A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Listen to @PaulaPoundstone 🎧

Being president must be stressful. You know what’s even more stressful? Watching democracy unravel while people sit on their couches yelling at the news.

Despite Trump's economic claims, with rising tariffs, just 30% of Americans say they can meet their costs per a poll from Data for Progress.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism.

Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

Those Scottish Folks Know How To Stick Together! 47’s hatred of Solar Wind Pinwheels started in Scotland when the Country put them in eyesight of his Waterfront Golf Resort! He Sued (of course) and Lost!

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF

To me it’s not as terrifying as it is enraging. Gets me fired-up.

Multiple recent stories about CBP raiding cruise ships and detaining cruise workers who had valid work permits. Any theories about what's going on here?

Example 1, about cruise ships raided at the Port of Detroit: www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2025/07/18/customs-removes-crew-great-lakes-cruise-ships/85277919007/

The worthless members of the House of Representatives have started their summer break. House members work approximately 123 days a year. They make $174,000.00 a year. That means they make $1,414.63 for each day they work. The average American works 260 days and makes $66,622.00. That is $254.7 a day

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:

"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check.

Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected.
