AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

#CitizensCongress ETHICS REFORM Proposed Update: All members of Congress are prohibited from buying or trading stocks/futures from the moment they are declared to have won their election until they are out of office. Capital gains accrued will be donated to an approved charity upon leaving office.
This insider trading is beyond the 'theater' actions and lies, stop the madness with whatever means possible. Censure, prosecute, DEPOSE like what's happening to our own Americans.
People's despair? Now aoc cares about billionaires? Only 8% of the population is invested in the stock market. Don't let these scum bag politicians left or right sell you that anyone other than the billionaire class lost money.
Right, and did they sell? No? They didn't lose anything. If you are investing in mutual funds and selling at the first sign of problems, you will lose money. If you are invested for the long term. Stuff like last week doesn't phase you. So the sell off was billionaire class losing money.
The minute AOC signs a book deal and makes money, the Right is going to call her a hypocrite - as if she was a communist-turned-sell-out. It’s their playbook. You heard it here first.
Yes, but what are the democrats DOING ABOUT IT?!
I feel all they do lately is bitch & moan, no ACTIONS are being taken. Heads should be rolling, asses should be handed!! Signal Chat, insider trading, humans being deported, this is NOT OK!
The thing is, they ARE acting, within the situation they have. Not all, but a number of them. They're trying to stop legislation in all the ways open to a party completely out of power. Several are meeting the people, speaking out. A lot is on OUR shoulders: MARCH! Contact reps/sens! Don't comply!
I most certainly will blame them.
They didn't get the votes, because they didn't do the work.
What they are doing now, townhall meetings & rallies, is what they should have been doing BEFORE the election. America has a cancer called MAGA, & it needs to be cured or educated, action of your choice.
I think we will find, in time, the key motive for Trump acolytes support of the tariff farce was purely for the stock market manipulation which enabled trillions of $ to be moved from the savings of working Americans to be the pockets of the oligarchs.
Listen I very much appreciate the tour. But sometimes I feel like we get way into the weeds with this. It sucks, it's gross, it's illegal. But how many small businesses want to hear about MTG making bank off of this right now. NOW we need to hear the plan for stopping deportations and tariffs for US
All of Congress, Cabinet, and President should be required to put their money in a blind trust and prohibited from the stock market while they are in office. They make the rules. Left or right, they make more from the ups and downs because they decide when they are coming.
#InsiderTrading
Except for the "stand by" part; I don't think that gets us anywhere but on the cattle cars. My hope is that these constant protests and marches will be the catalyst to critical mass.
MTG is a symptom of a completely ill government. The corruption of this regime is systemic. The rot begins at the top and has spread and been fertilized by a grotesque man.
I believe it is clear, thesimpsons didn’t predict Kamala, they predicted aoc. Lisa was 38 when she won. And takes place in 2030… aoc will be 39 during primaries.. just saying what the fuck Matt, use that time machine for good bro…
While I completely agree with here about Legislators and stock buying, my question to @aoc.bsky.social is, why haven't you authored a bill on this issue? It kills me when politicians (rightly) rail against an issue but then never even take the simple step to put forth a bill attempting to correct.
All I ask is that when the tide turns we don’t try to be the “better people”. We arrest and convict (using legit jurisprudence) for all of these illegal activities. And the law firms who lead the charge will be the ones who bent a knee. On their dime.
👏👏👏👏 This administration is so corrupt and immoral because they've been allowed to be. They know they can get away with grifting in plain sight. They are cocky and overconfident, and this will be their undoing.
That's the one thing that gives me hope. I was a WW2 kid growing up. I've always been fascinated by it. Every failed Nazi plot? The common denominator was their arrogance. Same with the Italians, same with the Japanese.
Hoping history repeats itself. I'm thinking General George Custer was another one of those cautionary tales. Oh for the days when there were consequences. Seems like now we are living in a world of Reverse Karma, where the worse trump and his supporters behave, the more they are rewarded.
She absolutely needs to be audited. Going from an estimated networth of $700K in 2020 to $22 million in 2025—*before* any alleged insider trading—is anything but normal. This wealth spike demands investigation, and the blatant signs of insider trading practically scream: Guilty As Hell!
We bought on the dip during Covid w/ the express intent to bolster our grandsons' college funds
We felt guilty about doing that.
As of today, we've lost a huge chunk of the gains--thank god we had the sense to sell enough early in this BS to retain most of the capital we'd invested, but so much lost
Guaranteed she's done it more than once--and gotten away with it.
She thinks she has a right to do it because she doesn't get paid enough as a rep.
She's independently rich, yet she still wants more than she's entitled to.
It’s called corporate greed which is an off shoot of capitalism & a free market that the right engineered in the first place to make money this way
It’s been worse since Reagan & Thatcher
Glad that El Salvador is building more prisons. There are a hellava lot of corrupt MAGA and GOP that will need a place to go when this shit show is stomped down. Actually maybe the US should use their own prisons. El Salvador may have use of their prisons for their own corrupt regime.
“Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
Louis D. Brandeis
I still say that Majorie Taylor Green should be drug through the streets of DC by her testicles from a Ford F-150 on fire with bald tires, put it on pay per view.
The executive branch is run by Trump and there is no extrajudicial police force to make him enforce anything. There’s no path to fix this barring action from the Supreme Court (run by Republicans) or significant pressure from the media (owned by Murdoch and his ilk). It’s a significant flaw!
It’s blatant market manipulation. We are way past a constitutional crisis. The United States government is dead. The constitution is in tatters. What do we the people do?

No donations to the DNC until they swap out the do-nothing "Clinton Triangulators" to elevate the FDR wing BRAWLERS like AOC, Bernie, Raskin, Murphy etc.
At MINIMUM expect endless filibuster!!
Especially over the SAVE Act that would disenfranchise millions of women and those missing passports!
We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
They will try to 'rig' the election. Again. I know they did it this last time. It's starting to show up now but we can't go back, we have to make sure they don't rig the next one. We have to win these mid terms. We just have to. There's no other way. Im going to the next rally. We ALL must show up!
What is wrong with Chuck Schumer? Weakest pathetic no leader. Who is leading the Democratic party? If it's AOC then appoint her. We need real strategies now.
Just as importantly, she was personal trainer before she got into congress. Now she has to maintain two residences on $174,000 salary. Where did she get $315,000 cash to buy stocks?
What can else we do? We are protesting and more and more will. But if there is no obedience to the SCOTUS or Congress (budgets…), what is the use?
Feels like every anti-trump thinker, will be shipped offshore and forgotten.
Seems more and more like a dystopian tragedy.
Crooked as her idol. I wonder how much the boyfriend made based on her insider knowledge. This is how there are so many rich people in congress. Tax the rich or feed them to the hogs.
Fabulous speech. People unite. It’s not about dem Vs gop. It’s about people Vs Billionaires. It’s about right Vs wrong. It’s all in together to get rid of these germs and make sure they face charges.
It's pretty white, pretty red, and pretty extreme, statewide. But here in the Treasure Valley, with most of the economy and most of the education, there's quite a bit of blue.
If laws don't apply to Trump, POTUS, Congress and SCOTUS, why would/should roughly 340 million Americans follow them? These people are asking for a total breakdown in social order and full blown anarchy.
I STILL do not understand why the poorest of poor will still vote and defend that scum bag. He doesn’t care. He has said as much.
“I don’t care about you, you just want your votes” DJT
petty BS. This MF is violating the US constitution, trading human beings to corrupt prisons, stealing people from the streets. Fucking shut up about stocks right this second. WTAF
...I have an honest question, do you think that's all AOC, or the rallies themselves, are talking about?
Also, I believe we can do two things at once, hyper fixating on one area of abuse won't cross mass audiences, you may not like it, but all topics need to be hammered on from various groups
Lock her up!!! Lock her up, and as long as your at it add drump, vance, musk and all of the other treasonous republicans who support this heinous crime!!!
They’re all guilty and need to be removed from office and thrown in prison!!!!
I don't want to advocate for violence, but it seems it may be the only thing that gets through those insanely thick skulls. If the laws continues to fail the people then it will be the only option left. I don't like we are quickly heading in that direction.
As a Georgian (NOT in that district), I'm hoping that your words about her base are prophetic, but these are folks who learn only what the RW media (and the WORST of those, even) feed them.
So, what ARE you actually going to do? WHY aren't the DEMs doing the most to depose Trump? What's standing in your way? Nothing will stop Trump unless he's either deposed, or shot.
I hope you realize that you won't be able to legally vote Trump out. Can you even imagine this man simply... obeying the law?!! He's not going to do the right thing, ever. Wake up.
Your mistake is assuming it’s up to AOC or the Dems to do anything. The electoral body voted in this mess and it’s up to the electorate to correct itself. They can only lead people with a message. They can’t effect its outcome.
Agreed. In a sane world, Trump could be legally voted out, but can you imagine for even one second this man simply stepping aside? Obeying the law? He's already planning his "third term".
You’re right. He won’t concede his time. At this point, it’s been long a war against the constitution. In essence, real war. I can’t imagine it’ll get to that, but I can’t see gov’t leaders coming to our rescue. If we still have fair elections, we vote. I don’t know how else we proceed, honestly.
It's a valid question, but the simple answer is the Dems have been neutered. Propaganda has made their message weak and ignored. Elderly leadership is too prim and proper to stoop down and fight attacks at their knees. Built-up distrust in the media drowns out their message.
Are the claws out? AOC is a nobody who is trying to make a difference. Like Mark Cuba and Elon Musk, they remembered where they are from... AOC, a barmaid/waitress, Cuban/ A poor one and Musk, Apartheid
She's a known death and misery profiteer,..
No amount of suffering on the part of others is a sacrifice too big for her to pad her accounts or her portfolio of crocodile tears and lies.
This is just par for her vomit and shit covered course.
Hurting people is the only thing that makes marjorie taylor greene happy, like calling the American people losers and failures when they’re already down, she’s evil.
