As someone who spent most of my career dealing with financial fraud (first as an SEC attorney and later as a banking law professor), I am pretty familiar with the concept of a Ponzi scheme. Social Security? Not a Ponzi scheme. Elon Musk's businesses? Looking more and more like a Ponzi scheme.

Donald Trump is no friend to those in agriculture. Along with an idiotic trade war, he's begun a slash-and-burn campaign to cut funding that our farmers depend on. My fellow Illinoisans, it's time for all of us to stand up.

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.

Illinois is home to the third-largest community college system in the nation. We must do all we can to leverage for Illinoisans these world-renowned institutions. I'm proposing legislation that allows community colleges to offer 4-year bachelor's degrees for in-demand careers.

It's time to stand up and speak out. Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Me watching a film. 1. Start watching. 2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before. 3. Google actor. 4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page. 5. Find out every single detail of their entire life. 6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.
