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.

    That’s the tipping point, when the police and military stand aside.

    MAGA will not, but every successful revolution has the police and military mostly stand aside or join in.

    Until that happens, likely after the election, you should either bunker down or preferably get out and peacefully protest.
