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.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

Honestly, last night’s bullshit is going to be a last straw for a lot of people when it comes to the Democratic Party. Matching outfits and grimaces are not a real response to fascism. We need an entire party of Al Greens.

(1,2) During the last Trump State Of The Union, I spoke the truth when I yelled out "What about victims of gun violence like my daughter." For that, I was removed, arrested, & jailed. This speech is a bottomless pit of undignified nonsense with evil at its core.

Trump's fake state of the union is Tuesday. Trump deserves ZERO respect from Democrats during the speech. As a reminder, they heckled Biden non-stop. Trump is a traitor - he deserves far worse!

Democrats should not attend Trump’s joint address to Congress tomorrow. No way. Trump is siding with Putin & siding against the free world. Trump & Musk are defying the Constitution daily. Democrats must make a statement that NONE of this is acceptable. They must get some balls & boycott his speech.

The revamping of MSNBC’s lineup isn’t going to work. More people are boycotting the network than ever before. Rebecca Kulter’s firing of popular hosts is going to backfire.

This affected ALL the shows’ viewership numbers but they chose to focus on minority hosts’ shows and used that as an excuse to end their careers at that network. It was an easy excuse. Why isn’t Morning Joe canceled? That was the catalyst for the network’s tanking ratings. #TheReidOut

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
