Banning Members of Congress from trading stocks or becoming lobbyists shouldn’t be controversial — nor should ending the pervasive self-dealing in the White House.
I’ve proposed real reforms to end corruption in Washington D.C. — and will keep fighting to get them across the finish line!

I fail to notice nothing. You fail to comprehend that political violence as a
American norm will not devour only those
who you think deserving. You will not be the arbiter of the bloodletting as it comes, and the horror will not be applied to only those deserving. Far from it.

Hard to overstate how dangerous these attacks on the free press are. And to make matters worse, many of the networks aren't putting up enough (or any) fight.
CNBC: Are you threatening to pull CBS's license?
FCC COMMISSIONER BRENDAN CARR: It's not a threat. That's a penalty that is in the communications act.

When people say that some concept is too complicated for voters to understand, I remember Stephen Sondheim's line about the "West Side Story" movie. He was told that it didn't have "hummable" songs. Then United Artists spent a ton of $ promoting it, the movie was a hit, and suddenly it was hummable.
I was told that protecting due process couldn't be a winning political issue because a poll from before this gained wide publicity showed people weren't already upset about it.
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”
He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.
