There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

This 👇🏻exactly! First thought/image that came to mind :”The Shining” and then The Great Gatsby

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

We have a supreme Constitution, not a supreme leader. Donald Trump, we have no kings here. We are not your subjects. We are free citizens. We will never be your subjects.

While people continue to struggle to get FEMA aid approved after their lives were destroyed by natural disasters.

Or at the very least, glitter-bomb them.

LA's ICE raids are impacting domestic violence shelters These programs "should be safe sanctuaries—and we can't even guarantee that anymore."

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Trump Claimed a Social Media Video Showed ‘Burial Sites’ of White Farmers. It Didn’t.

His hair is fucking treasonous

Horrifying that 2 Israeli embassy officials were just fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Sending prayers & solidarity to the victims’ families, the wounded & everyone shaken by this appalling lethal violence.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

They do! Make it stop!

Bribe? - You be the judge!

Holy sh*t!

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
