Add your name if you agree: The president should not be able to own and trade stocks. Or the vice president. Or members of Congress.

Danielle,

I’m so sick of Donald Trump’s corruption.

I want to be focused entirely on the things that I know matter most to you: Lower prescription drug prices, better wages, and an economy that works for working people.

But it seems like every single day Trump is coming up with a new way to use the presidency to enrich himself rather than lower costs for you — and we need to call it out and fight back.

Between the frenzy of his $10 billion lawsuit against his own IRS, and the sham settlement that created a $1.8 billion slush fund to compensate January 6th insurrectionists, it was also reported that Trump has been astonishing Wall Street insiders with his trading activity.

In just the first three months of this year, Trump’s accounts made over 3,000 stock trades — roughly 60 trades every day the market was open.

He traded up to $680,000 in Eli Lilly while his administration shaped policies that could boost the company’s profits from its weight-loss drug.

He traded Nvidia — then approved the sale of advanced chips to China.

He bought stock in defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman — while the U.S. is in yet another war in the Middle East.

Trump is trading stocks in companies his administration impacts through policy. He's holding the stocks and pulling the levers that determine their value.

Looks like corruption. Plain and simple.

Bottom line: The president should not be able to own and trade stocks. Or the vice president. Or members of Congress. And we have a plan to ban this. If you believe presidents and politicians shouldn’t be allowed to own or trade stocks, add your name now.

ADD YOUR NAME

Every modern president before Trump has understood that holding individual stocks while running the country was a fundamental conflict of interest.

But truthfully, this isn't just a Trump problem.

Members of Congress have been doing a version of this for years.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are trading stocks in the very industries they regulate and the defense contractors they fund. Making suspicious trades right before major announcements. And facing little to no consequences.

I couldn’t think of a simpler way to restore the people’s trust in their government than banning stock trading by top government officials.

Let’s show that this plan has strong, public support: If you agree that presidents, vice presidents, and members of Congress should be banned from owning and trading stocks, add your name here.

Working families deserve a government focused on lowering costs and improving lives — not politicians treating public office like a personal investment strategy.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

Kentucky

Danielle, exciting news out of Kentucky:

Charles Booker is officially the Democratic nominee in the race to flip Mitch McConnell’s open Senate seat.

His campaign is fighting for big, structural changes: Passing universal child care, regulating AI & big tech, and a Medicare for All health care system.

He can flip this seat because he’s fighting like hell to make life more affordable for working people. Meanwhile, his Republican opponent just cares about impressing Trump.

But in order to win he needs a strong grassroots movement by his side. That’s why I’m asking you to split a contribution right now between Charles and our campaign — to start building on his momentum now and win big in November.

Look, this race has been on the far-right’s radar. Elon Musk even poured $10 million into supporting a candidate earlier this year.

They know that they need to cling onto this seat to keep their power — and they’re willing to put up a strong fight.

But if we invest early into the critical organizing work needed to flip this seat, we can compete — and we can end McConnell’s legacy by electing an unapologetic, progressive leader like Charles.

Democrats have a real chance at taking back the Senate this November, and in order to do that we need to put up a strong offense in states like Kentucky. So will you split a contribution of anything you can today to support Charles Booker and our movement for big, structural change?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

This is an insane level of corruption

Danielle,

I’ve spent my career fighting against corruption. But what we’re seeing right now is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

Let me just catch you up on what just happened.

Donald Trump decided to sue the IRS — his own government that he runs — for $10 billion over the leaking of his tax returns during his first administration.

But just after a federal judge had ordered both sides to explain why the case didn’t create a massive conflict of interest — because Trump controls both the agency he sued and the lawyers defending it — this took a different turn.

His personal lawyers and his DOJ lawyers (remember they’re supposed to be on two different sides in this case) reached a sham settlement where the government agreed to create a $1.8 billion fund to compensate his political allies who believe they’ve been “wrongfully convicted,” potentially including the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th.

