More corruption. A top advisor to RFK Jr. maintained a multi-million-dollar stake in his wellness company that could directly benefit from Trump's expansion of Health Savings Accounts last summer.
He didn't divest until November.
The grift in this Admin knows no end.

This "case" — like the last one — is a clear political persecution.
The Trump DOJ continues to act as the President's personal attack dog, using taxpayer money to settle Trump's petty grievances.
This is blatant authoritarianism.
A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers.
They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.
Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!
Outrageous. Trump plans to deny legal residency in the US based on whether he agrees with your speech.
Since when did it become "anti-American" to criticize the actions of a foreign government? Who is he fighting for?

Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation. Our democracy can only function when we resolve our differences peacefully.
I am grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and that no one was seriously injured last night.
The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center helps farmers feed our country. Now the Trump Admin is trying to shutter it.
This move isn't just wrong, it’s against the law — going against legislation we passed last year to protect it.
We will fight this every step of the way.
The Trump Admin admits that its projections of how many tourists would come to the US after he took office were way off.
Now World Cup fans are picking games in Mexico & Canada over the U.S. & it’s not hard to guess why.
He is driving people away and hurting our economy.
You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.
My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.
This 5 year old girl lost her father in the Key Bridge collapse & now ICE is deporting her mother.
Trump’s ICE operation is going after the weakest, not the worst.
This is the kind of inhumanity we must end.
I join the Committee to Protect Journalists & others in demanding an international investigation and accountability for her death.
[2/2]
Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon.
Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year.
[1/2]
Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."
Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers.
Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is ready for launch! Once operational it will help us see further into the depths of our universe than ever before.
This revolutionary telescope was assembled by the team at NASA Goddard, right here in MD, ahead of schedule & under budget.
The last time Secretary Lutnick appeared before the Senate, I pressed him on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
On Feb 27th, @merkley.senate.gov & I sent him a letter asking him for certain records and to answer questions. He did not respond.
The American people deserve transparency.
This ruling is a total betrayal of the separation of church & state.
Trump presenting himself as Christ, Hegseth's attempt to quote bible verses, & now this: Are we a democracy or a theocracy?
www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
Today, Senate Republicans once again made their priorities clear: instead of working to lower costs and making everyday life more affordable for Americans, they are hellbent on providing a blank check for Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP operations.
My full statement:
Instead of focusing on priorities people care about, tonight Republicans are using a procedural end-run to get around the will of the American people & stuff ICE & CBP with billions more of your taxpayer dollars.
Today, Sec Bessent revealed that the Trump Admin plans to send BILLIONS of dollars to help other countries keep their economies afloat while ignoring needs here at home.
Once again, the 'America First' president is focused everywhere except the wallets of working Americans.
Netanyahu says he’s 'saddened' by images of an IDF soldier defacing a crucifix in Lebanon.
But if he truly cared about attacks against Christians, he’d end rampant settler violence against them in the West Bank & harassment in Jerusalem.
Being sad isn't enough, DO SOMETHING!
