As lawmakers grow increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump’s planned $1.8 billion lawsuit settlement fund and his thousands of stock trades totaling hundreds of millions dollars, a trio of House Democrats is launching a new caucus aimed at fighting malfeasance in government.
The new End Corruption Caucus — details of which were shared first with MS NOW — is launching at the direction of Reps. Jason Crow, D-Col., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Mike Levin, D-Calif., spanning the party’s centrist to progressive wings.
“Corruption is poisoning our politics,” Crow said in a statement. “From the disastrous Citizens United decision, to the President using his office to enrich himself and his family, our democracy is buckling under the influence of billionaire donors and special interests.”
“We must take on corruption to lower prices, restore trust, and help working families,” Crow added.
The effort revives an older version of the anti-corruption caucus, which launched in 2020, but has been dormant for years.
So far, six House lawmakers — all Democrats — have joined the new coalition. Reps. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., and Chris Pappas, D-N.H., have also joined as inaugural members. No Republicans have joined.
In a letter outlining the caucus’ goals, Crow, Ocasio-Cortez and Levin said the group has five legislative priorities: ending the “influence” of dark money, corporate political action committees (PACs), and special interests in politics; “enforcing accountability” in government; ending the “revolving door” of individuals who exit government and become lobbyists; barring foreign interference in elections; and stopping government “weaponization.”

What a pathetic “performance” by the DIMs. I wonder if they will be investigating themselves...the most corrupt criminal fools EVER?
It’s a crime to expose and prosecute democrats crimes.
Power is their birthright. With power comes the absolute right to grift.
There’s such a thing as a centrist Dem??? Had me fooled 🤣🤣🤣
First thing they should do is resign from Congress ... they’re part of the problem.
One of two things will happen. They will do absolutely nothing, which is normal, or they will uncover their own corruption and shut it down.
It’s all just for a talking point. Do they not think Sleepy Joe’s weaponized DOJ has tried this?
EC
My only question is why “NGO” isn’t on the same list?

*********************************
And this is being led by.....democrats???!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
MAGA has nothing to hide. If the Democrats uncover real evidence of real crimes, rather than things like imaginary loan fraud, they’ll do us a favor.
House Democrats anti-corruption caucus. Isn’t that an oxy moron ?
House Democrats launch new anti-corruption caucus
LOL It’s like Al Capone buys police badge.
Isn’t this like the wolf guarding the hen house?
Probably never, I hate to say.
Annnnnnnd the first subject of investigation is AOC
Whose net worth miraculously cycled from $30 Million and a winery owned by her spouse and brother from $millions to Zero as no wine or bottles or winery of that name can be found.
Maybe the took lunch at the French Laundry.
They could take tea with Polonius.
“House Democrats launch new anti-corruption caucus ....”
Now THAT’s funny!!
Seeing a trend here. First they had their panties twisted over the White House ballroom project - covered by President Trump himself and private donors. Now they're upset over his receiving compensation for wrongful lawfare.
I think their socialist minds regard projects accomplished without taxpayer dollars as blasphemy - an insult to Bammy's proclamation "You didn't build that" when indeed we usually do without government help.
The worst thing for them is President Trump's using all that money to (partially) compensate the J-6ers who were kangarooed and wrongfully imprisoned. Many Republicans share that scorn with the Democrats, continuing to slander the protesters as domestic terrorists. Those Republicans need to be asking us if we want fries with that.
