If any other president had done a fraction of this, the outrage would have been bipartisan and immediate. The Constitution has an Emoluments Clause for a reason.
Foreign governments do not get to buy access to American presidents, and presidents do not get to pocket the hardware when they leave.

He wants it as the centerpiece of his presidential library in Miami after he leaves office. A gift from a foreign monarchy, upgraded on the public’s dime, parked in a monument to himself.
Then we spent hundreds of millions of your tax dollars retrofitting it with military communications gear and security equipment. Some estimates put the total taxpayer cost as high as $1 billion.
And now?
Trump wants to keep the plane.
Qatar Force One would be a scandal to end any other administration.
Donald Trump accepted a $400 million luxury 747 from the government of Qatar.
A foreign government handed the President of the United States a personal aircraft, and he took it.
250 years ago, our founders pledged everything to a single idea. A government that answers to the people. America has never belonged to any one man, and it never will.
Happy Independence Day.
The American experiment continues, and it’s ours to defend.
And what has this administration done? Erased the government’s power to fight climate change while families stand in front of open fire hydrants trying to cool off.
Reality doesn’t need Trump’s permission.
Trump can deny climate change all he wants. The heat wave punishing the country this week doesn’t care what he thinks.
Scientists just confirmed this kind of extreme heat would have been “virtually impossible” before we started burning fossil fuels at scale.
Veterans are waiting on care. Communities need disaster relief. And the People’s House sits idle because the Speaker can’t manage his own members.
If Mike Johnson can’t do the job, he should step aside and make room for someone who will actually lead this Congress and serve the American people.
ICYMI: The House isn’t voting today. Why? Because Mike Johnson, the weakest Speaker in the history of our institution, once again couldn’t hold his own caucus together long enough to accomplish a single thing all week.
Families are struggling with costs.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
A big reason I wanted a seat on Energy and Water Appropriations was to fight for local infrastructure projects exactly like this.
I’ll keep fighting proposed cuts to the Army Corps budget that could slow this work down. Oceanside has waited long enough. We are going to see this through.
This month, the Army Corps finally released its draft. It recommends placing 4 million cubic yards of sand along our beaches, with renourishment every 10 years.
This is real progress for a community that has watched a generation lose its beaches.
Congress ordered a study in 2000 and gave the Army Corps 44 months to finish it. Instead, it remained unfinished for 26 years, slowed by funding gaps while other priorities moved ahead.
I fought to secure $1.8 million in 2022 and another $2.2 million in 2025 to move this study forward.
For 73 years, Oceanside’s beaches have been disappearing. The federal government acknowledged back in 1953 that Camp Pendleton harbor disrupted the natural flow of sand along our coastline.
But it failed to deliver a lasting solution for decades.
The only way to change it is a constitutional amendment, which takes 2/3 of both chambers plus 3/4 of the states.
Trump’s response was to call on Congress to pass a law instead. Many 7th graders could explain why that does not work.
Free Civics Lesson of the Day.
The Supreme Court just ruled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship.
Once the Court says the Constitution requires something, no executive order and no ordinary act of Congress can undo it.

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing.
The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it.
You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.
In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency. With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.
American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.
