While Americans struggle to afford gas, health care, and groceries, Trump is doing everything in his power to profit off the presidency. I’m breaking down the cost of his corruption to you, with his top ten worst grifts... so far. 🧵

Since Trump's inauguration, defense tech companies linked to his sons have generated over $3.2B in direct government business and $3.1B in future contract options. Call this what it is: corruption.

Trump says he doesn’t care about inflation. Says he doesn’t care about rising prices. I spent all Friday hearing from New Yorkers across the state struggling with soaring grocery bills and gas prices, directly impacted by his costly tariffs and reckless foreign wars that have made life unaffordable for working families.

Donald Trump has turned the presidency into the most lucrative business venture of his life, nearly tripling his net worth. It's repulsive. This level of self-dealing is unlike anything we’ve seen from any other President and my Republican colleagues should stop enabling it.

It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet. These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.

Billionaires get richer while working families struggle. The U.S. is in decline. How do we turn that around and create an economy that works for ALL? We knock on doors and build our grassroots movement. They have the money. We have the people. ORGANIZE. ORGANIZE. ORGANIZE.

A thousand days of destruction. No end in sight. As Israel's genocidal war in Palestine's Gaza goes on, more than 2,700 families have been wiped out from the civil registry, over 90% of the enclave lies in ruins, and more than a million children are surviving on just one meal a day

Since June 22, Michigan has reported more than 170 cases of cyclosporiasis, an illness that mostly originates from contaminated food and water and can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, like explosive diarrhea. CBS News' @ashhar_quraishi has more information on the spiking cases, what they could mean for the rest of the U.S. and how to prevent yourself from getting it this holiday weekend. cbsn.ws/4ghPJx8

While Europe prides itself as being in the vanguard of efforts to switch to a net-zero economy, this year's heatwaves show how it has failed to prepare for the consequences of climate change already happening in the here-and-now reut.rs/4vGstgO

In a brazen stunt, a daredevil couple scaled New York's Empire State Building to unfurl a pro-peace banner and take selfies. One of the climbers then appeared to propose. @AaronKatersky reports as body camera video shows officers climbing to arrest them. abcnews.link/P7Gzq8n

A life-threatening heat dome making its way across the U.S. is putting more than half of the population from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast under extreme heat alerts. It comes as dozens of large wildfires burn in the West. Alex Perez has more. abcnews.link/I3trc5w

A record-breaking heat wave is intensifying across much of the central and eastern U.S., pushing temperatures to what officials are calling "dangerous" levels. More than 200 million Americans were under alerts on Tuesday for extreme heat. Temperatures felt well above 100 degrees across much of the Midwest. And soon, that same sweltering heat will peak in places like New York. As we look ahead to the July 4 weekend, forecasters say that, starting Wednesday, it's going to get worse before it gets better for large portions of the Midwest, including Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. The "heat dome," as it's known, shifts east by the end of the week, threatening record temperatures across New York, much of the Mid-Atlantic and even New England.
