.@SenWarren All of our assets are invested in a blind trust by the largest financial institutions in broad market indexes. To suggest that individual stocks are being bought or sold, at the discretion of any member of the Trump family, would be a lie and blatantly false. Using a silly example, if you buy the “Schwab 1000,” you will get some exposure to Nvidia - as well as a 1,000 other U.S. companies large- and mid-cap stocks. It’s completely disingenuous to represent anything to the contrary. Please be better than this…

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.” Congress makes $174k. Median income is about $63k. Minimum wage is $7.25. If your “public servant” needs Wall Street crime to survive, that’s not a government, that’s a cartel. Welcome to neo-feudalism. You’re the peasant, they’re the aristocracy.

Mike Johnson: We're going to allow members of Congress to participate in insider trading because $174,000 a year, every other week off, free family healthcare and free meals is not enough".


So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable. Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it. There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done. And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?

10,000 veterans recently lost their homes. 90,000 more are next. Trump says he can’t afford to save them. But he has no problem spending money for a White House ballroom. You don’t get to salute the flag while throwing veterans into the street to pay for your chandeliers.

Gym is a traitor to his wrestling teammates


“We should ashkually let Congress commit insider trading so they can supplement their incomes.” Have we lost our minds?
