You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. Donald Trump is trying to do exactly that.    Welcome to Episode 15 of the Corruption Chronicles.    Trump is expected to drop his lawsuit against his own IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. In exchange, he wants a $1.7 billion slush fund to compensate people who claim the Biden Administration wrongfully targeted them — run by a commission he controls, operating entirely in secret, funded by your tax dollars.    Who’s in line to collect? Trump’s allies, the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with January 6th, and entities tied to Trump and his family.    This is corruption, and it has to stop.

It may be rare these days, but bipartisanship still exists in Washington, and this is what it looks like.    This week, we passed a large Military Construction and Veterans Affairs funding bill that delivers for our service members and our veterans in ways that matter.    It funds the Toxic Exposure Fund we fought to create through the PACT Act, honoring the promise we made to veterans who were exposed to toxic chemicals while they served. It also includes $2 million to implement my bipartisan CVSO Act, which will help connect veterans to the care and benefits they’ve already earned.      Out of 15.8 million veterans in this country, fewer than half are enrolled in VA health care. That is unacceptable, and this bill takes a real step toward changing it.    This bill may not be perfect. But it proves that even now, we can still put our service members and veterans over politics. That’s how this work is supposed to get done.

If JD Vance has real evidence of fraud, by all means, prosecute every last one of the fraudsters. Instead, he’s withholding $1.3 billion in Medi-Cal funding from California.    Prosecuting fraud and withholding care from vulnerable people are not the same thing, and one doesn’t require the other.    Cutting off this funding doesn’t save money, it shifts costs onto the most vulnerable people and the institutions that serve them.    The hypocrisy here is staggering. If this Administration was serious about fighting fraud, Donald Trump wouldn’t have pardoned a man who stole $1.3 billion from Medicare and Medicaid — the exact same amount now being withheld from California. The FBI called it the largest criminal health care fraud case ever brought against individuals, and Trump let him walk free.    This Administration isn't committed to fighting fraud. It’s committed to picking a fight with California, and our most vulnerable residents are the ones who will pay for it.  https://t.co/9MAljX1fkI

I am honored to represent a district that celebrates every member of our Armed Forces, including our Marines, Sailors, and their families on Camp Pendleton.    This #ArmedForcesDay, we honor those who serve our nation in uniform, both here at home and abroad. Our service members and their families are the heart and soul of our nation’s defense.  Words are not enough to express our country’s gratitude to those who have answered the call to serve, and I will never stop fighting for them.

Donald Trump bought and sold tens of millions of dollars in Microsoft and Amazon stock early this year while serving as president, missed the legal deadline to disclose it by months, and got fined $200...for the third time. Oh, and those are companies that are actively doing business with the government he runs.    A $200 fine is a parking ticket.     The President shouldn’t be trading individual stocks while in office, and neither should members of Congress. 81% of Americans agree, and there is no excuse for why this is still allowed.    We don’t just need bigger fines, we need a BAN.  https://t.co/pMu97UdDuj
