I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.
I think it's a story everyone needs to know.
1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

2/ The Trump crypto coin scam - maybe the biggest corruption story of them all.
3/ Trump changes the rules to allow his MAGA loyalists to get paid by foreign governments to lobby him in secret.
4/ The Eric Adams quid pro quo - where Trump allows him to engage in bribery as long as Adams pledges loyalty to Trump. Essentially, the end of the rule of law.
5/ Elon Musk starts cancelling his competitors' government contracts and illegally just takes the contracts for himself.
6/ Maybe the most brazen of it all - Trump starts selling meetings with him to CEOs with business before the White House. The price? $5 million.
7/ What Trump is trying to do is to engage in so much corruption and bribery and graft that it starts to feel normal. But it isn't normal. It's an outrage. It's our president stealing from us.
And my belief is that it's not too late to stop him. But only if we speak up.
