#5 - Billionaire Favoritism
Trump’s FAA threatened to cancel a long-standing contract with Verizon in hopes of replacing it with a contract with Elon Musk-owned Starlink.
No open bidding. No oversight. Just blatant favoritism for a billionaire donor and buddy.

#6 - Musk's Insider Info
Elon Musk and his DOGE bros gained access to enforcement data at OSHA, and the private information of millions of Americans held by the IRS and other agencies.
He now holds the data to power his AI, or to weaponize against his competitors.
#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window
Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials.
Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.
#8 - Quid Pro Quo …Again
Indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams got his charges dropped in what appeared to be a quid pro quo for pledging to do Trump’s dirty work on unrelated immigration policy.
Numerous DOJ officials resigned in protest, and justice was never served.
#9 - Gutting the Watchdogs
Trump has acted to dismantle or manipulate regulatory agencies, like the NLRB and CFPB, that are, in many cases, investigating companies owned by Musk and Trump's other billionaire buddies.
With no watchdogs, corruption becomes policy.
#10 - The Tesla Ad
During a Tesla stock crash and days after Elon Musk infused $100m into Trump's political operation, the two stood on the South Lawn of the White House, posing for the cameras while the President purchased a Tesla.
Pay to play and product placement on the White House lawn.
Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable.
Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples.
(Thread 🧵)
The White House wants us to look away from their alleged insider trading. Rep. Mike Levin and I won't let that happen.
If Trump's inner circle made profits off of people's suffering, the public deserves to know.
Donald Trump‘s corrupt memecoin scheme somehow just got even worse.
Let’s break it all down:

I've only been in the U.S. Senate for a few months but I'm doing everything I can to fight back against this administration.
Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines. We need everyone to be in this fight for the rule of law, our families, and our future.
A lot of people don’t know what a U.S. Attorney does. Let alone why one may be worse than others.
Well, I’ve put a hold on the U.S. Attorney nominee for Washington, DC. Here’s why:
Political scientists have a term to describe the first 100 days of the Trump Administration:
"Shit-show"
I discuss on Bill Maher:
Let’s be clear — Trump is nothing more than a shill for the oil industry.
He says he’s for energy independence, but he’s not. He’s for oil dependence. And killing off any alternative.
During Trump 1.0, California led the fight to protect our environment.
And we’re going to again.
Donald Trump is back to attacking me today because the economy has been in a tailspin under his economic mismanagement.
And so have his poll numbers.
And the last thing he wants — is people holding him accountable.
Attack me as you much as you like, Mr. President, I’m not backing down.
Donald Trump is wrecking our economy but not without making sure he takes care of his buddies first.
The corruption is astonishing. The opportunities for graft are endless.
@warren.senate.gov and I are demanding answers.
Is Donald Trump trying to fire the chair of the Federal Reserve?
Every day it seems like there's a different answer – but either way it hurts you.
Let's break it down:

"We're doing fine with China." - Donald Trump
Families struggling with high costs are not doing fine. Seniors losing retirement savings are not doing fine. Small businesses having to charge more are not doing fine.
We’re all hurting because of this reckless presidency.
Standing with the Armenian community in Glendale to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
We must stand up to Azerbajian's continued aggression and insist on the release of Armenian POWs.
And we must demand justice.
We're at a perilous moment – and we will get through it — but it's going to take all of us.
I'm so inspired by the 2,000 who showed up for my town hall in SLO.
We're all in this together.
