CREW fights for the democracy Americans deserve and aims to build a government that is accountable, transparent and ethical.

Elon Musk spent $290 million to help elect Trump and Republicans in 2024. This cycle, he's spent $442 million to boost Republicans. Anyone else think it's appalling that the richest person in the world is allowed to dump over $730 million into our elections?

American oil companies have made $130 BILLION in profit during Trump's war of choice with Iran. That means Trump's own stock portfolio is booming: He holds up to $81 million in American Big Oil stocks. That's roughly double what they were worth at the end of 2025.

Amy Gleason became DOGE's acting administrator in February 2025. An under-the-radar division of HSS is hit by DOGE-led layoffs. And then, less than three months later, Gleason’s husband gets a job at this division. Sounds like a problem, doesn’t it? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

How many scandalous activities can Don Jr. get up to in just one hunting trip? Well, a lot it appears. One of them happened to be with Safari Club International, which auctioned off a hunting trip with him. Buying access to power is always an ethics concern.

ICYMI: This week @ChrisVanHollen and @RepRobertGarcia introduced a bill to close the loophole that allows donors benefitting from federal contracts to pour obscene amounts of campaign contributions into elections. Good! This should become law. oversightdemocrats.house.gov…

Hey, remember how Trump sued the government that HE RUNS for $10 billion? And then "settled" by making a deal with his own DOJ to create a slush fund for his allies and with IRS to shut down any audits of him and his family? The audits thing is still in effect, by the way... 👻

"The last time American oligarchs were this brazen was at the end of the 19th century." There's a good reason Americans are united (89%, to be specific) in identifying corruption as a widespread issue facing the country. nytimes.com/2026/10/30/opini…

The FBI gave a no-bid contract to a company that manages the rooftops of several Trump properties to install video surveillance antennas on Trump towers in New York. Add this to the list of ways Trump is profiting from the government. washingtonsun.com/legal/fbi-…

The president can't just mobilize the National Guard at whim. We filed an amicus brief saying so. A federal appeals court just, ruling this week that Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA was illegal.

Trump admin officials have been posting on social media in support of candidates, speaking at rallies while blurring the lines with their official duties and attacking candidates for office on the news. We're monitoring the *many* legal violations. citizensforethics.org/legal-…

The Trump admin has announced 43 deals involving stock ownership or warrants since the start of Trump's second term. The $30 billion spending spree will give the government stakes in chip firms, mining and mineral companies, and quantum firms. wsj.com/finance/investing/se…
