Senate Democrats have introduced legislation that would let ordinary citizens and state attorneys general sue a president for money obtained through corruption.
Senator Alex Padilla and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer unveiled the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act on 30 July 2026 at a Public Citizen forum in Washington.
The bill would create the first independent federal agency dedicated to policing corruption across the executive branch. Its sponsors describe it as a direct answer to what they call the unprecedented self-dealing of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Maybe? You might think a global pedophile conspiracy with connections to top government officials around the world would set it off. Or the fact that people implicated in that global pedophile conspiracy keep conveniently dying. Or the fact that one of the central players in said conspiracy is now the president of the US, and has surrounded himself with government paid lawyers and politicians, in a so-far-successful bid to insulate himself and other billionaires from legal trouble associated with raping children.
But maybe there will be another spark who knows?
