Nope, it's not normal for a president to have a growing crypto and foreign business empire that he refuses to divest from before taking office. Thanks for asking!.

With the expansion of Trump's foreign developments and his foray into cryptocurrency, among other ventures, he seems poised to rack up more conflicts than ever.

The Trump administration has claimed to be the most transparent in history. So why do we have to keep suing to get information that should already be public? What are they trying to hide?.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed to be “the most transparent” in history, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Trump's DC takeover is an unprecedented use of federal power that undercuts DC’s sovereignty, raises safety concerns and continues Trump’s alarming moves toward authoritarianism. That’s exactly why we filed FOIA requests with 11 federal agencies.

So far during Trump's 2nd term, the DOJ has fired or demoted more than two dozen prosecutors who were assigned to hold January 6th insurrectionists accountable. They were fired for doing their jobs and protecting our democracy. That's outrageous.

In its campaign of “uprooting the foot soldiers,” the Trump Justice Department has fired or demoted more than two dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors, even as those they sent to prison walk free.

The FBI conducted a search last week at the home of John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser who has feuded with the president for years. This raises questions about the weaponization of law enforcement.

A new study shows that the 400 richest Americans paid just 1.3% of their total wealth to the IRS from 2018 to 2020—far less than the average American. Now Trump's budget bill will help billionaires like him keep more of their money.

As the Trump administration continues to defy courts, attack judges and destroy guardrails, it’s vital that these attempts to undermine courts are called what they are: lawless intimidation.

NEW: The Supreme Court has said that a "fully informed citizenry" is “vital to the functioning of a democratic society.” . But the Trump administration’s all-out assault on government transparency is putting our democracy at risk. What are they hiding?

With just 217 days in office, President Trump has made 112 visits to his own properties. 75 of those visits were to his golf courses alone. No, we're not kidding.

If you don't like a court's decision, you can appeal. But instead of pursuing the legal avenues Trump is targeting judges with explosive rhetoric like “radical Left lunatic,” “troublemaker and agitator,” and “radical rogue judges.” That's dangerous.
