Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

Our bill to stop private equity from buying up homes is now law. Despite Donald Trump's refusal to sign it, his Administration must now implement it. We'll be watching closely to ensure it's done right.

Bloomberg Tax@bloombergtax.com

The Treasury Department on Thursday proposed rules on new restrictions on large investors buying single-family homes, one of the first moves in the federal government to implement the bipartisan housing package that passed over the summer.

An effective way to stop the detention-deportation industrial complex is to disincentivize companies from doing business with the Trump Regime. Hit ‘em where it hurts the most: their profits

Private corporations like Sonesta Hotels are putting profits over people when they contract with Trump’s immigration federal agencies to detain & imprison migrants in their hotels. I explain a powerful new lawsuit has been brought to make them pay for their complicity: youtu.be/O2c7RdJLm8M?...

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

Last year, Trump & 98% of GOP members enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan’s. By 2034, 7.5M people will lose their Medicaid because of it. Clinics are closing & hospitals are shutting down, citing BBB as a reason. It’s unforgivable. Vote them all out.

Devastating. Little kids. My heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones, and the people of Oregon. No family should ever have to suffer like this—and there have been over 50 school shootings just this year. Congress must do much more to prevent gun violence.

BREAKING: Elon Musk has now spent 276M on “saving” Republicans in the midterms—and that’s just since July. He’s now the single largest donor on the GOP side. How do we fight back? By turning out to vote in massive numbers AND by giving to Oath’s “Everyone vs. Elon” fund. 🔗 below!

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

This is as treasonous as it gets

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

NEW: Big Tech companies reveal to Congress they expect YOU to keep subsidizing their data centers. AND they’ll keep using NDAs to keep the public in the dark. I’m not letting them get away with it.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?
