I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.

I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.

1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

2/ The Trump crypto coin - the biggest scandal in the history of the American presidency.

3/ Trump ends enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, so that his staff can more easily get paid on the side by foreign governments and companies seeking to bribe the Trump Administration.

4/ The most brazen abuse of prosecutorial power in a generation - the quid pro quo with Mayor Eric Adams.

5/ Trump’s new U.S. Attorney for Washington DC begins his campaign of harassment against Trump and Musk critics. DoJ is now just doing full time political enforcement for Trump.

6/ Trump starts selling meetings with him to CEOs. For $5 million.

7/ Trump turns the White House into a Tesla showroom to make clear he will boost the profit of any CEO who collaborates with him.

8/ Now, Trump thinks he can get away with ANYTHING. He starts selling access to the White House for people who buy his crypto coin.

9/ Trump launches a new private club in DC with a $500,000 buy in to allow corporations and oligarchs the chance to pay money to have access to Trump’s inner circle.

10/ These are just a small handful of the dozens of mind blowingly corrupt acts in Trump’s first 100 days. And this corruption is a big part of the reason his approval ratings are cratering. The American people refuse to let him normalize this level of graft.
