Strong evidence we are in fact in the “stupid” timeline.

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.

It shouldn't take a Supreme Court decision to bring back a person who never should have been abducted and deported in the first place.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says it's "not realistic" to rule out cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So much wining. It’s exhausting.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

Going from Yellen to Bessent is emblematic of the downgrades we’ve seen. We went from having one of the most knowable, capable people to ever hold her position to a venal, foul little quisling who has no qualms about lying in service of ruining the global economy.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

what a visual

Looks the same way to me: deliberate slow-walking of compliance with court orders, obscured in a “fog bank” of false information, is the way I describe their contumacy. In time, we’ll get the emails and depositions to prove it. turnto10.com/news/local/f...

Trump's not only gutting the markets. He is destroying the FDA and our entire health system. On this week's episode of Meidas Health, Dr. Vin Gupta asks former FDA chief under Biden, Dr. Rob Califf, all the questions that YOU need answers to. Listen now:

Me too

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth. That's the *best* case scenario.

The. Truth. About. Fox. News. ✨

Trump's tariffs aren't designed to help you — they're meant to make rich people even richer.

A fun reminder that Congress has the constitutional authority to take back its tariff power from POTUS and stop this madness

Kamala Harris was like “I’ll just keep this good economy rolling” and that somehow was not good enough

He did it because those tux-wearing bastards never once said "thank you."

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

The European Union has agreed to impose tariffs on $28 billion worth of U.S. imports as a countermeasure to the Trump regime's tariffs.

“I think people of principles should quit these law firms,” said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress and a former senior official in the Biden White House. www.thebulwark.com/p/big-backla...
