Senator Adam Schiff strongly condemned what he termed President Trump’s egregious corruption, particularly highlighting his meme coin as the most corrupt presidential act in history. Schiff alleges the coin functions as a public solicitation of bribes, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in fees for Trump and his family through trading activity and exclusive access for investors. This, coupled with other lucrative deals involving foreign investments in Trump family businesses, paints a picture of widespread financial self-dealing. The senator emphasized the vast sums of money generated through these schemes, leaving the ultimate impact and response to Schiff’s claims uncertain.

This low fraud rate undermines narratives suggesting a need for drastic Social Security reforms and supports concerns that these measures are a pretext for benefit reductions. The resulting delays in benefit disbursement have drawn sharp criticism from senators such as Elizabeth Warren and Patty Murray.

A Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker, Senator David Argall, found himself in hot water after questioning a 12-year-old girl about pornography during a public event. The incident sparked outrage, particularly from the girl’s mother, who rightfully condemned Argall’s actions as wildly inappropriate.
