Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?
A week before he voted to cut Medicaid, Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in four companies that manage nearly half of all Medicaid enrollees in the country.

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.
NEW: After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to The Texas Newsroom.
All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

All his endorsed candidates got trounced.
It was a rebuke of him, his policies, his cruelty and his corruption.

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”
And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

In 9 months, he’s threatened to attack Mexico and annex Canada.
He started a tariff battle with China over fentanyl, bombed Colombian fishermen and is now gearing up to strike Venezuela.
