The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I go to right-wing conferences and rallies with elected Republicans all the time. They've been screaming that they were going to do this for the last decade. I've regularly reported on it. If only the Washington Post writers and editors ever left fucking DC.
This is a blatant attempt to destabilize the entire US government. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Look this sucks but news outlets need to start realizing there's limited journalistic value in sitting in a room and letting a person behind a podium lie to you. You're not holding anyone to account when you do that.

In the first two days of this presidency, we have a delusional billionaire de-facto cabinet member giving a Nazi salute and a sitting GOP senator calling for the deportation of a minister preaching about mercy for the vulnerable.
