No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Well that’s just idiotic. All AUSAs are incredibly well credentialed and can get a cushy law firm job any day of the week. To say “I took one for the team” is meaningless when the entire team knows they’ll land a 7-figure salary once they get fired.
Latest in the rumor mail from DOJ is one career public integrity. Lawyer agreed to sign the motion to dismiss in order to prevent the sacking of all of their colleagues. Absolutely brutal Stalinist stuff from the new administration.

So… considering the federal workforce has about a 4% turnover rate, we’re basically paying federal employees who would have resigned anyway and paying them to not work for 6 months. 🤷♂️

I mean there's a genuine question about human biology here. Like: is he setting scheduled posts or is he up 24 hours a day and if it's the latter. How exactly does he manage that do you think?

This is the worst classification scandal in 20 years. According to someone who knows: Trump has done more for China in a couple of weeks than Xi could have dreamed.
New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”
