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.

🚨The White House just issued an executive order to close the U.S. Department of Education. Eliminating ED or moving IDEA to another agency will be a step backward in serving those with disabilities.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Just realizing: of course there will be a 90 day extension issued next week on the TikTok ban. And not because of our ability to use the platform. But because 90 days…gets us to Tax Day. So all the people/biz’s that have generated income won’t be able to say “I couldn’t get my tax forms from TikTok”
