Follow the Money
In the Congressional Record of Jul 20, 2026.
Text in the Record
(Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. BYNUM. Shh. Mr. Speaker, it has been really quiet in this Chamber about who is profiting from the Presidency. While Americans struggle to pay for gas and groceries, our President Trump is making billions. His media company wants Wall Street to pay $10,000 for early access to his Truth Social posts. Now, this says to me that the President is saying: Pay me, and I will help you trade on insider information. Wall Street eats, and we get the bill. Now we are seeing reports of a growing market where people like rapper Lil Boosie pay those claiming that they have access to Presidential pardons. That is not how public service should work. We cannot stay quiet while power is being treated like a product for sale. Shh. Congress has a responsibility to follow the money, demand transparency, and remind this administration that public service is about serving the people and not their pocketbooks.
