End Citizens United

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it.

A government shutdown.
Federal workers who don’t get paid.
A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.

Since 2018, @endcitizensunited.bsky.social has been one of Congressman Golden's biggest supporters. He’s a rare example of integrity because he can’t be bought by special interests or Big Money––and he’s the only chance Democrats have of winning this race.

The path to flipping the House in 2026 runs through ME-02.

We're reaffirming our commitment to stand with Rep. Golden, and make sure he gets reelected to continue the critical work he’s doing in office.

End Citizens United Fixing our democracy by getting big money out of politics and protecting the right to vote.

Whether it’s rejecting corporate PAC money, cracking down on dark money, or leading the fight to ban congressional stock trading––no one is more committed to rooting out corruption than Congressman Golden.

Here are the receipts:

🚨 We’re proud to endorse Congressman Jared Golden in the #ME02 primary! The only chance Democrats have to keep this seat blue is to make sure he’s our nominee in the general election. 🧵

There’s a simple way to get out of this shutdown. Republicans can roll back health care cuts so that health care is available and affordable for millions of people.

Pretty simple.

Elected but Not Seated, Grijalva Waits to Sign Epstein Petition

My constituents want me to get to work but House Republicans are more concerned about protecting the Epstein files.

The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

The Federal Election Commission's lack of quorum means campaign finance-related complaints and investigations are at a complete standstill.

Take a look at what ECU senior fellow and former FEC commissioner @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social had to say about it:

Corruption Watch: Prosecuting Enemies, Separating Families, Renovating a Ball Room While ‘Peasants’ Lose Healthcare, and More Donors to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott received roughly $950 million in state contracts during emergencies from 2020 to 2024

From the GOP's government shutdown, to political retribution through budget cuts, to corrupt deals for donors in Texas, a lot happened last week.

Catch up on the latest corruption and democracy news here:

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Hmmm... weird.

Working around the clock?

You just gave the Republican House Conference yet another week off during a government shutdown.

Congressional Republicans own the government shutdown.

They would rather see millions of Americans lose healthcare and face higher insurance premiums so their billionaire donors get a tax cut.

That's what corruption looks like, not real leadership.

America is barreling toward a health care disaster.

Trump and Republicans shut the government down to rip out the brakes:
❌ 15 million lose coverage
⬆️ 20 million see premiums spike
💸 Families pay $10,000+ more a year

All to give billionaires tax cuts.

It’s day 6 of the government shutdown.

Republicans still won’t come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care.

Project 2025 was always Trump’s plan. Now, he’s using the Republican Shutdown to implement it even faster.

He wants to become king. We won’t stand for it.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

This would impact millions of Americans who don’t have a passport and the 69 million married women who changed their last names.

Stand up for our democracy by telling the EAC you're against putting up more barriers to the ballot box.

Requiring Americans to show a passport when registering to vote was a bad idea when Congress tried to do it with the SAVE Act and would block millions of Americans from voting.

Right-wing MAGA groups are flooding the Election Assistance Commission with comments in support of a “show-your-papers” requirement for voter registration. 🧵

"One of the reasons why Republicans are so willing to shut down the government in order to protect their healthcare cuts is because they need to pay off their billionaire donors." - Congresswoman Sarah McBride

The shutdown fight is about your healthcare.

Here are the facts about this healthcare fight, and we will and must win it. 🧵

Corruption Watch: Prosecuting Enemies, Separating Families, Renovating a Ball Room While ‘Peasants’ Lose Healthcare, and More Donors to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott received roughly $950 million in state contracts during emergencies from 2020 to 2024

The healthcare industry spent $752 million lobbying in 2024, which comes as no surprise given that Republicans want to cut subsidies for ACA health insurance premiums.

Read the latest Corruption Watch for more:

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium.

Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000.

I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.

The most corrupt administration in history is leading a concerted effort to facilitate corruption and protect bad actors.

Corporate America’s Most Wanted The Trump administration asked corporations to identify regulatory “burdens” — now they’re building a hit list of their most hated consumer protection laws.

Corrupt Trump is asking his corporate donors for their wish lists of consumer protection laws to kill.

It's exactly why we need to Unrig Washington and ban corporate PACs from meddling in our elections.

I'm joining @endcitizensunited.bsky.social’s Unrig Washington Campaign: a bold, public commitment to clean up Congress. I'm leading by example by refusing corporate PAC money, supporting a stock trading ban, and cracking down on dark money. #ecuunrigwashington

Many thanks to The Gazette for highlighting my commitment and leadership on anti-corruption and campaign finance reform.

@endcitizensunited.bsky.social

Republicans are mistaken if they think Democrats will let them pass a budget that screws over working Americans and makes healthcare unaffordable.

Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congressional Democrats are standing firm on behalf of the American people.
