🚨 NEW: Hawaii has passed legislation completely banning corporate spending in politics. The bill is the first of it’s kind, and deliberately designed to avoid the issues raised by Citizens United.

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading, but $15/hour is too much for everyone else. Every single fucking day these people prove how disconnected they are from normal Americans.

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.” - House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on lawmakers trading stocks.

Mike Johnson says Congress can't survive on $174k because of inflation, and uses that to justify letting members trade stocks. Incredible take from the guy who decided his only job was taking orders from the President.

Let’s normalize paying Congress only for the days they actually work, not a salary.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

Americans are leaving the U.S. in record numbers, per WSJ.
