If you're breaking the law, lining your own pockets, and calling it "public service" — the Amendment I introduced in the Oversight Committee has your name on it.

VP Vance just came to the Senate to cast the tie-breaking vote to keep Trump’s disastrous tariff policies in place.
On a day that our economy contracted, you’d think they would wake up to the fact that their national sales tax is hurting our economy. But they don't seem to care.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.
