Why does it have to be like this?

Throngs of UFC fans have descended on the nation's capital for an unusual fight night at the White House. The Sunday night event is marking both America’s 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday. Fans from as far away as Australia are in Washington for the spectacle. Polling shows UFC fans skew male and nonwhite, with more identifying as Republicans, but the crowd near the Lincoln Memorial for a news conference with the fights on Friday night was diverse. Trump has billed this weekend as “the greatest show on earth.” A watchdog group tried to stop it with a lawsuit and says the event is a corrupt use of national monuments.

Pete Hegseth isn’t facing impeachment over a single mistake — he’s facing it over a growing pattern of lawlessness that lawmakers say puts lives at risk and ignores the Constitution. Democrats in Congress just introduced multiple articles of impeachment outlining a range of serious allegations. Taken together, they paint a picture of a Defense Secretary who authorized military action without congressional approval, obstructed oversight by refusing to fully cooperate with lawmakers, and violated both domestic and international legal standards in the conduct of war. Tell Congress: Launch a full investigation and move forward with impeachment proceedings against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. At the center of the crisis is the escalating conflict with Iran. Lawmakers argue that Hegseth helped carry out or oversee military actions without proper authorization — a direct challenge to Congress’s constitutional role. Reports tied to the impeachment effort include a deadly strike that allegedly hit a school and killed civilians. When decisions at the highest levels lead to the deaths of innocent people, accountability cannot be optional. If Congress fails to act, it sends a dangerous message: that a Defense Secretary can bypass Congress, evade oversight, and involve the United States in deadly conflict without consequences. Add your name to our petition and demand accountability for Pete Hegseth now. The petition to Congress reads: “Impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for abuses of power, unauthorized military action, obstruction of congressional oversight, and failure to uphold his constitutional duties. Launch a full investigation, hold public hearings, and take immediate steps to ensure accountability.”

Donald Trump is trying to turn the federal government into his personal ATM — and Congress must stop him. Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization are suing the IRS and Treasury Department for at least $10 billion over the leak of his tax records. But now the agencies that should be defending taxpayers are reportedly discussing a settlement with the president who controls them. That is a staggering conflict of interest. Trump is effectively suing his own administration, and any payout would come from the American people. Even worse, reports indicate officials may also consider ending audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses as part of a deal. Senator Elizabeth Warren said it plainly: “The President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money. Congress must stop him.” Tell Congress: Block any taxpayer-funded settlement with Trump, investigate this corrupt conflict of interest, and pass legislation to stop presidents from cashing in on lawsuits against the government they control. No president should be allowed to direct federal agencies on one side of a case while personally profiting on the other. If Trump can pressure his own Justice Department and Treasury Department into handing him billions, it would set a dangerous precedent for every future president who wants to raid the Treasury for personal gain. Congress cannot let this become another Trump shakedown. Lawmakers must move immediately to expose who is negotiating this settlement, whether Trump or his allies are influencing the process, and whether taxpayers are being asked to bankroll the president’s personal grievance. Add your name now and demand Congress stop Trump from stealing $10 billion from taxpayers. The petition to Congress reads: "Block any taxpayer-funded settlement with Donald Trump, his family, or the Trump Organization in their $10 billion IRS lawsuit. Investigate any coordination between Trump, the Department of Justice, the Treasury Department, and the IRS, and pass legislation to prevent presidents from using the federal government to enrich themselves."
