    Senator Whitehouse thank you for continuing to call out the corrupt AG on her obfuscation and lying. You sat thru her arrogant behavior with focus and calm. And continued to do your work. We appreciate your service.

    Thank you Senator Whitehouse for following and reporting on the lawlessness and corruption of this administration, the DOJ and the SCOTUS, as well as all of your speeches on the floor of the Senate about this and the incredibly important issue of climate change. You do great work and I hope we will take control of the House and Senate in 26 and give you a chance to make the case and give it some serious teeth.

    Propublica just broke this story of their investigation: Trump is using his media company to allow rich donors to buy a piece of Trump and reap the benefits in the form of government contracts and tax breaks if he gets elected again. The investigative reporting connects the new “Trump TV” to a streaming technology company in Melania’s home country (Slovenia) and to a rich Republican donor who had made millions off his relationship with Trump already.
