Trump is hosting an exclusive dinner for the top 185 holders of his meme coin. Let's be real here: this borders on bribery. The grifter in charge is lining his pockets while his buyers lose billions. It appears that our president might be up for sale to the highest bidder.

The government says it can't afford human needs programs like SNAP or Medicare. But they found $11 MILLION taxpayer dollars for Trump's propaganda TV ads. Your money was wasted on a clear Hatch Act violation - and you’re never getting your money back.

Read our full report highlighting the corporations that are benefiting from enforcement rollbacks: www.citizen.org/news/corpora...

Elon Musk pledged to spend $100 MILLION in the midterms. Tesla and SpaceX benefited from four canceled federal enforcement actions each. You see how this looks, right?

hello, it is us, the enemy.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post from the account "@realDonaldTrump" with a profile picture featuring the U.S. flag. The post states that the White House views the use of the term "Artificial Intelligence" as opposed to "Super Intelligence" as erroneous, labeling anyone who does so as "The Enemy." The post claims to be from "President DONALD J. TRUMP." The post shows 164 ReTruths and 576 Likes and is dated 10/8/26 at 18:14.

Trump's new SNAP & Medicaid requirements will make it harder for millions of working people to get critical support. In America, the lifesaving programs always get slashed, while the war machine budget continues to grow. This is despicable.

TODAY: Our Co-President Rob Weissman will be speaking with Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov at 11:15 ET on artificial intelligence, big tech, and the influence of dark money in politics.

Trump has, once again, blocked media outlets that report accurately on him from joining his press pool. The fragile ego of this man-child can only handle press that fawns over him.

Title reads: "White House blocks Politico from Air Force One trip, cannot secure replacement.

Imagine if a pilot said we should accept a plane crashing for the benefit of innovation. Imagine if a doctor said we should let patients die for the benefit of innovation. Bad outcomes shouldn't be the norm. Regulate AI NOW!

The Trump admin has canceled federal investigations, lawsuits, and penalties for OVER 200 corporations. Over 40% of those corporations have ties to Trump or his administration. In this admin, a donation or partnership with Trump could make your legal matters disappear.

You can expect that $90 around the same time you get your DOGE refund, your ACA rebate, and your $5,000 payout.

Text displaying "Trump pledges to send $90 checks to millions of seniors on Medicare" on a dark background.

Trump said he will stop using taxpayer dollars to pay for his partisan TV commercials. Great. But what about our money that was already wasted on these illegal ads? Trump's admin must reimburse the Treasury & face the consequences for violating federal law and the Hatch Act.

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 5:13 PM

At a campaign rally, Trump approvingly said Iran could "take out" Los Angeles or San Diego. What kind of president “jokes” about the mass killing of Americans and the destruction of our cities? This is disgusting & unacceptable!

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 3:09 PM

Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $1 trillion, again. $1 trillion could fund SNAP benefits for the entire country for a WHOLE DECADE. No one person should hoard that much wealth.

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 7:11 PM

The U.S. rejected a UN declaration on international collaboration to prepare and respond to future pandemics. This foolish decision won't just impact global health. It will be detrimental to the health of Americans. Blocking this collaboration is a dumb unforced error.

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 5:15 PM

We’re calling on Congress to investigate these incidents: www.citizen.org/article/coal...

An OpenAI agent hacked into an Australian healthcare database. This is the first time a rogue AI agent has hacked a government network. This is probably the 20th alarm bell to sound THIS MONTH!! We need a federal AI framework NOW - before it's too late.

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 2:36 PM

Trump published a second partisan TV ad paid for with taxpayer dollars. This an appalling violation of the law. We filed a complaint with the FCC and FTC urging broadcasters to immediately stop airing this illegal ad.

@publiccitizen.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 6:37 PM

Brendan Carr is showing, again, that he works for Donald Trump, not the American people. Trump is using taxpayer money for political propaganda in an effort to influence the election. It’s wrong. It’s illegal. An FCC chair doing their job would say so & put an end to the ads.
