House Democrats launch new anti-corruption caucus targeting Trump-era ethics concerns
(MS NOW) 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."
Schiff targets compensation fund for Trump allies with two measures
(The Hill) Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is expected to introduce two new pieces of legislation targeting payouts from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) new $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. One piece of legislation would block the DOJ from issuing payouts from the fund to President Trump, Vice President Vance, members of Congress, congressional staff, political appointees, senior executive branch employees, and presidential campaign employees, according to Semafor. The other bill aims to ban payouts from lawsuits filed by Trump and Vance retroactive to 2025, per the outlet.

Trump redistricting push suffers twin setbacks

'Scum': Trump attacks US states' efforts to regulate prediction markets
(The Guardian) Donald Trump wrote in a social media post on Tuesday it was “critically important” that the federal government retain control over the multibillion-dollar prediction market industry, as he cast a critical eye on state attempts to impose new restrictions. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should retain “exclusive authority” over prediction markets, Trump said. Prediction markets allow users to make speculative bets on the outcome of events. Their meteoric rise in recent years has attracted attention from state governments, who view trading on prediction markets as gambling by another name, which in many cases would subject the activity to state gaming laws.
