According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Want to make it clear that this case was 4-6 years in the making and heroes here are League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. I hope national press gets this right. Voters approved an initiative in 2018 to create a districting commission. Fighting for implementation since

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.
All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.
The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.
So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
