House Democrat forces #Trump #impeachment vote over #ICE
by Cami Mondeaux, September 14, 2026
Excerpt: "The House could consider an #ArticleOfImpeachment targeting President #DonaldTrump this week, accusing the president of abusing his executive power after the killings of #USCitizens at the hands of federal immigration officers earlier this year.
"Democratic Rep. #AlGreen of Texas on Monday introduced a privileged resolution accusing Trump of #HighCrimesAndMisdemeanors, using a procedural tool forcing #HouseGOP leaders to schedule a vote on the article of impeachment within two legislative days. It’s not yet clear when that vote could be scheduled, and GOP leaders could seek to table the motion or refer it to a committee of jurisdiction, essentially killing the motion without a formal vote.
" 'The President is reducing American democracy to an #AuthoritarianRegime,' Green said in a floor speech on Monday. 'President Trump, using the powers of his high office, individually and in coordination with officers in his administration, has transformed ICE and #CBP into dangerous, unaccountable #paramilitary police forces that operate without oversight and pose a direct threat to the #constitutional order of the United States and the people of the United States. By such abuses of power, President Trump is brazenly and wantonly devolving the United States democratic republic into an authoritarian regime.'
"Green listed four crimes he believes Trump is guilty of after activating #BorderPatrol agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during #OperationMetroSurge, a mission designed to apprehend undocumented immigrants and deport them.
"The Texas Democrat accused Trump of enabling ICE and Border Patrol to carry out 'unjustified killings'; allowing agents to 'operate with anonymity,' referring to face masks worn by officers; undermining the #FirstAmendment and #FreeSpeech; and skirting judicial oversight.
"Green specifically cited the deaths of four U.S. citizens who were killed by immigration officers during that operation, including #AlexPretti and #ReneeGood, who were killed in separate instances in Minneapolis after altercations with officers."

A Wedding Gift for the President’s Son Raises Ethical Concerns
A Russian businessman with ties to the #Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for a wedding after-party in the Bahamas for #DonaldTrumpJr.
By Ben Protess, Sept. 14, 2026
Excerpt: "A Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to help finance Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding after-party in the Bahamas this year, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The payments represented an extraordinary flouting of ethical norms for an American president’s family.
"To avoid foreign influence, a president’s family is generally expected to steer clear of these sorts of personal and pricey gifts, particularly from someone in a country like #Russia, an adversary known to surreptitiously push its geopolitical agenda. The concern, ethics experts say, is that a foreign actor could ply a president’s family member with gifts and eventually expect something in return.
"Mr. Trump, the president’s eldest son, accepted the gifts from #UmarKremlev, the president of the #InternationalBoxingAssociation, according to the people with knowledge of the matter. The payments, reported earlier by ProPublica, included the cost of renting a private island and a fireworks display.
"Mr. Kremlev reportedly stood out at the after-party. Some of Mr. Trump’s guests questioned who he was and why he was there, according to one of the people with knowledge of the matter.
"After ProPublica reported on Mr. Kremlev’s payments, Mr. Trump and his new wife, Bettina Trump, posted a statement to Instagram acknowledging the gifts."

#Texas and #Georgia races show voters are finally sick of #MAGA corruption
#JonOssoff and #JamesTalarico are polling well with a #CleanGovernment message
By Amanda Marcotte, August 31, 2026
"What’s getting attention, however, is not bland, consultant-approved talk about the price of groceries. Ossoff has aggressively targeted Trump on the one issue pundits had long assumed voters no longer care about: corruption. He calls the president a 'crook,' describes his cronies as the #MarALargoMafia and bashes the White House as 'the most corrupt administration of all time.' "

#JayME #datacenter developer sought to give Janet Mills ‘cover’ for key veto, emails show
Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills “cover” for her veto of a statewide #DataCenterBan.
By Daniel O'Connor
Published on: July 6, 2026"Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills 'cover' for her veto of a statewide data center ban.
"Gov. Janet Mills’ office worked closely with the developer behind a stalled Jay data center project who solicited local letters of support that would give her 'cover' to veto a statewide data center ban, according to emails obtained by the Bangor Daily News.
"The April veto killed what would have been the first statewide ban on new data centers in the country that would have lasted until late 2027, a politically risky move for Mills that came days before she ended her Democratic U.S. Senate primary. Her office had been laying the groundwork to protect the Jay project for weeks before she announced the decision.
"Emails obtained in a public records request from the town of Jay show Mills had concerns about the ban’s effect on the project since at least late March, more than a month before she killed the measure. The project her veto was meant to protect has since stalled anyway, with its would-be operator pulling out in June and prompting criticism of Mills from progressive backers of the ban.
"#TonyMcDonald, a real estate developer with the Portland-based #BoulosCompany leading the project, solicited support for the veto from Jay officials and, later, a labor union with a stake in the project. The emails show that Mills had doubts about the bill over the Jay project since at least late March, more than a month before she ultimately killed it."

#Trump to #BigOil Execs: Give Me $1 Billion and I’ll Help You Wreck the Planet
“You won’t read a more important story today,” said one commentator. “Trump is willing to literally destroy the planet for $1 billion.”
Jake Johnson
May 09, 2024"Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made a straightforward offer to some of the top fossil fuel executives in the United States during a dinner at his #MarALago club last month, which marked the hottest April on record.
According to new reporting, Trump pledged to swiftly gut climate regulations put in place by the Biden administration if the oil and gas industry raises $1 billion for his 2024 presidential campaign.
The “remarkably blunt and transactional pitch,” reported by The Washington Post, was Trump’s latest explicit statement of his intention to give the fossil fuel industry free rein to wreck the planet if he wins a second term in power. Executives from #Exxon, #Chevron, #OccidentalPetroleum, and other prominent fossil fuel companies reportedly attended the Mar-a-Lago dinner.
Late last year, Trump said he would be a dictator on the first day of his second term, vowing to use his executive authority to “close the border” and “drill, drill, drill” for the fossil fuels that are driving global temperatures to catastrophic extremes and imperiling hopes for a livable future.
The Post reported Thursday that Trump said a $1 billion investment in his run against Democratic President Joe Biden would be a “deal” for Big Oil “because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him.”
“The contrast between the two candidates on climate policy could not be more stark,” the Post noted. “Biden has called #GlobalWarming an ‘existential threat’ and over the last three years, his administration has finalized 100 new #environmental regulations aimed at cutting #AirPollution and #GreenhouseGas emissions, restricting toxic chemicals, and conserving public lands and waters. In comparison, Trump has called #ClimateChange a ‘hoax,’ and his administration weakened or wiped out more than 125 environmental rules and policies over four years.”
Will Bunch, a columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote in response to the Post‘s reporting that “you won’t read a more important story today.”
“Trump is willing to literally destroy the planet for $1 billion,” Bunch added. "

#LiberalElites Kicked the Door Wide Open for #Trump’s Flagrant #Corruption
The president’s corruption is audaciously out in the open, but decades of letting the wealthy play by their own rules enabled him.
Dylan Gyauch-Lewis
November 9 2025Excerpt: "Calls for Democrats to find their way back from the wilderness by forcefully rebuking #corporate influence and corruption, something we at the #RevolvingDoorProject have been urging as the cornerstone of progressive politics for years, are multiplying. Politicians, notably Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, both Democrats, are emerging as anti-corruption champions. To mount a real anti-corruption agenda, though, Democrats must go farther than just condemning the sundry glad-handing of Trump world. There is no appetite for going back to the halcyon days when everyone knew the legal code was merely a suggestion for corporate titans and the ultra-rich, even as they masqueraded as law-abiding citizens."
