Today, we launched our Unrig Washington campaign, a bold new standard for Democrats to show voters that as a party we're serious about cleaning up Washington.

So far, 83 Democratic candidates and Members of Congress have joined this campaign.

Members of Congress should not be trading stocks and profiting off their service.

It’s that simple.

Rep. Kim didn't just slip up once; she ignored federal disclosure law five different times, hiding the source of nearly $50,000 used to fund multiple trips.

Outside watchdogs shouldn't have to force a sitting member to follow the law. #CA40
Rep. Young Kim didn’t disclose all of her sponsored travel, complaint alleges
The Anaheim Hills Republican has since amended her financial forms to disclose the trips taken from 2022 to 2024.

President Trump doesn't understand the affordability crisis because he's never had to worry about it.

Instead, he's making millions off an elected office that's meant to serve the American people.
At the first stop on his affordability tour, Trump mocks affordability
What was supposed to be a speaking tour to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages was instead a greatest hits campaign speech.

After voting for it in 2015, Rep. Tom Tiffany recently criticized the overhaul of campaign finance laws that has fueled record election spending in Wisconsin.

Unlike Rep. Tiffany, ECU endorsed @theothermandela.bsky.social has consistently stood for campaign finance reform.

Ohioans know the meaning of hard work.

So, when folks in Washington, like Jon Husted, vote to take away their hard-earned pay to give tax breaks to billionaires and corporations, it really ticks me off.

Before the disastrous Citizens United decision, about 25% of the money spent in elections was undisclosed. Now, only about 25% of the money spent in elections is fully disclosed.

Undisclosed political donations, otherwise known as dark money, are a scourge on our democracy.

The GOP made an enormous cut to Medicaid to pay for the largest billionaire tax break in this country's history, so of course they're going to be held accountable at the ballot box.

At least they know what's coming.

The same billionaires that corruptly packed the court with right-wing justices are the same ones that would benefit if SCOTUS got rid of coordinated campaign spending limits in NRSC vs. FEC.

@whitehouse.senate.gov and I talked about it in yesterday's livestream.

Trump says it's an A++++ economy. He's right. His billionaire friends have never had it better.

If you're a working class person:
👉60% live paycheck to paycheck
👉Grocery prices at record highs
👉Premiums to double for 20+ million

The economy must work for all, not just the 1%

Tom Homan's former clients are cashing in big time on his and Trump's inhumane immigration agenda. This is what the synergy of corruption and cruelty looks like.

The campaign corruption case just argued in the Supreme Court attracted a flotilla of creepy front groups who filed “amicus” briefs — 15 of them by our count!

The Supreme Court refuses to require disclosure of the connections between them. Smelly.

The two founders of Venture Global, a natural gas company that poured $1 million into Corrupt Trump's inauguration, each bought around $12 million in stocks after meeting with senior Trump officials.

It sounds like insider trading and @merkley.senate.gov isn't letting it slide.

The system is rigged – the rich keep getting richer, while the middle class pays for their tax cuts.

Jon Husted wants to keep it that way. That's why we've got to beat him in November.

Congresswoman Kim blatantly disregarded federal law, got caught red-handed, and only moved to fix it after we filed our complaint. #CA40

In 2015, Rep. Tom Tiffany voted for unlimited amounts of money to flow through parties and committees into individual campaigns.

Now, he's criticizing Big Money spending in Wisconsin elections.

The affordability crisis hasn't stopped Rep. Young Kim from wining and dining and jet-setting in business class.

She's too busy working for herself and her donors to fight for the hardworking families in #CA40.
