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.

Via @steverattner.bsky.social: Tax cuts account for 38% of the national debt today, while recession responses and spending increases each caused 29%. And now the Republicans want to pass $5.3T more tax cuts. We can’t keep this up. #EconSky

Just an observation but this market will crash: now, in a few weeks, months, or perhaps a year or two. But IT WILL because the “fundamentals” are now corruption and oligarch insider control. When the loss of trust and governance is priced in. Watch out! 💀📉 #econsky

Keep raising your voices. Keep telling your stories. This is how we saved health care for millions of families in Trump’s first term. And this is how we can stop Republicans from slashing Medicaid to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks.

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines. This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

Sadly, what it will probably take for Trump to stop this suicide mission with the global economies will be when Rupert Murdoch decides he has had enough, and starts covering what is actually happening for Trump’s base.
