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.

An important point getting overlooked:
When NIH cancels "diversity" grants (e.g., diversity supplements, Fs, Ks, etc), they aren't canceling the grants based on *what* the grant studies.
They're cancelling them based on *who* is doing the research. And that disallowed "who" is anyone not white.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

Ask yourself, do you want to live in a country where people have to pay off the president so that he won't threaten you with legal and regulatory sanctions?

Notice every Republican official addressing the media today (re: the DC airplane collision) go out of their way to make a positive mention of Trump.
They know he's watching.
Even in the face of terrible tragedy, they're all dancing for his favor.
It's a North Korean level of sycophancy.

Where is the public pressure on Merrick Garland and President Biden to release Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents that Trump stole — including our nation’s most closely guarded secrets? That’s far more important than the case against his co-defendants, which will be dropped soon anyway.

Laken Riley Act has just passed the house. We know why this was put into place, but my question is this...
Where is the Tamir Rice Act, The Ahmaud Arbery Act, The George Floyd Act...
I could list more, but I would need at least a 5 Million character limit increase.
