Any chance it could be backdated a couple of months?

blankpage00.bsky.social•13 days ago

So Hakeem Jefferies called for a ban, and the guy chose the opportunity to take shots though he said he agreed? Fighting when you agree is a clear way to not get anything done.

danwayfarer.bsky.social•14 days ago

Congressmen and Congresswomen should be in office to serve the people not themselves!

I agree with Scott!

isometricfit.bsky.social•20 days ago

You need your own podcast. Just you, as you can decode/describe your day on Fox news.

neptuniandemocracy.bsky.social•20 days ago

You’re awesome 🤩

About time. again and again and again.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•20 days ago

Should never have been allowed. Thanks for keeping people informed and involved.

brucecoffman.bsky.social•19 days ago

Jeesuz fucking KKKrist! They had FOUR YEARS while it had a snowball's chance in Hell of passing and didn't do it!!!!!! I hate him! USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

almas3.bsky.social•20 days ago

Pelosi is as guilty as the rest, don't make excuses for her. Weak sauce Sir, weak!!!!!

quesadilla79.bsky.social•20 days ago

But @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has no power, it's their government you complained to us. Got any legislation or just talk.

oakbrook.bsky.social•19 days ago

Doin' the best he can.

mexicoencantado.bsky.social•19 days ago

Kudos for you guys calling out both parties. The reason this hasn't gotten traction is exactly because some of the top Democrats are just as guilty of this corruption.

mexicoencantado.bsky.social•19 days ago

Also my take is that it's an election ploy and Democrats have no intention of actually doing it. They know it won't pass and if they win they'll conveniently forget about it like lots of other things in the past.

fleurdelisa.bsky.social•19 days ago

They’re all in it for themselves. All of them - all of them - get rich in office. That’s the club. That’s how it works now.

joemurrey.bsky.social•19 days ago

Good job by the reporter for calling Mr. Jeffries out on Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading. Ban it for all of ‘em!

mncatlady4.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is a very nice exchange of thoughts. I like moving towards. Your side did it too. To move to we have to agree both side should not trade stocks and citizen United needs to be reviewed

whatchaknooow.bsky.social•19 days ago

SO TIRED of this "Well, THEY did it" bullshit. We are talking about NOW and it's not okay ANYTIME.

theglobalgourmand.bsky.social•19 days ago

Funny how a lot of these “democrats” call for things like trading bans when they have zero power in the house or senate but never when they’re in power.
Funny.

mexicoencantado.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yup. That's the hustle. They'll conveniently forget about it if they win the midterms.

truthseekercg.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you for bringing up @pelosi.house.gov

groundationmusic.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think Hakeem Jeffries found his niche....attack Marjorie's nonsense...corruption!!!!

samierens.bsky.social•20 days ago

No stock trading in government period! All levels!

jrunnier.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you for your brave efforts. We all appreciate it. 🦋

mrmacattack.bsky.social•20 days ago

It should but it won't.

stomp250.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sorry but I don’t buy Pelosi didn’t commit insider trading

sanasp.bsky.social•20 days ago

There were also Congress members who engaged in insider trading in 2020, bought stock in PPE companies right before the pandemic.

ryy7.bsky.social•20 days ago

Cool. Stop the AIPAC funds too then.

Do it!

liona-1rowan.bsky.social•19 days ago

It was not ok for mtg anf not ok for pelosi. Insider trading should not ever be happening. Quite frankly I'm shocked that it was ever allowed.

luswee.bsky.social•20 days ago

This whole administration needs to be under investigation and everyone that took part in this mess needs to be arrested period! DEMOCRATS WE NEED ACTION! WE NEED DISRUPTION!ANYTHING LESS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

ziggadoo.bsky.social•19 days ago

BAN stock trading
for ANY sitting member of congress
(House & Senate!)

whitesoxrule.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trump's Crypto account is open for business.

mikshawful.bsky.social•19 days ago

Hakeem Jeffries is just another dipshit liberal hold us back from true progress.

givedogsthevote.bsky.social•19 days ago

"Nancy didn't, I don't think, but MTG did, or maybe did, so yeah, we should go after MTG."

Look, I agree MTG is a fucking cockroach, and there is plenty to get her on. If he's gonna bring shit, bring it to end it. Otherwise, he shld go make breakfast since he's absolutely excellent at waffling.

gayemily.bsky.social•20 days ago

"I don't think pelosi has ever traded on insider information"

so he ain't going to do shitttt about it

...and their spouses too. Like Paul Pelosi for example!

lareds224.bsky.social•19 days ago

👍

steven831.bsky.social•19 days ago

Nope. Pelosi will block it.

liamari11.bsky.social•17 days ago

My guess, like all restrictive bills, just enough will vote against to make sure it doesn’t pass.
Likewise, pay raise bills will pass by a slim margin… I think they take turns being good guys voting no and bad guys voting yes.
Truly, it has nothing to do with The Will of The People.
Just sayin

qtainpfaulkes.bsky.social•19 days ago

Every. Single. Time. they do this. They say they'll ban it, they'll write legislation to ban it, then legislation will be so watered down it is effectively the same strength as American beer.

The fine for failing to report trades by Congress is $200.

Whatever they propose will never see daylight.

davedurant.bsky.social•19 days ago

Kinda feels like we've done this one before, no?

The only reason most go to Congress is the get rich. They go into office with little and come out multi-millionaires

markmaul.bsky.social•20 days ago

Let’s get a functioning congress and government before we start asking to pass new laws

warrenchortle.bsky.social•20 days ago

You can tell scott was a little nervous having to call bs on him like that but I'm glad he decided to do it

lmorrill1391.bsky.social•20 days ago

Jessica, thank you. I never watch Fox but see on videos how hard you’re working. I can’t imagine your frustration on the daily. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

lonestarjacket.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ouch.

Yeah, supported more by Dems than Pubs, but too may Dems start staring at the carpet and go silent when the topic is raised.

It flatly makes no sense to allow it. And friends and family should be under scrutiny as well.

larsericjoakim.bsky.social•19 days ago

Think they still got families..

NEED A PEACEFUL NATIONWIDE MARCH for MILITARY REMOVAL! It's time to take off the PHUCKEN gloves & everyone in America call for a MILITARY REMOVAL of this entire Anti-Constitutional, Criminal WH & Administration since the CRIMES are multiplying daily #RemoveTheThreat #TheBestDefenseIsAnOffense
NOW👇👇👇

pipermarie.bsky.social•19 days ago

Jeffries, you don't have to defend Pelosi. If she took advantage of her seat, then she should go down, too. She's part of the problem with old-school democrats Let her answer for her actions. This is a systematic problem, not a party problem.
