I’ll NEVER understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into the belief that the government should NOT use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
@mcuban Good points Mark....but there is an enormous difference between people who build a small to medium business and Billionaires or near billionaires who do not pay their fair share of taxes - No hate...just fairness.
@hjluks My Mom lived to 103 independently. Waitresses till 75 then Never stopped moving. Walked every day no matter the weather. Ironing was her “ hobby”. Also was stubborn and never quit.
Mike Johnson admitted Republicans plan to gut Social Security after the midterms. But wait — Bill Clinton had a budget SURPLUS for 4 years while Social Security paid out to millions just fine. The deficit isn’t Social Security’s fault. It’s Trump’s tax cuts. $13 trillion worth.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.
Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations.
Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.
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.
How in xxx are we making that much $$$ up - so wrong, so misguided and so stupid! .....in addition to just being anti-American and shameful what we are doing.
El demente de Trump se gastó 14 millones de dólares en pintar de "azul americano" la piscina del Lincoln Memorial, en Washington... al día siguiente de pintarla, se llenó de algas que parecía un río infestado de cocodrilos de la selva del Amazonas.
Trump no pensó que la pintura oscura elevaría la temperatura del agua de la piscina y causaría un rápido crecimiento de algas. 🤡
BREAKING: ABC News Just Published Some Pretty Stunning ICE Data.
The administration says it is targeting the "worst of the worst."
But according to ABC's analysis of government data, only 3% of the more than 400,000 people detained by ICE between January 2025 and March 2026 had a violent felony conviction in the United States.
ABC reports that ICE apprehended more than 4,800 U.S. citizens and deported over 2,000 of them during the first eight months of 2025.
