Trump has now agreed to a settlement with an IRS commissioner he can fire and an acting attorney general who wants a nomination to drop his $10 billion lawsuit in exchange for a $1.7 billion slush fund to "compensate" the henchmen who committed crimes for his benefit. This could include the nearly 1,600 people charged with attacking the Capitol to overturn the results of the election on January 6th.

This is a theft from the American taxpayers, playing out right in the open. The White House is going to use our money to pay off himself and the thugs who committed political violence on his behalf. There will certainly be legal challenges ahead, but as Rep. Jamie Raskin has pointed out Congress has power over spending, which means they can stop it from going forward... and if they don't, it's because their members/leadership are making a choice to allow it. 🗣️ Let’s reach out to our reps and demand they prevent a single penny of our money from being used for Trump’s slump fund.

With Trump evading justice so many times, it seems to be harder than ever to hold politicians accountable for anything… especially if they’re in the Republican Party. Too many of them have learned that they can brazen their way through what should be career-ending sins.

There are a number of members of the House of Representatives right now who, in a better world, would face consequences long before they faced the voters. We will be demanding they do. But at this moment we cannot count on that happening. These folks have thoroughly disqualified themselves from public service, and we need to be prepared to take them down at the ballot box.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has a rap sheet extensive enough that even in Mike Johnson’s House there’s a chance he’ll face expulsion:

• He’s had a restraining order issued against him by a judge after an ex-girlfriend accused him of threatening her with violence and revenge porn
• He’s been accused of domestic abuse by a different girlfriend, for which he avoided arrest thanks to the intervention of then-U.S. attorney Ed Martin
• He’s been accused of obtaining a Bronze Star through stolen valor
• He’s been accused of multiple violations of campaign finance laws (which the Office of Congressional Conduct has indicated there is substantial reason to believe)
• He’s been accused of making arms deals with both the federal government and foreign countries while a member of Congress (which the Office of Congressional Conduct has indicated there is substantial reason to believe)

Mills is actively under an Ethics Committee investigation and has been this entire Congress. Given the reports that are already public and the judgments already issued against him, it seems perilously clear he does not belong in Congress, and possibly not around other people at all. He retains the total and complete endorsement of Donald Trump. Mills represents an R+5 district, and is likely to face Bale Dalton, a Navy captain and former NASA chief of staff in November. 🗳️ We can sign up to volunteer for Bale here and find him on social media here and here. 🗳️

UNSEAT CORY MILLS

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) is under an Ethics Committee investigation as well over accusations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, although his is still in an early stage. There have been allegations that he had an affair with a then-staffer, in direct violation of House rules, and that he singled out two young, female staffers for inappropriate attention. Edwards also represents an R+5 district and was a DCCC target long before this news broke. His Democratic opponent will be fourth-generation farmer Jamie Ager. 🗳️ We can sign up to volunteer for Jamie here and follow him on social media here. **🗳**️

UNSEAT CHUCK EDWARDS

Mills and Edwards have at least earned their fair share of coverage about their misdeeds. As Mike Nellis has noted, there’s been an oddly muted reaction to Rep. Max Miller (R-OH)’s ex-wife accusing him of physical abuse, including throwing boiling water at her and attacking her in front of their two-year-old child. This is not the first claim of violence by Miller, either. Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham has also stated he abused her while he was a White House aide. Miller represents an R+5 district that could be vulnerable in a wave year. 🗳️ Let’s show some support for Brian Poindexter, the city councilman and union ironworker who won the Democratic nomination to take him on. We can sign up to volunteer here and find his social media to boost here. 🗳️

UNSEAT BRIAN POINDEXTER

Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) is not accused of violence against women. She instead endorsed racist comments directed at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries during a radio interview, sparking well-deserved calls for her resignation. Kiggans was probably the most vulnerable member on this list already, representing a district Trump won by 0.2% in 2024 and widely seen as a toss-up. Her likely opponent is her predecessor, former congresswoman Elaine Luria. 🗳️ We can find Rep. Luria’s social media here and here and sign up for updates on volunteer opportunities here. 🗳️

UNSEAT JEN KIGGANS

Yesterday, Vice-President J.D. Vance popped his head up to announce the White House would be holding hostage $1.3 billion in Medicaid funding for California. This is ostensibly part of their “anti-fraud” campaign, but Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services chief Dr. Mehmet Oz declined to offer actual examples of documented fraud, and did complain that California was being insufficiently cooperative with them. This continues a long pattern of threatened or actual withholding of funds for crucial services in blue states.

We’re being bullied, and we need to be prepared to fight back. Aggressive and creative state legislators have proposed means to do so, using standard debt-collection methods to get money owed by a deadbeat – authorizing the state to withhold payments to the federal government if they’re found to have illegally taken funds or place liens on non-essential federal properties. It’s time to start putting some of these ideas into practice. 🗣️ Let’s reach out to our legislators and governors and ask them to push bills like these in our states. We can find call scripts and language here or send this message to our lawmakers via Resistbot by texting SIGN PTIVXU to 50409. 🗣️
