The GOP kicked millions off their health insurance to pay for billionaire tax breaks and know the only option left is cheating.

"Each check comes with a motive. Each name comes with an ask. Together, they reveal a presidency for sale," writes President of End Citizens United and Let America Vote @tiffanymuller.bsky.social in her deep dive of the 37 initial donors behind Trump's new White House ballroom.

From 120+ Democrats committing to unrigging Washington to Trump's corrupt DOJ coming for voting data, there’s a ton of corruption and democracy news from this week. Catch up here:

Each corporate and billionaire donor that bribed the president with a contribution to his ballroom knows the formula: give Trump what he wants, and he'll give you what you need. Check out my new op-ed in @couriernewsroom.bsky.social.

At End Citizens United, we know Big Money is the source of Big Problems in Washington. And the 120+ members of the Unrig Washington campaign know it too.

Over two thirds of members of Congress go on to become lobbyists. If Democrats want to regain the American people's trust, we must close the revolving door for good.

It was an absolute honor to be featured in @mollyjongfast.bsky.social's new docuseries! If you want to know why nothing seems to get done in Washington or why corruption has become normalized, please watch the episode on Molly's Youtube channel:

End Citizens United President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social joined @mollyjongfast.bsky.social for the first episode of a new documentary, Project 2029: A Reimagining. To kick it off, they talked about the importance of reforming our campaign finance system when Democrats are back in power.

As California families struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, Rep. Kim is flying business class and staying in 5-star hotels while keeping her constituents in the dark about who's footing the bill. The Office of Congressional Conduct must hold her accountable for this unethical behavior.

Scoop: End Citizens United is accusing Republican Rep. Young Kim of failing to properly disclose nearly $50,000 worth of privately sponsored travel between 2022 and 2024. https://www.notus.org/california/young-kim-complaint-private-travel-end-citizens-united

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re excited to announce our endorsement of @theothermandela.bsky.social for Governor. During his time in office, he's consistently modeled accountable leadership. We look forward to working with him to fight corruption and stand up for hardworking families.
