If "communism is the greatest threat to our country in its history" and he wants to root it out of America, then why is he hanging pictures of communist authoritarians in gilded frames in the White House?

Leavitt says 2024 was "too big to rig." 1) Trump won fewer raw votes in 2024 than Biden did in 2020. 2) Trump won the popular vote by less (1.5 points) than Biden did (4.5 points). 3) Trump only won 6 more electoral votes than Biden did -- a pretty negligible difference.
Reporter: The 2020 election has had dozens of recounts, lawsuits, and audits. The 2024 election is widely believed to have been safe and secure. There’s not really any question about that. Leavitt: Because it was too big to rig. Reporter: There were also a significant number of votes for Joe Biden, who won in 2020. I mean, the question is: Why is the president unable to let this go? Leavitt: Well, first of all, I think part of the problem is that the media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the elections…

It's absurdly corrupt that Trump is making 3x as much money during his second term than he did in the year before he returned to office. From $760 million in 2024 to $2.4 billion in 2025, his profiteering is soaring to new heights. forbes.com/sites/danalexande…

GREAT NEWS: A judge just voided President Trump's settlement with the IRS granting him immunity from audits and referred a ​Trump lawyer and DOJ officials who signed off on the settlement ‌to ⁠state bar authorities to determine if their actions violated legal ethics rules.

We filed a complaint with the Interior Department inspector general last week about some eyebrow-raising government contracts, including for the Reflecting Pool "renovation." Let's just say there's *a lot* that should be investigated: citizensforethics.org/legal-…

The most patriotic thing Americans can do to celebrate the anniversary of this country’s founding is to keep fighting for a stronger democracy—one that will survive another 250 years for generations yet unborn. citizensforethics.org/news/a…

I feel bad for Kean and I’m glad he’s feeling better, but it’s not okay to disappear from elected office and not say why. Your constituents are entitled to form their own opinions about the appropriateness of your absence. When Fetterman went inpatient, he told people upfront.
GOP NJ Rep Kean Jr: When I first informed the public that I was dealing with a medical issue, I was still trying to understand what was happening myself. When I said I hope to return in a matter of weeks, I believed it. Those were the best estimates that doctors could provide. But as the over 48 million of my fellow Americans being treated for this illness have come to discover there is no timeline for healing. There is no timeline for recovery. Only the work of getting better one day at a time. Today, I am grateful that I listen to my doctors, and I am grateful for the exceptional care that I received from doctors, nurses and support staff.

NEW: We filed FOIA requests with Trump's OMB and DOJ seeking records of communications with outside groups and activists who have pushed election conspiracy theories, as well as records concerning the federal government’s role in state and federal elections.

Eviction notices have been sent to farmers in northern Vietnam to make way for a $1.5 billion Trump Organization-branded luxury golf resort project. Trump never divested from the Trump Org, so this project is one of his countless conflicts of interest. straitstimes.com/asia/se-asi…

Congress should legislate to prevent the implementation of Trump's IRS settlement. Congress must investigate whether the administration’s extraordinary grant of self-immunity violates existing law. We've sent a letter. citizensforethics.org/legal-…

CREW sued to stop the Trump administration from using a massive database consolidating Americans' personal information for voter roll purges—and a federal judge just ruled in our favor. Huge win! citizensforethics.org/news/p…

Anyone else still outraged that President Trump managed to get immunity from IRS audits for himself, his family and his businesses? And he did it by suing and settling with his own government. It's so blatantly corrupt we don't even know where to begin...

Jan. 6 defendants are pursuing legal claims for millions in compensation from the Trump admin using the Federal Tort Claims Act, an obscure federal process with minimal oversight—offering the admin a way to pay them without the $1.8 billion slush fund. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Did you know Trump's IRS settlement also includes a deal to protect Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS audits? Enough is enough. Congress must legislate to stop this unprecedented and self-serving arrangement from moving forward. citizensforethics.org/legal-…

The UFC announced that it's planning to pay bonuses to White House fighters in cryptocurrency issued by the Trump family's World Liberty Financial. There's never been a line between Trump's business interests and his presidency—it's all blurred. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

This is outrageous: Donald Trump has 25 Trump-branded real estate projects that will be developed in foreign countries during his presidency. Each poses a conflict of interest and opportunities for corruption. citizensforethics.org/report…
