Americans are losing money while Donald Trump sculpts a golden calf in the White House—serving the wealthy and himself, not the public. Corruption isn’t an abstract issue anymore—it’s hitting families at the kitchen table. Here are the facts: • He paused enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, weakening U.S. anti-bribery standards and inviting pay-to-play politics. • Trump’s tax proposals add $11 trillion to the deficit, setting the stage for cuts to Medicare, Social Security, and other essential programs. • Tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China are driving up prices for everyday Americans. • The Department of Education is being gutted, threatening public schools and undermining our future workforce. • Ethical lines continue to be crossed, with self-enrichment and cronyism on full display. None of this serves the average American. We need Congress to act now: 1. Reinstate and enforce anti-corruption laws. 2. Protect Social Security, Medicare, and public education from budget raids. 3. Reverse tariffs that punish consumers and businesses alike. 4. Investigate and hold accountable any abuse of public office for private gain. This isn’t about partisanship—it’s about protecting our democracy and restoring economic fairness. Please show the courage to lead.
