Members of Congress should not be trading stocks while serving in office. It’s an obvious conflict, and any real ban should apply to Presidents and Supreme Court Justices as well.
Republicans don't want to allow a vote on that kind of bill.
So today I signed a discharge petition to force one.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

A warm winter caused less demand for LNG and inventories skyrocketed driving down prices. Your electric bill should have fallen as a result. IT DID NOT. That shows you just how much electricity data centers are consuming.

Where is the outrage about schools having to close now, due to ICE/CBP attacks (with no end in sight)? No concerns about learning loss? It’s bad to have to close for public health reasons, but not because our society is being ripped apart at the seams, and our government is attacking us?
