Republican campaigns and political action committees have spent nearly $3 million at President Trump’s businesses since he returned to office. And spending at Mar-a-Lago has tripled compared to Trump's first term. This is clear profiteering.

President Trump's super PAC has spent about $277 million to back Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms, a staggering amount of spending "with no parallel in American history."

Earlier this week, a federal judge ruled that OPM violated the Privacy Act by granting DOGE access to sensitive personal information. "...even the most rigorous procedures cannot secure compliance by those willing to disregard them," she wrote.

It's not good for democracy for the FEC to be essentially nonfunctional during this year's election. With the FEC having no ability to advise campaigns or start investigations, voters have no real assurance that campaign finance law is being followed.

The Trump admin's effort to collect and compile sensitive data about millions of American voters into a massive nationwide database is an unlawful abuse of power. So we sued.

NEW: Arizona cannot carry out its program to cancel voter registrations weeks before an election based on the Trump admin’s inaccurate SAVE database. We filed an amicus brief with SCOTUS, on behalf of @epic.org, urging the Court to enforce the National Voting Rights Act's 90-day quiet period.

The public, through its elected officials, has the right to evaluate whether individuals meet the qualifications and ethical standards for government positions. Jared Kushner and the Trump admin have denied us that right. That's unacceptable and illegal.

We requested records from the Secret Service about if and how they recorded, tracked and screened attendees at Trump's April memecoin gala at Mar-a-Lago. They claim to have “no responsive records.” 🤔

Current and former State Department staff claim that the department is trying to push out its most senior foreign staff officers who stand in the way of Trump's agenda and replace them with those it views as more politically loyal.

It's really not normal for a sitting president to pursue over a dozen new foreign developments while he's serving in office. Trump is truly unabashed when it comes to profiting from the presidency.

Trump called the judge overseeing a legal challenge to his DC golf course renovations a "crazed lunatic" on Truth Social. Personal attacks and hostile rhetoric against judges is on the rise, and our president is just adding fuel to the fire. Shameful.

The DOJ's actions ahead of the midterms "are emblematic of how the Trump administration has repeatedly and illegally weaponized the federal law enforcement apparatus to interfere in our elections,” says CREW President @donaldonethics.bsky.social .

NEW: This past weekend, Meta suspended the No Kings Instagram account for roughly 90 minutes. Americans need answers about whether the Trump admin was involved in this suspension. So we requested records immediately from DHS on Meta and No Kings.

Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.

NEW: The Census Bureau should withdraw proposals to redefine “usual residence” and collect legal status data. We submitted a comment warning how the changes would disproportionately impact minority and immigrant communities and undermine data accuracy.

Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.

About one-third of people who lean Republican believe Trump is enriching himself—up from about one-fifth a year ago. And overall, nearly 2 in 3 Americans hold that view.

For more than a year, President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has acted as one of the nation’s top diplomats, without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing a single financial disclosure. If you’re asking how that’s legal, it’s not. We sued.

Hear us out: The richest person in the world should not be allowed to dump hundreds of millions to affect the midterm elections. This is not a radical idea. We need campaign finance reform.

A federal judge extended an order blocking the Trump administration from banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reporters from the White House, arguing that the ban violates their constitutional rights to free speech and due process.

Trump owned up to $9.5 million in investments in data center-involved companies at the end of 2025, a more than 600% increase in these investments at the end of 2024. It's no shock that he wants more construction of data centers and less oversight.

Meeting with Zelenskyy. Ceasefire talks in Egypt. Meeting with Putin at the Kremlin. Ceasefire talks in Pakistan. Jared Kushner's been representing the United States at all of this and more, without ever having been properly vetted for the job.

Earlier this week, Trump said at a rally “if you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on Nov. 3, you get $5,000.” That raises serious ethical and legal issues.

NEW: We just filed a lawsuit, alongside @democracyforward.org—on behalf of @lwv.org, @epic.org and @lulacorg.bsky.social—challenging the Trump administration’s secretive and unlawful effort to compile sensitive personal information about millions of voters into a massive nationwide database.

ICYMI: We sued Jared Kushner for breaking the law by acting as one of the country’s top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. The court cannot allow this to continue and must intervene.

In the time it takes you to watch this video, Trump will have already made $51,064—more than most Americans make in 10 months. Meanwhile, his corruption is making your life more expensive...

Roughly 6 in 10 Americans believe that President Trump is profiting off the presidency in unethical or illegal ways. Meanwhile, just over half of Americans believe that Trump has prioritized his own financial interests "a lot" since returning to office.

Jared Kushner is currently acting with the authority of the US government—and yet, he has not gone through Senate confirmation or filed his financial disclosures. No one is above the law. So @citizensforethics.org filed a lawsuit to block him from this outsized role.

BREAKING: We just sued Jared Kushner for unlawfully acting as one of the country's top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. It’s abundantly clear that he should be blocked from performing this outsized role: www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...
