Here’s what the agreements do.
When a family fights their landlord over mold, lead paint, a rodent infestation, they often have to sign away their right to talk about it just to enter the dispute process. Even if they never get a settlement, they stay silent.
The gag is the price of admission.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves.
Confidentiality agreements forced on military families in privatized base housing have jumped more than 300% in six years. In 2020 just 15 families signed one. Last year the number hit 67.
This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.
This cannot be normalized.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.
Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.
This is one payment.
It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.
As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium.
The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project.
Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade.
The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum.
The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June.
This would be a huge scandal for any other president.
A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.
This is an increasingly desperate president, with a war ongoing and costs rising, laying the foundation to attack the 2026 elections and our voting rights.
We must be vigilant, and our answer must be an overwhelming victory at the polls.
No court, no audit, and none of the documents he declassified show a single flipped vote.
He has spent years attacking American elections with claims that repeatedly collapse under scrutiny. Now he has declassified documents that undermine his own story, and he is asking Americans to ignore them.
Russia is the only country identified as carrying out confirmed election influence operations.
So Trump stood before the American people, blamed the country his own intelligence found did not interfere, and ignored the country his own intelligence found was working to help him win.
The same intelligence assessment found something very different about Russia. Vladimir Putin authorized influence operations intended to damage Joe Biden and help Donald Trump.
The government’s own summary chart tells the same story.
Reflecting on Trump’s rant last night, one thing I didn’t expect is the actual documents his own administration declassified would refute his key claims.
The National Intelligence Council found that China did not conduct covert election interference in 2020.

The government just spent $1.5 billion of your money buying two immigration prisons from CoreCivic, including Otay Mesa in San Diego. The company walks away with over $1B.
Trump owns CoreCivic stock. He holds shares in the company his own administration just enriched.
Totally corrupt.
No matter what the president claims tonight, remember that the Constitution governs this country, not one man.
Presidents come and go.
Our founding principles are what must endure.
We must not allow this administration to normalize corruption. Trump’s favorite move is flooding the zone so Americans never get a chance to pay close attention.
That is why we must keep calling out their grift, and why I will never stop doing exactly that.

Trump’s DOJ leadership shut the investigation down before they could act.
When the federal government refuses to enforce the law, the states have to do it themselves. 12 of them just did.
