Well this sucks ...

We just caught Michigan rep Tim Walberg disclosing new buys of Exxon Mobile $XOM, Eaton Corp $ETN and Chevron $CVX.

There’s 3 reasons it stood out:

1. Walberg sits on the House Committee on Natural Resources, which has direct jurisdiction over energy leasing on federal lands

2. Each one of those investments is up double digits

3. He disclosed 14 months late, making it impossible to tail him

Don't worry though he'll be fined ...

$200.

BREAKING: RJ Reynolds, one of the largest U.S. tobacco companies and maker of Camel and Newport cigarettes, donated $5 million to Trump.

Days later, company executives reportedly met with him at Mar-a-Lago to push for looser flavored vape regulations, after which the FDA changed its policy, per NYT

Single-handedly ruining the game of basketball. Truly a disgrace to the sport.

The Trump FDA story is crazy

Big Tobacco donated $5,000,000 to Trump's super PAC

Two days later, Reynolds American's executives met with Trump at his Florida golf club to demand the FDA reverse its flavored vape ban

Trump then personally called RFK Jr. and his health secretary to complain about the ban

Then questioned the FDA commissioner directly for not moving fast enough

The FDA commissioner who said no resigned days later and so did RFK Jr.'s chief spokesperson, citing the vape policy as the reason

Then the ban was lifted within a week

The White House says it had nothing to do with the $5,000,000

James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny”

The National Park Service ran on a $3 billion budget and generated $56 billion in economic output in 2024. That’s over $17 back for every $1 invested.

With a record of 332 million visitors last year, Americans clearly care about their parks and expect them to be funded.
