I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Some major media are saying “tens of thousands” took part in the hands-off rallies. In the Minnesota capital alone, there were 25,000. Across the U.S there were 1,300+ rallies, some enormous, some smaller. CNN says millions took part, so why are so many media still saying just “tens of thousands”?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk turned the White House into a Tesla dealership. Is that where you want your taxpayer dollars going? Nope. I'm pushing for an ethics investigation.

Can't be at an event? You can still be a part of the fight! Make your voice heard by writing to your representative in the House and urging them to cosponsor H. Res. 70 to stand with the Postal Service and its dedicated workforce against the threat of privatization. apwu.org/action