Repubs only run to make money, they don't care about middle class working people. Take the stock trading out and we might get some decent people in DC.
She didn't write the legislation, (she just tagged her name on it like many others), nor did she walk it through committee, or help get it passed. All she did do was vote for it. Oh and then she went on to vote against the Infrastructure bill.
Thanks Lyndal Rowlands for your info!👏 Absolutely important for readers to know there is SO much more to a bill than meets the first glance.. many facets & strategy for voting for or against..We shouldn’t be too quick to judge unless studied it ourselves👍
When you have the truth on your side, your power grows and AOC is rising up with the people right behind her. Choose your path people! You know who is right. She is.
AOC, what good are hearings if no one follows up. By that I mean Pam Bondi perjury herself and she gets away with it? She is NOT for the people, only one.
Look at that crowd in red Idaho.
We will claw back our country and morality and our democracy.
We will remember, we will not become “the pedagogy of the Oppressed” Paulo Freire, but never forget.
Glad to see that some of the democrats are still holding rallies...now if all of this energy can be channeled constructively before the Cult of the Golden Calf hijack the electoral system before 2026 and 2028...
She stole that money.
Insider trading is theft. Someone who did not have that info sold those shares she bought. They lost an equal amount to her gain.
We need to write to the Supreme Court Justices and demand they reverse their Immunity Decision. Millions upon millions of letters, emails, phone calls...
@postcards4usa.bsky.social @postcards4ca.bsky.social SCOTUS needs to receive millions of postcards to demand they reverse their immunity Decision. Ring every day!
Uh-huh. What are you going to DO? I'll give Bernie and AOC credit, at least they're trying. But folks, I hate to tell you. Fascism doesn't voluntarily fold its tent.
This will require violence. Soon.
Christians are demons who hate and kill innocent people.
Crusaders, Inquisitors, Slavers, Settlers, and now the MAGA right wing Nazis.
Christians have never been about love. Maybe Jesus was, but never his followers.
I understand that you may want some sort of rosy shade thrown over it, but after a few millennia, the Christians are just going to have to own who they are. The peace and love that Jesus talked about was tossed easily and early on.
I studied the Bible for several years, with homelytics for sermons. I learned that the current Bible is hacked together by two kings, an emperor, and a pope. They wanted to remain in power and keep the peasant population in check. The Bible is a useful tool for that.
We still use it for that now.
Yes, SOME use the Bible to dominate manipulate others. Jesus told us this would happen. But their wrong won’t stop others from continuing Jesus’s mission.
BTW, more than just King James sat on panel to compose KJV Bible. There were about 50 diverse scholars. Now, there are over 50 Bibles.
And you can see what a disaster that they have wrought. Christians simply don’t follow the teachings of Jesus. They are not interested in peace or love or equality. They have always been interested in power. Since Constantine.
Maybe we should all wear purple? Just putting it out there, so no matter the activity, or even if you have to work that day, you can show solidarity with the movement?
If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.
Shumer knew he was wrong, that’s why he didn’t go on his fucking book 📕 tour. He was probably worried about a group of dems throwing books at him and telling him what we really think about him!
Shumer and pelosi need to get the F out of there and retire ffs. What do they want to die while in office? They’re both deadwood at this point in time and they’re dragging us down. I’m 70 and i’m retired. A lot of other boomers feel the same way as me
That time when AOC voted with MTG on blocking seizing dirty Russian oligarch money to help Ukraine. She's very selective on which oligarchs she likes and which she doesn't.
I guess "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT" afforded multi millionaire Space Laser Lady the financial breathing room to take down the Venmo to buy her adult son a beer.

Someone needs to just make the list !! Trump also dumped the day before the tariffs ….. all the people Congress senators DOGE people who are making billions of of the regular people !!! They are telling us “let them eat cake” well they took down that regime and so can we ! We out nimber them strike
i love the message but without any court to uphold the law, what does were not gonna take it mean? that is the abject failure of this country - we don’t prosecute the rich. we just stopped doing that, and the few we did prosecute were pardoned by lard lad.
All those that was involved in that insider trading fiasco, must be held accountable and penalized for this crime! Making money off the fears of the working class people
Blind trusts for every government official NOW! That means you too Nancy Pelosi. You had the chance to do the right thing and you didn’t. I wonder why?

There is an order of magnitude in corruption, however.
Warren is also paid as a professor.
I imagine if I made what a congresswoman or senator made, I could probably invest and make more too.
Let's start with the Party of Lies and Corruption.
Get real. Warren’s wealth has grown 6x just since she entered the Senate.
You’re blowing smoke up your own ass by wearing blinders over your champions whole going after your opponents.
Louis D. Brandeis
If you or I did this I’m pretty sure we’d be arrested.
Not having a go at AOC just find it hard to understand why stuff like that is seemingly allowed to happen without consequences.
I guess the USA needs to decide if it’s a democracy where nobody is above the rule of law, a dictatorship.
From where I am it’s not looking good but I’m an optimist and I’m hopeful enough decent Americans stand up to them, it could get ugly though.
