Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

The only criminal that SCOTUS stuck us with is you Donald, tbh

Amazing stuff

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I hosted a Senate forum about the Trump administration’s attacks on public education, and Secretary Linda McMahon refused to show. The American people have questions, and I’m going to get them answers.

If the 14th amendment only covers the children of slaves then the 2nd amendment only covers flintlocks

NEW: Judge Hannah Dugan files a blistering motion to dismiss the baseless charges against her. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/in-defense...

I believe in you.

Justice Jackson nails where we are right now: “Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

I’m reliably told this is cutting edge research with lots of commercial and defense applications that no one in their right mind would shutter.

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

Harvard’s unofficial copy of Magna Carta is actually an original, experts say

thirty seconds of a kitten falling asleep:

They’re eating the cats! They’re eating the dogs!

Senator @ossoff.senate.gov lays out the depths of Trump’s depraved corruption and says @SpeakerJohnson and other congressional Republicans are complicit. cc: @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

No lawmaker in Congress — with access to all kinds of non-public information — should own, buy, and sell individuals stocks.   It's time to BAN congressional stock trading.

there were so many magazines u would go to the dentist office and be irritated that your one favorite magazine was not there or was six months out of date even though the magazine rack was full of magazines

Keep up the pressure, Illinois. Demand that Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans in Washington prioritize you over tax cuts for their friends. Stand up, speak out, show up — it's time to fight back.

Fuck the Missouri GOP.

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments. It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

Been a busy few days…

NEW: Who are the members of Trump's Secret Police? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trumps-sec...

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

GOLDMAN: Will you give Abrego Garcia the due process the Supreme Court has required you to give him? NOEM: If he were to come back to this country, he would be immediately removed again G: How do you know? The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he hasn't been treated appropriately

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Secretary Noem appears to not want to say if the picture of Abrego Garcia’s hand is doctored Swalwell: I have a 7 year old, a 6 year old, and 3 year old. I have a bullshit detector. I’m just asking you a question

No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

We should be helping ordinary Americans on Main Street, not super wealthy Americans who don’t need another tax cut.

Police cars should be marked and Ice agents should not be be masked.

I was reading the comments on a local news article about Medicaid cuts and a Missouri woman called having access to healthcare a “lifestyle” that isn’t meant for folks who can’t afford it. I have never read anything more sad, or American, in my life…

Because I’m flying out of EWR this week, I’ve been following the story really closely and I have not seen a single mention of the fact that ATC has faced chronic staff shortages ever since Reagan fired the air traffic controllers to break their union in the 1980s.

“You can’t make this up.” - Marsha, making it up

It’s the grift that keeps on grifting.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

Laura Loomer not thrilled about Swamp Force One ✈️

I campaigned on the proposal to tie VA funding directly to any DOD funding that paid for troops. That way, every time we created a soldier, we funded his or her post-service needs & care. The idea was to bake veterans’ benefits into the cost of war, and never to allow one without the other.

To win a war they cannot avoid, Chief Justice Roberts and his allies must rediscover their belief in a simple notion: The American president is not above the law.
