With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.

Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.

Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

@DrDavidKass What about all the index and exchange waivers they rec’d to force index funds to have to buy SpaceX. Numbers say you are correct but once again, manipulated opening, see how it goes with the artificial prop up.

[Steve Hasseler @HasselerSteve]

@MrGlobal2025 @robin_j_brooks The damage is real. Us lowly non-asset holders paying for utilities and food are getting our budget blown up and to your point on worse times coming, it is going to be worse this summer.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.

Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.

I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.

And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.

And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.

We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.

We fund schools with bake sales.

And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

@UziCryptoo So much for “pre-existing “ conditions in health care.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

I called to cancel my health insurance because I couldn't afford the premium.

The rep asked why.

I said $480 a month for a plan with a $6,500 deductible isn't insurance.

It's a monthly fee I pay to still go bankrupt if anything actually happens.

She didn't have an answer.

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal

This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

[Steve Hasseler @HasselerSteve]

@OwenShroyer1776 When do we start holding oil companies accountable for selling all of our US made refined! Gas /diesel overseas and jacking up our price because of inventory levels? America 1st my ass. Profit 1st. How about an EO to stop exporting refined petroleum products till prices come down

[Steve Hasseler @HasselerSteve]

@OfTheBraveUSA How about testify or we will throw you in the deepest pit of hell? Let’s give her that choice.

[Patricia Marins @pati_marins64]

We are heading toward another kind of stalemate and more economic chaos, one marked by heavy casualties and the involvement of additional actors.

Is the U.S. government going all-in? Not exactly.

Strategically this operation will not materialize the way the United States expects, nor will it be capable of reviving Donald Trump’s standing in the midterm election polls.
And they know precisely the risks I’m referring to.

We can expect a deepening of the economic crisis along with military phases marked by a high risk of environmental disasters and limited strategic advances.

Internally, what does this mean? It is highly probable that they will actively work to prevent the elections from taking place as planned, which will shake the United States to its core domestically.

[Steve Hasseler @HasselerSteve]

@SydneyLWatson The system they need to figure out/ fix is how to make becoming a Dr not cost $500,000 (outside of military) No one will be a Dr if the pay doesn’t make the spend worth it. So hospitals have to charge to pay. It’s bigger than that. Ins sucks.
