Sherrill sworn in as NJ Governor, ICE Official Describes Agency Targets, SCOTUS Hears Case Involving Fired Fed Governor, and more.
Hi there,
It’s Wednesday. Yesterday, Mikie Sherrill was sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th governor, the Supreme Court heard arguments about Lisa Cook’s firing, and a top ICE official described who’s a fair target in a stunning new interview.
In addition, new analysis shows just how much Donald Trump and his family have enriched themselves off the presidency — the conservative estimate is currently $1.4 billion. This is not normal politics or routine conflict-of-interest noise; it is a pattern of corruption that strikes at the core of democratic accountability. When the press minimizes or compartmentalizes corruption, it deprives the public of a clear understanding of how power is being abused and who is benefiting from it.
🖊️ Add your name to call on news organizations to cover Trump’s self-enrichment plainly and persistently—naming conflicts of interest, following the money, and refusing to normalize corruption as background politics. Democracy cannot function when the misuse of public office for private profit is obscured or excused.
