2024 Town hall Question: How do people go to Congress and become multimillionaires.. Greene: I do not know. I haven’t found that money tree up there.. that they all seem to have.. Pelosi supposedly has some great stock tips

😂😂

Any questions? www.rawstory.com/book-censors...

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

Someone should check which Trump allies and members of Congress bought Apple/tech stock on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

Well, aren’t we weak already??? The commander-in-chief can’t even fold an umbrella!!! Just think about that!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Do not obey

#3 When this becomes fact, and I fear it will, every person who enabled this from the Regime leader on down to the pilots who flew the plane and the guards that marched him to his death sentence need to pay, no matter how long it takes. Ten years, twenty years, it has to happen.

Deplorables.

What have we become? This is so awful!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

weird, what could explain this

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Hubris run amok…👇

Stop donating to these 4 Democrats. They voted yes on the SAVE Act, a blatant voter suppression act: 🖕Jared Golden 🖕Marie Gluesenkamp Perez 🖕Henry Cuellar 🖕Ed Case #VotingRights newrepublic.com/post/193868/...

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

A standoff is coming.

Next Oligarch move...tariff on medicine....stocks tank...next day tariff is reversed and the billionaires grift again.

"In addition to the check delays, Mayes said her office has received complaints about other Social Security disruptions..." ktar.com/arizona-news...

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

🚨Every word of this from AOC. "If people are pissed about insider trading here at the House, look at what's happening at the White House.” (🎥 NY1)

Yesterday the Oval Office.

Federal agents wearing plain clothes tried to question kids at elementary schools in L.A. on Monday, according to a reporter at Spectrum News. "Superintendent Carvahlo said the agents claimed they had parent permission to question the kids, but it wasn't true"

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.
