[link removed] [[link removed]] John,

Today marks one month since Donald Trump began his second term as president.

It’s been thirty one days of chaos, conflicts of interest and lawbreaking. Thirty-one days of Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies moving fast and breaking things (in this case, the law, the Constitution and crucial government agencies), hoping that the American people will be so overwhelmed that they’ll simply tune them out.

So just to review what Trump has spent the last month doing:

* He illegally fired 18 inspectors general, who worked in federal agencies to catch fraud, corruption and wrongdoing in the government.
* He paused the disbursement, probably illegally, of federal funds authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
* He illegally tried to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional right, by executive order.
* He is trying to illegally reclassify non-partisan federal employees, apparently in order to fire them and replace them with political loyalists.
* His Justice Department has fired dozens of career prosecutors and FBI agents, while also creating a new working group to probe officials who investigated his crimes.
* He gave Elon Musk and DOGE virtually unlimited access to sensitive information and allowed them to offer a potentially illegal “buyout offer” to 2.3 million federal employees.

Unfortunately for Donald Trump, CREW refuses to give up the fight to hold him accountable.

But Donald Trump isn’t the only one who’s been busy during the last month. Here at CREW, we’ve been working hard to track his lawbreaking and hold him accountable.

Here’s what CREW has been doing:

* We, alongside Democracy Forward, are suing the administration on behalf of federal employees to prevent Donald Trump from reclassifying career civil servants as political appointees.
* We’re suing DOGE to force transparency around DOGE’s staff and actions.
* We testified to Congress about the threat to Americans created by Trump’s firing of inspectors general.
* We filed 65 Freedom of Information Act requests for information about DOGE’s conduct during the transition and since Trump’s inauguration.
* We’ve broken big stories about Trump conflicts of interest, like the Swiss National Bank investment in Truth Social—and we’re tracking all the conflicts that are sure to come next.
* And that’s just the start. We’ve got other major actions in the works and will keep responding to new outrages.

John, by making a donation today you’ll be giving CREW the support we need to continue our work. That means more investigations, more filings for information and more legal action.
