Washington is Being Run like a Mafia. Tell Congress to Ensure Accountability.

When the investigators get fired, someone else needs to follow the money.

Corruption isn't new. What's new is how it's operating. Today, it looks a lot like a mafia that is rewarding insiders, intimidating those who cross it, and rigging the system to avoid accountability.

Congress is the one institution left with the power to follow the evidence...if they have the courage to act.

In just the latest example, Bloomberg reports that billions of dollars in bets that oil prices would fall were placed 15 minutes before President Trump announced a policy change that sent prices down, sparking concerns about insider trading. But when analysts at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) flagged the trades and referred the case to its Division of Enforcement, a senior advisor to the Trump-appointed chairman ordered the market oversight team to retract the referral.

A Pattern, Not an Accident

Congress should investigate the broader pattern:

Self-dealing. Companies backed by Trump's sons have landed $3.2 billion in Pentagon awards, according to the Washington Post, and a $620 million loan to a startup three months after Trump Jr.'s firm invested.
Rigging the rules. Administration insiders are profiting from crypto, prediction markets, and AI while the administration rewrites the rules for those industries. AI czar David Sacks reportedly kept stakes in 449 AI companies while in office.
Selling decisions. The administration approved advanced AI chip exports to the UAE, which the U.S. had previously refused, shortly after a UAE official invested in the Trump family's crypto venture.

Concern About Corruption Isn't Partisan. Accountability Shouldn't Be, Either.

89% of U.S. adults believe government corruption is widespread, according to a recent Gallup poll — a 20-year high.

We all deserve a government that cannot be bought.

Investigations are the first step. They build the record that can lead to charges, canceled contracts, and recovered taxpayer funds, and send the message to accomplices that they won't get away with it.

But Congress needs sustained pressure from Americans to follow through.

Tell Congress: Investigate corruption, ensure accountability.

Send a Letter to Your Representatives

To My Member of Congress:

What's happening in Washington right now isn't a string of isolated scandals. There is evidence that insiders are getting rich off taxpayer dollars, writing rules to benefit their own investments, and selling government decisions, while the investigators who could stop them have been removed or co-opted.

Officials who abuse public office should face real consequences. I urge you to use the full authority of your office to:

Investigate reported self-dealing and nepotism by the president, cabinet members, and other senior executive branch officials or advisors. This should include a deep review of Defense Department contracts and loans to companies tied to the president's family.
Investigate to what extent officials' personal investments in crypto, AI, and prediction markets may have shaped the decisions they made on regulatory issues.
Investigate apparent "pay-to-play" schemes. These should include, among others, the UAE chip export approval after a senior UAE official invested in the president's family's crypto company.
Investigate the apparent dismantling or co-opting of crucial law enforcement and regulatory agencies and units, such as the Justice Department and FBI's anti-corruption units, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and inspectors general, and use your budgetary and confirmation authority to the maximum extent possible to restore their independence.
Reform gaps and weaknesses in our laws to ensure this level of corruption never happens again.

Corruption costs taxpayers money, puts our security and wellbeing at risk, and costs Americans our trust in government. It is not a partisan issue.

Your constituents are watching, and we are counting on you to make sure public office is not used for profit or for sale.

Sincerely,
