Sen. Chris Murphy outlines '500 Days' of Trump's corruption on Senate floor
Sen. Chris Murphy delivered a Senate-floor presentation titled "This Is What 500 Days of Trump's Corruption Looks Like," laying out a day-by-day account of conduct during President Trump’s first 500 days of his second term. Murphy methodically cited examples including pardons, federal-contract awards, personnel shifts, and financial arrangements that he said produced direct benefits for allies, donors, and the president. He framed those incidents as a connected pattern of self-dealing and erosion of democratic norms, urging senators and the public to treat the episodes as a unified national corruption crisis that requires oversight and accountability.
Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵
Chris Murphy1136DATE OF CORRUPTION: April 7, 2025 Donald Trump, one of the biggest crypto players in the world, declares we will no longer be enforcing our laws against the crypto industry. Active fraud investigations are shut down. The entire crypto enforcement team at DOJ is fired.
TheCatMan128Thank you Senator Murphy. Sincerely. Everyone must watch the entire thread. Thank God someone has actually done something to publicly document this ongoing corruption.
Susan Jagoda84Impeach and remove. Vote only for democrats in November. The tRump mob operation must be removed from office. Accountability is coming for those who have committed crimes and abused power.
Jim of Pennsyltucky62The closest analogy to electing Donald Trump President is Chicago electing Al Capone mayor. Trump owns judges. He has his mob, the Republican Congress. And he has his enforcers, ICE.
It's perplexing that the populace are so utterly passive in the face of their country being raped by the top 1%. In any other country they'd have rolled out the guillotines years ago.
Brown Eyed Susan25Republicans can't grasp why they're not winning
Chris⚖️Justice21⚖️ 🧐 Excellent work. Thanks for keep track & people informed. I hope you have one of these from the first term too. Critical part of our history now. With or without Justice.
jaycmartin35.bsky.social19Important work, Senator. Please state all of it for the record for when sanity returns.
Nadine15Trump, his crime family and his sycophants are robbing WE the People blind! Stealing from us everywhere they can! Served my Country in the Army than retired from DoD! Now living my golden social security years after I served this country for 46 years SCARED AF for my future! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
Bestemor14This is how he operates
Sane English14Thank you for doing this. "Corruption" is an antiseptic word. They are looting, stealing, sabotaging, taking bribes, selling favors, pardoning cronies.
TavitD14It is an insult to every American not part of this corruption scheme that he hasn't been impeached and his conspirators aren't in prison.
Dan 🇨🇦13This is the full video of Chris Murphy's 500 Days of Corruption. It really is mind blowing and seriously frightening. Sadly, it won't be televised or in print & the Senate appears to be empty (why, what's w. the US gov't?), so it's as if he's shouting into the void. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaQ_...
Jake12For the records all in 1 place. www.ImpeachConvictRemove47.com Will work.
Catherine11Meanwhile the Republicans are orchestrating an insurrection! bsky.app/profile/acco...
kenofseattle10A 24x7 corruption operation. That is dead on!
ELIZE9That's some serious guts, Chris. The public needs to know the truth, and it's people like you who make that happen.
Kimba7Awesome thread hope everyone watches and reposts. 💙✌️
Old Man Dog7The public doesn't care Chris because none of this directly impacts the wallets. Democracy and capitalism necessarily can't coexist because money rules politics and not the people's will. Otherwise, we'd all have free housing, Healthcare and affordable food.
GET HIM OUT OF THERE CHRIS! No time for anything but the 25th Amendment!!
Gipper’s Gravespin6We’ll never regain our international reputation and trust of our allies unless ALL Trump era crimes are fully investigated and prosecuted And don’t let the family run off to Russia or Argentina or something, cage them up
Sal Caruso6Yet he’s still in office because of a fucked up Congress who won’t grow a pair of balls. So save the theatrics. We already know every single thing he has done corruptly!
Okay, so about that…5Thank you for laying out some of this Trump crime spree! Though I’d love to add in ballroom bribes, big law shake down for his own legal fees, piracy of VZ oil $$, self-dealing with his resorts, Qatari jet, his failure to put his assets in a trust and release his tax returns, suing for slush fund
Life and Liberty5Thank you for speaking out. The GOP has betrayed the American people and I can only pray they will be voted out come election day for their cowardice.
Chris M. Hughes, MD4We need to make it explicitly clear to Trump and all his toadies: he may pardon you but he can't pardon you from The Hague. Or from state crimes. And if that's what we're forced to do to get justice, that's what we're going to do.
Aunt Tifa - you have friends everywhere4did anyone in there even give a shit? cause not hearing much from dems
Magrag4Apparently the MAGA cult is just fine with the corruption as long as people of color are being deported and transgenders have no bathrooms.
gwchilly.bsky.social4Corruption on the scale we are seeing from Trump and the Republican Party is the rocket fuel of a vicious and bloody dictatorship.
GoldtopMandolin 🚎3You should organize and promote a nation wide, 24/7/365 general strike until the regime is forced to relinquish control. Why haven't you or any of your ilk done this? Tell us.
mjayne01.bsky.social3If this continues & Republicans don't stop DonOld, there will be a national boycott to not pay federal taxes for 2027. No $, no nonsense!
