The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

If you are a Democratic member of Congress and you’re trading stock, you are part of the reason millions of voters believe the system isn’t built to help them.

Gretchen Whitmer is the Jean Van de Velde of politics. Van de Velde was leading the 1999 Open Championship by 3 strokes going into the last hole. He blew up, making critical errors, and ended up losing in a playoff. This is what Whitmer did this week after all good will she had built up.

The Trump admin’s refusal to follow a Supreme Court order and return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador is so absurd that the possibility he has been killed cannot be ruled out. This could be Trump’s version of a concentration camp where people are given a one-way ride to die.

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?

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Israel is trying to interfere in the Canadian election, less than 48 hours after Trump met with Netanyahu. The Israelis are gunning for Carney and coercing the liberal party to pledge fealty. It’s time to stop appeasing war criminals. It’s the same act they hit the US Democratic Party with. #cdnpoli

#Florida Disability & Medicaid 🛑 MYTH: “If you have a job, you don’t need Medicaid.” ✅ FACT: Many Floridians with disabilities work and still rely on Medicaid for the care and tools they need to stay employed. 4.8+ million Floridians rely on Medicaid—many of them are working.

Every Democrat voted no on the budget that leads to cutting Medicaid, Social Security, & Medicare to fund tax cuts for rich people. The 1 not present is my Rep, who would’ve voted no had he not been in the hospital in intensive care. His staff has been active despite his isssue. He’ll be okay.

Creepy MAGA insurrectionist Mike Johnson pretends every day that he’s a decent god loving Christian. He just voted to cut Medicaid when over 40% of the people in his district rely on Medicaid. Moral of the story, he’s not only a disgusting liar, he’s also incredibly evil.

I’ve noticed that many journalists and commentators who refuse to acknowledge the US has already succumbed to dictatorship are white, wealthy and straight. Minorities get it. The poor gets it. How much more evidence do we need? The country is under authoritarian rule. Unless you’re rich, of course.

Trump needs to be arrested and the wealth of himself and co conspirators spread throughout the citizenry to replace all money stolen during his recent tariff fraud and economic sabotage. He owes you all money.
