Congress needs to step in and stop Trump from taking a $400 million bribe from Qatar. And we need a full independent investigation - hearings, special counsel, the works.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.
Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

In a real democracy, insider trading is a crime—even for a president. But when power protects the corrupt, it’s not justice—it’s the rule of law in free fall.

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.
Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.”
