Marjorie Taylor Greene invested in 17 US stocks between 3rd and 4th April, when the stock market nosedived on Trump's tariff games. Now that Trump has paused his tariffs (except on China), Greene's stocks have all risen. #Corruption

An understandably angry and emotional REP. @repjasonpowell , who reps the district ANTIOCH HIGH is in, offered an amendment to make schools safer👇🏽😳

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Broligarchs against democracy: my essay in @theatlantic.bsky.social, based on my new book, "Offshore: Stealth Wealth & the New Colonialism" (shorturl.at/rTacl).
