so josh gottheimer thinks he's spotted the golden snitch in a game of financial quidditch with a $27m bet on microsoft. funny, considering how wall street is a rigged match where the bludgers often hit the small investors. remember, folks, it's about managing the risks, not finding a magical cloak of invisibility.

Representative Josh Gottheimer just disclosed a purchase of up to $27M of Microsoft call options That's not a typo: $27M Likely related to Gottheimer's former role as a strategist at Microsoft Still seems like a massive conflict of interest Will be keeping an eye on it

@POTUS More small businesses have filed for bankruptcy under Biden than under any other occupant of the White House. That’s because the economy is collapsing and Biden isn’t doing anything about it. He’s actually making it worse by allowing in millions of illegals every year.

Small businesses – not mega corporations – account for 40 percent of the gross domestic product of America. That’s why supporting small business is at the heart of my economic plan. And with 16 million business applications and counting, it's working.

Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest has actively traded energy stocks while in Congress. He sits on an energy subcommittee. In the NFL, betting on other sports gets you a suspension. In Congress, betting on companies you directly oversee gets you an ethics chairmanship.

UPDATE $TCMD is now up 48% in the two months since Senator Smith made this trade. Ridiculous. Any politician who profits this much off a stock that they directly oversee should be required to put their money in a blind trust.

The market has risen in 2023, but politicians still managed to beat it. Our portfolio that mimics stock trading by politicians is up over 37% this year. 86% of voters support a ban on congressional stock trading. There is a reason that this is ignored.

I almost missed this. Representative Eric Sorensen has cosponsored the TRUST in Congress Act. This bill would ban congressional stock trading. We have not seen Sorensen trade any stock while in Congress.

A new poll shows Representative Andy Kim leading in the race for Senator Bob Menendez' seat. We have not seen Kim do any stock trading while in office. He cosponsored a bipartisan piece of legislation that would ban congressional stock trading.

NEW REPORT Representative Mike Garcia sold Boeing stock in August of 2020. Just weeks later, his committee released the results of its investigation into crashes involving Boeing jets. He disclosed these trades months late, conveniently waiting until after the election. He was not investigated for these trades. He does not appear to even have been fined for disclosing them well past the deadline.

After decades of lawsuits spearheaded by me, the Hudson River is once again full of fish. But virtually all of the fish in the Hudson are contaminated with toxic PCBs. When polluters evade liability through legal loopholes, they get a hidden subsidy that encourages environmental crime, rather than deterring it. As president, I will protect the environment by forcing polluters — not the taxpayers — to pay for their cleanups. #Kennedy24

"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion 'just had to go somewhere,' says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. 'What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment, and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, 'Not now, lan, please!' It is very unusual," adds Tilton, "for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability!"

BREAKING: Once again, we finally have Congress afraid to trade given our public pressure. For example Representatibe Kathy Manning just disclosed two trades for $1.5 million. In the notes field, she says, HEDGE FUND. FUND MANAGER LETTER ON FILE WITH THE COMMITTEE ON ETHICS. She is trying to explain her own sales now. Let’s get them banned in 2024.

This past week, there were hundreds of bogus media stories claiming that I am antisemitic. Nothing could be further from the truth. I wish only the best for humanity and a prosperous and exciting future for all.

@KeirGiles Keir, did you every imagine that your journalistic career would reach its peak when you sat down and typed up an article defending someone who was a literal Waffen SS trooper? You disgust me to the point I had to create an X account just to let you know how despicable you are.
