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.

They will NOT bring back the man they violently & illegally deported. And they HAVE BEEN & will CONTINUE to deport CITIZENS, including CHILDREN. THIS IS INTENTIONAL. PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR IS A POWERFUL TOOL OF FASCISM. ANYONE is a target. Be ready hide your neighbors when the time comes.

I've had folks ask me if they should still shop at Target. You gotta do what's right for you. I haven't shopped at Target in well over a year, ever since they removed Pride merch. Folks may call that a boycott if they wish. I call it giving my money only to businesses who value me as a customer.

The evidence of the COUP is extensive. Yet the majority of people in the media & government are acting like this is just an “administration”. This is an authoritarian takeover! Yet no one’s actually SAYING it. They’re tryna do “politics” & use “the law”. I’m in the MUTHAFUKKKIN TWILIGHT ZONE!

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

The First Felon Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.gov

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

Are you kidding me?! Think twice before you take that cruise. I worked the COVID cruise evacuations—they scarred me for life. And now? They’ve gutted the CDC unit that inspects cruise ships for norovirus, E. coli & other outbreaks. This is how preventable disasters happen. Again.

One of the greatest ongoing scandals of today is that our elected officials — Democrats included — continue to refuse to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

THEY ARE ABLE TO DESTROY THE UNITED STATES ONLY BECAUSE OF LEGAL GERRYMANDERING. IF IT WEREN'T FOR GERRYMANDERING THE MAGA PARTY WOULD NOT HAVE A MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE. ILLEGALLY IN POWER. DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
