It really is time for better ethics laws for Congress.
Laws. Not just "rules" that are easily waived or ignored.
Point #1: The Congress itself can not write them.
These laws will be written by a committee of citizens.

Shortly after the 2025 elections, I published a list of seven voting laws every blue state should enact. While I stand by all seven, I want to highlight three. https://t.co/4RXOlS0Y4J
WAKE UP, AMERICA.
The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.
In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.
All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!
This is sick.

@jedi_medic217@RepLuna You retards need new excuses. There are ppl in prison with near-life sentences who had less credible evidence against them for child molestation than Trump has.
@NatalieDunlevey@HunterBiden@JG_CSTT Yet for all the millions of Taxpayer Dollars that Comey wasted, the only testimony that ever implicated the Bidens was a Russian spy (paid by the GOP) who admitted that everything he said to Congress abt the Bidens was a fecking lie.
Jon Ossoff: We cannot let the fact that Bill Pulte is not a household name prevent us from informing the public about the danger posed by his appointment as Director of National Intelligence. This guy has no background in intelligence. He is a thug and a hack who abused his power at the top of the Federal Housing Finance Authority.

@MERICAxFIRST@micah_erfan Doge's incompetence and illegal actions COST the government more than they saved.
They also claimed a lot of savings that never materialized, again, due to incompetence or outright lies.
@NancyMace Give them a plot in the middle of some god-forsaken wasteland like Nebraska or Oklahoma with no public roads, police, fire services, utilities, & no FEMA if they get hit by tornado. Those services don't stop costing money just because you had a certain birthday this year.
If members of Andy Ogles' comms team can post in his name without his knowledge, how do we know this new post is really from Ogles? Maybe the new post is from his comms team? Maybe the old one was from Ogles?

@MrWhiplash_ This is nothing more than #AccusationPropaganda -- someone claims to have "proof" of a crime, but the reality of it is, there is no proof. Just someone waving some papers around and posting rage-bait.
Same thing these ppl have done since 2016.
