Jasmine Crockett: “The level of disrespect that is continuously lobbed against us as black women. I am one of the 535 most powerful people in this country. And for some reason, you think we on the same level, but you gonna disrespect me?"

@MattForVA It's a rule for the "elite": they have to tell us what they are doing. They have chosen TV and movies for a lot of our "education". Watch for more. There are no coincidences 🤷‍♀️

Snake Eyes, a movie made in 1998, was about a political figure named Charlie Kirkland who was assassinated at a public event on September 10th (same day as Charlie Kirk). A guy named Tyler the executioner was involved in the assassination plot. Tyler was the name of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin. The movie was filmed at Trump’s hotel. That’s a hell of a lot of coincidences. Oh, and Kirkland was shot in the neck in the movie.

@MJTruthUltra Research how we are all time travelers 😳🤪

Lara Trump: “Barron Trump is not a time traveler— I’ve seen him grow up— if you believe in conspiracies like this, you probably also believe we didn’t actually land on the moon, or you believe that 9/11 is an inside job.” Umm… is that reverse psychology? 🤣 rumble.com/v797ejq-lara-t…

@GregoryKBovino @VBG1363148 The willful ignorance and mental juggling on the side of the left is something that will be studied extensively in the future. At least I hope so 🙏. We can't let this shyte happen to our country ever again 😔

@VBG1363148 God bless those settlers. Brave lot they were.

"And on the sixth day God created settlers", according to GOP's Greg Bovino and other Republicans.

Anyone in the El Paso, TX please attend if possible. No Veteran goes alone. Please repost.

The Senate still hasn’t voted on our bill to defund the Taliban. The House passed the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act last year, yet tax dollars continue funding the Taliban. Please urge @JohnThune to schedule a vote. Thank you. Senator John Thune: (202) 224-2321

This. Is. Terrifying. This technology should NEVER be allowed to be used. Ford can fvck right off and so can the Congress members who voted to put this tech in vehicles starting in 2027.

Cash shipments to the Taliban’s Central Bank have not stopped. The Senate still hasn’t voted on our bill to defund the Taliban. Please urge Senator @JohnThune to bring the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act to the floor. I’m grateful for your support. John Thune: (202) 224-2321

@WatchChad It's mind-boggling the amount of people that say to me "I can't" when I tell them that to heal, you actually have to sit with yourself. It's crazy 🤪

Nobody likes to say out loud that being broken can become comfortable. Excuses can become your identity. Victimhood can become a lifestyle. If you want healing, you can’t keep holding onto the thing that’s keeping you sick. If you want to move forward, let go of whatever is making you stop.

A soldier used classified intel to make $409K on Polymarket. Arrested. 5 federal charges. Assets seized. Congress traded $635 million last year. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions in 14 years. Maximum fine: $200. Routinely waived. The STOCK Act was signed with 14 pens in 2012. Its searchable database was repealed 11 months later by voice vote on a Friday evening. No cameras. No podium. It took 4 pages to remove the only part of the law that worked. This is not new. The pattern is 60 years old. Abu Ghraib: 11 enlisted soldiers convicted. The Secretary of Defense who authorized the techniques was never charged. The lawyer who wrote the torture memo got a federal judgeship. The 2008 financial crisis: 1 banker went to prison. 10 million families lost their homes. The CEO whose bank paid $13 billion in fraud settlements got a 74% raise. Iran-Contra: A Lieutenant Colonel took the fall. The President pardoned the witnesses 11 days before his own trial testimony. The institution prosecutes at the lowest rank, at the lowest cost, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409K is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised. I wrote the full investigation. 33 footnotes. 60 years of receipts. gothburz.substack.com/p/five-charges…

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late. The right stack is always taller. On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN. I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS. The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881. He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts." I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes. The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200. I waived it. I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness. Let me show you what I processed this year. January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%. February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed. March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file. I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again. In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not. I want to tell you about the soldier again. He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in. In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on: Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee. Defense appropriations they voted on. Trade policy they negotiated. Pandemic response measures they drafted. Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public. None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012. Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases. My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that. The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop. She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed. I want to tell you about the fine. $200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk. Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself. On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office. The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year. The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million. The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write. He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million. The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised. In my field, we call this self-regulation. The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate. Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return. I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process. As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice. There is no “justice” when guys like this get the book thrown at him yet members are illegally profiting every day. I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.

So is the DOJ going to arrest members of congress for insider trading? Because if not this seems awfully hypocritical. Just saying.

@tesla_na You should do school busses! Think of how many kids could be saved 🤔

We’re enabling 50k+ US government & higher ed agencies to save thousands of $$$ in operating costs for their vehicle fleet over time through our new contract with Sourcewell, the nation’s largest government purchasing cooperative of its kind sourcewell-mn.gov/cooperative-pu…

@US_OGA Us non-panicans know 😉🤫. Love your quick wit, by the way 😁

Its almost like there is a plan in place....

@SecKennedy Let me at the nursing homes 🤔

We have a sick care system where people get compensated more for keeping patients sick. We need to align the economic incentives with the outcome of good health for all Americans.

@USDS You guys are the best thing to happen to this country in a long time ❣️

We’ve been helping millions of students access financial aid without fighting broken systems. Dragging decades-old healthcare infrastructure into this century. Making it easier for veterans to get appointments. Moving veteran disability decisions faster so people aren’t waiting forever. Turning eligibility into something that can be verified instantly. Fixing workflows that used to collapse under their own weight. Building a usable provider directory so enrollment isn’t a guessing game. Putting AI tools in the hands of federal staff so work doesn’t take 10x longer than it should. Eliminating paper-based processes that should have been retired a generation ago. And running to deploy apps that give patients faster access to their data, help them manage chronic conditions, and navigate care more easily. In case you were wondering.

@Kekius_Sage Truth

What do you think about true currency?

Not one nice comment on this asinine post 🤣🤣🤣. How about this: making us pay taxes when the government is KNOWINGLY funding the fraud, is not only immoral and unjust, but it's downright illegal 🤔

@WhiteHouse Stop lying to us.
