Corruption Calendar
Welcome!
We’re excited to introduce the Corruption Calendar, a new weekly newsletter project.
Our goal is simple: to chronicle the Trump favor machine by highlighting examples of corporate corruption shaping the Trump administration’s agenda and their material impact on everyday people. The Corruption Calendar will trace the lines of money and influence between corporations, billionaires, and executive branch decision making.
We want to underscore the felt impacts of this corruption in our everyday lives. Shady dealings between the wealthy and powerful and members of the federal government range from brazen to more secretive, but they influence the air we breathe, the water we drink, the price of housing and other necessities, and far more. We believe it is critical to provide the public with the knowledge to make direct connections between Trumpworld corruption and their daily lives. The Calendar’s weekly installments will serve as a record of the myriad ways Trumpworld abuses of government power are designed to enrich the few at the expense of many.
Each week, we’ll send out a Friday morning Corruption Calendar installment, with a weekly theme and relevant examples. We encourage our collaborators and followers to send salient examples our way and to be in dialogue about relevant instances of corruption you’re tracking, as we expect they’ll be numerous. Reach us via email at [email protected] with the subject “CORRUPTION CALENDAR,” or on X or Bluesky.
