Stand Up America

It’s pretty clear that if you’re well-connected, you’ve got a good chace of receiving a get-out-of-jail free card from this White House.

WATCH: Richard Gere calls out Trump’s corrupt presidency November is coming and it’s time elect a Congress that will stand up for our democracy.

Corruption right out in the open.

It’s a pay-to-play: GEO Group donated to Trump’s campaign & inaugural committee. Now, GEO Group has a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall.

The slush fund needs to be banned.

GEO Group donated to Trump’s campaign & inaugural committee. Now, GEO Group has a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. Pay-to-play in plain sight.

Even Republicans are saying that Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund for January 6ers goes too far.

Trump is more concerned with a UFC fight and building his ballroom than with the fact that Americans are struggling to afford groceries.

We will not forget Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

Senator Ossoff: “What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves… what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls.” Republicans are afraid of Black political power–and they’re trying to destroy it by gerrymandering the South and restricting voting rights.

“Ken Paxton has a criminal record. I have a legislative record.” – James Talarico

You know what’s crazy? The President of the United States trading stocks.” – Senator Mark Kelly No elected official should be allowed to profit off their office.

The guy who just won Texas’s Republican Senate primary? The same guy the Republican-controlled Texas House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to impeach on 20 bribery and corruption-related charges in 2023. Ken Paxton is too corrupt to be a U.S. Senator.

Reminder: Sen. Tillis is talking about the guy who just won the GOP Texas U.S. Senate primary Ken Paxton is completely corrupt and unfit to be Texas’s next Senator.

“I have the right to speak out, to make a sign and peacefully join a protest without fear of punishment or retribution or worse.” – Actress Sally Field Our rights are enshrined in the Constitution. Period.

Just last week, Trump & his family received perpetual tax audit immunity.

Senator Jon Ossoff: “You all also probably saw that as he continues his project of turning the White House into his royal palace, he's demanding vast sums of money for his ballroom. This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Jon Stewart on the administration’s corrupt slush fund: “They’re gonna give it to people that sprayed mace at police officers and pretend they’re rewarding patriotism.”

South Carolina Republican State Senator on redistricting: “Too many people in power just want to do whatever it takes to stay in power.” Republicans are gerrymandering the South to weaken Black political power and keep their House majority.

Mark Kelly is right: we need to rein in corporate spending in our elections.

“There is no end to Donald Trump’s corruption.” – Ana Navarro

Republican Senator Thom Tillis on the $1.8 billion slush fund: “I think it’s stupid on stilts… Taxpayer dollars will compensate someone who assaulted a police officer.” Taxpayer money should not be going to January 6th insurrectionists who assaulted police.

Charlamagne tha God: The president doesn’t care about the struggles of working Americans. He cares about rewarding his allies.

There is nothing more American than freedom of speech.

No president should be making thousands of stock trades on the very corporations their administration makes policy decisions about.

“Somehow he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.” – Governor Josh Shapiro

Charlamagne tha God on Trump: “Our taxpayer dollars going to this weaponization fund to compensate his allies should piss you off. You should be outraged.”

This administration is just one big grift.

ICE should be held accountable–not given another blank check.

$1.7 billion will be paid to friends & allies of the president… given out by other friends & allies of the president.

Completely unprecedented corruption.

We need a national ban on gerrymandering.

James Carville: “The Supreme Court frankly is a corrupt branch of government.” Term limits. Court expansion. A binding code of ethics. The Supreme Court needs to be held accountable.

Southern Republicans are actively destroying Southern Black political power in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act.

“This is Jim Crow 2.0, it's sick.” – Gavin Newsom on efforts across the South to eliminate Black representation in Congress

WATCH: Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones on how his state erased its only Black-majority district, then kicked Democrats off their committees

Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and John Roberts just gutted the Voting Rights Act and cleared the way for racist gerrymanders across the South. The Court needs reform.

“President Trump is suing the IRS for a $10 billion shakedown.” – Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse Your taxpayer funds have no business paying off the president.

“This Supreme Court has shown that it is nothing but an illegitimate arm of the Republican Party.”

If the Department of Justice—run by Trump’s former personal lawyer—settles Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, he could more than double his net worth with $10 billion in taxpayer funds.

The White House is a pay-to-play and Jared Kushner is winning the game: he’s already made millions as an unappointed Special Envoy.

The Supreme Court just erased Black representation in the South.

He probably doesn't think about “Americans’ financial situation” because he’s too busy thinking about getting $1 billion for his ballroom or getting $10 billion from taxpayers.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for Trump’s new gilded ballroom.

The will of the voters is being ignored in Virginia.

WATCH: The Republican Governor of Louisiana says that discarding 45,000 already filled out ballots is “not a big deal.”

Virginia is a wake-up call for Democratic states 👀 “This is the time to start fighting back and recognize the urgency of this moment.” Our democracy is worth it.

Tennessee Republicans just redrew Memphis’ only Black-majority district to steal a House seat for Trump.

Warnock is right. The right-wing majority on the Supreme Court is just made up of politicians in robes, and they’re doing Trump’s dirty work for him. The court needs comprehensive reform.

Rev. William Barber: Here’s what wouldn’t have passed without the Voting Rights Act

The Constitution is clear.

The Supreme Court needs a binding code of ethics and term limits.

Donald Trump is only concerned with his pet projects, not how his policies are hurting working Americans.

Watch civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill explain how Justice John Roberts led the charge to gut the Voting Rights Act.

Reminder that Trump’s former personal lawyer is now the Attorney General for the United States.

News flash: the Department of Justice should not be Trump’s personal law firm.

The grift runs deep in the current administration.

“I've seen this before. I lived this before. Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.” – Rep. John Lewis to the 2012 Democratic National Convention

Reminder: only one party has ever supported a ban on gerrymandering In 2019, every single House Democrat voted for a bill that would have banned partisan gerrymandering, and every single Republican voted against it.

“We are a corrupt nation. We have a corrupt administration. We have a corrupt Supreme Court.” – James Carville

The Republican governor of Louisiana is using the Supreme Court’s decision to stop an election that’s already started Republicans are trying to win the midterms any way they can because they know they won’t win on their policies.

After the Supreme Court majority gutted the Voting Rights Act yesterday, Donald Trump called the ruling the “kind of ruling I like.” Of course he did. His handpicked justices just delivered him an election-year gift: Republicans could secure as many as 19 new GOP House seats.

President Obama in 2013: “I might not be here as president had it not been for those who courageously helped to pass the Voting Rights Act.”

Only one party is fighting for your voting rights.
