Trump’s DOD Agrees with Warren: Holding Contractors Accountable Is Vital for National Security
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Quote of the Day
“And so you have to ask: Who benefits from his rhetoric, his policies, his actions, and the short list of laws he’s pushed through this Republican Congress? Somebody must be benefitting. He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the cover-up of the Epstein files. The crypto scams. Cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms. Putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation’s capital. This is not what our founders envisioned. So, I’ll ask again: Is the President working for you? We all know the answer is no.”
