.@SenWarren is LIVE calling out the culture of corruption in Washington and introducing bold new legislation to end it. Tune in: #EndCorruptionNow
.@SenWarren: "Across the board, our government is failing to fix the problems that face our working families. It's making the problems worse by giving more power, more money and more advantages to those who already have all three." #EndCorruptionNow
.@SenWarren: The recent explosion of political spending has delivered a gut punch to American democracy... Big money has created a pervasive culture of soft corruption in Washington that colors nearly every decision Congress makes.

RT if you agree: We need to #EndCorruptionNow.
Our corruption problem is enormous, but we can fix it. We can padlock the revolving door, ban elected officials from becoming lobbyists after they leave Congress *for the rest of their lives,* stop self-dealing by elected officials (looking at you, @realDonaldTrump), and more.
.@SenWarren is right: It's time to ban elected officials from owning or trading any company stocks while in office. And it's time to make every lobbyist meeting with policymakers a matter of public record. It's time to #EndCorruptionNow.
.@SenWarren: "It's time to end corporate capture of rule-making. We must prosecute companies that mislead government agencies and stop the practice of companies paying for sham studies designed to undermine the rule-making process." #EndCorruptionNow
We must build an independent anti-corruption agency to ensure all public officials file disclosures and get rid of conflicts, close up the lobbyist loopholes, shine a light on government actions and empower the public and the press with new tools to help safeguard our democracy.
Our country has responded to corruption with deep changes before. Now's our time to do the same.

Thank you @SenWarren for introducing the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, the most ambitious anti-corruption legislation proposed since Watergate. theintercept.com/2018/08/21/eli…
