Final vote total for the NDAA today which tragically merges our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Let’s hope this version fails in the Senate because Section 219 is a betrayal of our sovereignty.
Correcting the Record: your shitty, watered-down bill is a bandaid on a bullet hole. It does NOT ban stock trading. It bans Members of Congress from *BUYING* stocks but not *SELLING* them. Nice loophole. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Oh and of course it does NOTHING to prevent the corrupt crooks at the @WhiteHouse from cashing in on insider information. We need a REAL ban on stock trading. NOW!
If he really wanted this done, he would pass as a stand alone bill and add the President to the ban.
It’s just politics, they are combining it with the SAVE act to get Dems to vote no.
It’s just a game
Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
There’s a scheme hiding in plain sight, and almost no one’s talking about it.
“Truth Social is going to sell hedge fund managers millisecond advantages on Trump’s tweets so that they can front-run other people’s trades.”
It’s not a loophole, it’s a business model, and we’ve got 30 months left to live with it.
Edward Norton says Trump is far worse than Nixon
"I mean, I think Trump is worse, far worse than Nixon and McNamara"
"Trump and Hegseth are there.."
"You can actually credit Nixon and McNamara with some dimension of competence. You know terrible things were going on and they were corrupt in some ways"
"But we're now at a level of incompetence, grift, and corruption that is unprecedented in the history of this country"
🔥 Jon Stewart Defends Democratic Socialism: “When you call it SoCiALiSm, I think it’s a misnomer — It’s about strengthening a safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money, and undervaluing labor and work. That’s it.”
Massie: Still, there’s a base—there’s Fox News that’s on TV every day trying to glorify this war. Eventually, I think people’s pocketbooks are going to impose reality on them, and they’re going to quit watching Fox and pay more attention to gas prices. We’re already seeing that with farmers, and that’s why you got this $12 billion bailout. This is essentially trying to buy the farmers off in time for the election, saying, “We’re sorry. We know we wrecked your farm with high fertilizer and high diesel prices, so please don’t punish us.”
As a reminder, Pete Hegseth was pushed out of TWO veterans nonprofits amid financial mismanagement allegations, running groups into debt, overspending on parties/events, and treating funds like personal accounts.
Now, he has just about bankrupted the Pentagon despite a record budget and is demanding another $1.5 trillion.
So let me get this straight:
The guy who made the least, Joe Biden, had every accusation, investigation, and smear imaginable thrown at him.
Meanwhile, the guy raking in money hand over fist gets a complete pass from the same press corps?
Do I have that right?
Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source.
Obama's wealth grew from royalties on books written before office — and Bush's mostly from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior.
Most of Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.
