Our elected representatives should NOT be allowed to trade stocks. As your Congressman, I will not only support legislation to ban members of Congress from owning or trading stocks – I will force a floor vote on it. We CAN win, but it’s going to take all of us.

Arresting judges. Disappearing people. Punishing law firms. The Supreme needs to come down on him like a ton of judicial bricks now, not later, when it could be too late. Authoritarians get more dangerous the longer they are accommodated.
