Tom Kean Jr. promised us he’d put his assets into a blind trust when he first ran for Congress.
Four years later, he is one of Congress’s most prolific stock traders.
Read my Substack about why it’s time to get money out of politics.

There’s a part of Jon Ossoff’s Atlanta rally everyone missed, and it may have been the most powerful moment of the entire night.
“I’ve got two little girls at home. Eva’s four and Lila’s one… But this isn’t the world I want to leave them.”
Then he put America’s broken priorities into one devastating sentence:
“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.”
And then came the line every parent will feel in their bones:
“When Eva’s old enough to ask me why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully…
THAT I DIDN’T.”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the entire damn fight.
Ossoff: Tech titans dig bunkers and warn us the new intelligence they're training could lead to mass joblessness or human extinction, and our Congress debates ballrooms and youth sports.
We've amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can't summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.
I say all this to say that it's the crushing weakness of our politics against the unmet needs of our people and the massive stakes of our times that's shaking our faith in the future.
🎉WIN: The full 6th Circuit rejected the DOJ’s request to reconsider a ruling that denied its demand for Michigan’s unredacted voter data.
Even after losing in 22 district courts and once before the 6th Circuit in June, the DOJ has insisted it has authority to obtain such data. https://t.co/lFtxR3xZw4
Ossoff: When you step back and consider it, the situation is absurd. Tech titans dig bunkers and warn us the new intelligence they’re training could lead to mass joblessness or human extinction, while our Congress debates ballrooms and youth sports.
We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world 1,000 times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K. I say all this to say, but it’s the crushing weakness of our politics, against the unmet needs of our people and the massive stakes of our times, that’s shaking our faith in the future.
But Atlanta, I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become.
When Eva is old enough to ask me why I let this happen. I'm determined to answer truthfully, that I didn’t
Your president pardoned people who did this to me and like you, he wants to make the lives whole or better than before January 6 while not giving a shit about officers.
YOU CLEARLY HAVE A SHITTY GOVERNMENT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BUYS "SHOCK GLOVES" FOR THEIR SECRET POLICE INSTEAD OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR ITS SAILORS WHO HAVE BEEN STUCK ON A SHIP FOR 8 + MONTHS 😒