The Southern Dad3Impeachment is the only fiscally responsible thing to do
kvconner.bsky.social3OMG A never-ending story from April 1015 on and on and on list all in one place
John Holland3This is Republican corruption. They’re all going along with it.
Janis💙🦋🇺🇦🇵🇹🇨🇦3U go Chris, tell the damn story
Captanne3I read tons of literature including the LRB, the NYRB, Atlantic, Mother Jones, the New Yorker, Foreign Affairs, Rolling Stone, National Guard, NYT, Boston Globe, Detroit Freep….all the writers mention at some point the corruption of this Executive Branch. Phenomenal corruption.
Psheltona 🖖🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱🇪🇺📚⚽️@psheltona.bsky.social3Thank you for highlighting all this. I have hope for the future because of you and others that are fighting this regime 💙🖖🏻
mikehallden.bsky.social3Remember when he said he was going to “drain the swamp?” Well, now he will literally and figuratively have to do it! Of course he created the swamp, but who's counting…! 🤔 😅 😉
SD Stalzer3This is a small percentage of it. Every single time an announcement was made about the Iran war, huge bets were made minutes before betting on the direction of the price of oil.
Good Trouble3💯🎯👏🏻 The WH will also become a place for someone to avoid prison.
Betty3He needs to be impeached or 25th. The time is ripe for lame duck Repubs to join you He's fleecing us blind Desecrated all our landmarks Hes fabricating criminal charges on citizens, framing them for his ineptitude&failures Bldg concentration camps for political opponents Plotting to steal election
OBG3Will you put them in prison when/if you take back Congress?
mlco.bsky.social3But the real problem is transgender kids.... So american morality tolerates theft and corruption but doesn't tolerate individual identity freedoms The debate has to focus on individual responsibility and equal human rights Corruption violates those
Voice4Justice3Just a typical day at #TrumpSwamp
jbbuz.bsky.social3Thank you, Senator Murphy. Please continue to give floor speeches like this calling out the administration's firing of 17 Inspectors General to remove oversight, holding stock in companies receiving gov't contracts, and self-enrichment at the expense of national security and American taxpayers.
Save giraffe3Thank goodness you are in there fighting for us!
fijnweer.bsky.social2And the Epstein Files. Just saying.
JustSayin2TRUMP IS NOT EVEN OUR PRESIDENT - ELON MUSK HACKED OUR ELECTION WITH TRUMPS BLESSINGS- WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE. JUST BECAUSE THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT DOES NOT MAKE TRUMP A LEGITIMATE U.S. PRESIDENT - IT MAKES THEM BOTH CRIMINALS FOR ELECTION CRIMES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
yellowlimo.bsky.social2Sheesh! That is a lot of corruption!
Joanne in Boston2We must remove this insane criminal from office before there is nothing left to save…
saganleft2soon.bsky.social2Most of Trumps's net worth increase in 1st year of this term came from crypto. So figure a $3 to $4 Billion increase in his net worth. That's averages over $9 million per DAY. Per DAY. Most of us will not accumulate $9 million in our lifetime.
John Novio2This is great ! Point out every crime he commits. The only thing that bothers me is the room/chamber appears to be empty behind. It always seems great things don't happen with an audience.
I hate bullies (love my dog)2Impressive but i still think this is only the tip of the iceberg
Denisovian2When will they start reading from the Epstein files as Massey promised ?
Kris2Here's more corruption from this regime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch1w...
Minutello2I just want him in prison.
mr nobody2Congress was supposed to protect us from this. Our congress is too corrupt to protect us from anything.
Dan 🇨🇦2Chris, Please put these in a printable list to share on social media & send to news organizations that will print them; perhaps @theguardian.com @ms.now @aljazeera.com @apnews.com @npr.org @newsweek.com @the-independent.com @nymag.com @citizensforethics.org ... Reach as many as you can, we'll help
spinnvin.bsky.social2It is so amazing how there can be anyone who thinks this ok. Or even worse acts like there is nothing going on
Karen S Wilcox, PhD (she/her)2may we have that chart please? solid work Senator!
mscarolefleck.bsky.social2Keep it going, Sen. Murphy
CCDude8 🏳️🌈 🌊2All you Dems do is flap your gums. That's why nobody gives a single fuck what you say. DO SOMETHING.
jp2I do believe it's pitchforks and torches time.
Earth care. People care. Fair share. Saving the planet together2This was incredible to watch -- Murphy exposes this regime in a series of their daily flagrant violations of the Constitution with many culpable participants. The next wave of Congressional members MUST focus on accountability.
One of the great dangers we face as a nation is normopathy—the human tendency to reframe whatever happens as just an extension of normal life rather than a radical break. On the floor of the Senate, Chris Murphy recently said America is in a "1-of-1" situation; he's right. But many won't accept it.
Seth Abramson134I've been finding myself getting angrier and angrier—and allowing myself to get angrier and angrier—in what I see now is a benighted hope it'll translate to others and we'll finally understand that America's in an unprecedented situation. The reality—it just causes folks to wonder what's up with me.
Jez D yeah you know me3I'd not heard that phrase but in the UK I've been really annoyed at the way the far right and the ultra right are being referred to as 'the right'. They are not. And what they say and call for is fascist, authoritarian bullshit. I feel the reason the media is complicit is simply more rage clicks.