All paid for by American taxpayers.

This level of corruption is staggering.

And it's why I introduced the Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act — legislation to make it illegal for a sitting president or vice president to receive settlement payments from the federal government they control — or to direct those payments to a third party.

Add your name if you want to help put an end to this corruption, stop politicians from rigging the system, and make sure taxpayer dollars are never treated like a personal slush fund again.

ADD YOUR NAME

Look, Trump used the threat of a lawsuit against his own government to pressure nearly $2 billion out of the U.S. Treasury.

No jury decided this. No judge approved it. Congress never voted on it.

It’s like Trump said: Nice lawsuit I’ve got here. Shame if someone had to keep defending against it… unless there was a payout for my allies.

And what makes this especially outrageous is how the fund was structured. Once the money is transferred, the government’s own order says it has “no liability whatsoever” for what happens next.

No accountability. No oversight. No clawback. Just $1.8 billion flowing into a fund controlled by Trump’s DOJ, to be distributed however they choose to Trump’s allies.

My legislation would ban presidents and vice presidents from collecting settlement payments from the government they control, require transparency and independent oversight, and impose real penalties for abuse.

This legislation draws a hard ethical line: Presidents cannot try to financially benefit from the very government they are controlling.

Add your name if you believe no president should be able to turn a sham lawsuit into a billion-dollar cash grab for political allies.

Thanks for being part of this,

Elizabeth

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history.

Danielle,

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history.

They gutted the Voting Rights Act — allowing states to redraw maps that slice up diverse districts.

For instance: After their decision, Tennessee Republicans wasted no time in redistricting their House map to slice Memphis into three different districts.

Louisiana Republicans just advanced a map that eliminates a Democratic district.

And they lifted a mandate for Alabama to use a map with two majority-Black districts.

Let’s be clear about what this means: They're blatantly trying to silence Black voters to try and hold onto power.

We must fight back using every lever we’ve got. So I’m calling on Congress to step up and pass federal voting rights protections. I’m donating resources to states with races in 2026 so Democrats can win back our majorities. And I’m fighting for Supreme Court reform so we can root corruption out of the judiciary and expand the court.

But we’ve also got to make sure that state parties have the resources they need to fight back and defend disenfranchised voters.

So I’m asking you to make a split contribution to state parties in Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, and South Carolina. These are states that are fighting the immediate repercussions of this ruling — and who could use strong support right now.

Add your name if you endorse my plan to reform the Supreme Court

Danielle,

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of waking up every day waiting on pins and needles to learn whether or not Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court is going to uphold our rights.

Right now, we are one court ruling away from women losing access to mifepristone — the safest, most common form of abortion in America.

The Court also just took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history — opening the floodgates for states like Alabama and Tennessee to silence Black voters and redraw their Congressional maps.

How can we stop a small group of people from drowning out the will of the people?

Our immediate priority is to take back our Senate majority. Donald Trump could appoint two more justices to the Supreme Court if he has the Senate votes to confirm them — and we must put an immediate check on this.

But I'm also keeping an eye on the big picture: reforming the Court.

That means passing my Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act — and expanding the Court to rebalance it.

My plan would:

Require Supreme Court justices to follow a binding Code of Conduct
Strengthen restrictions on judicial gifts and privately funded travel
Ban judges from owning individual stocks and securities, commercial real estate, trusts, and private companies (can you believe that’s not the law already?)
Overhaul the broken recusal process, so Supreme Court justices would have to publicly respond — and justify their decision — if a litigant in a case asks the justice to recuse themselves

There are real solutions to the root cause of this crisis but it’s going to take big ideas — and big, structural changes.

Add your name if you endorse this plan. To undo the damage done by the right-wing takeover of our federal courts, we must take back the Senate to block Trump from nominating two more justices, root corruption out of the judiciary, and rebalance the Supreme Court by expanding it.

ADD YOUR NAME
