Why was there a spike in trade volume right before Trump announced his tariff pause? In a normal world, there would be a fear of breaking the law. And we'd have a bipartisan push for answers.

The Office of Government Ethics just confirmed they received my letter demanding information about potential insider trading before the big tariff announcement. Last time they acknowledged one of my letters, Trump fired the director. Need a better response this time.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Tax cuts for billionaires aren't free. They're paid for by the rest of us. Higher taxes. Fewer services. All to give the richest among us more money that they do not need.

Acting on advice from a right-wing influencer, Trump fired the head of NSA. He’s eliminated programs monitoring foreign influence and disinformation. Fired those securing voting systems & degraded efforts to stop foreign intrusions. Making our elections less secure. And more vulnerable to Russia.
