Republican Congresswoman Failed to Properly Disclose 170 Trades Worth Up to $13.6M Dozens of those trades came in the form of stock sales made on March 18, when key details of Trumpโ€™s tariff policies were disclosed.

Rep. Sheri Biggs was weeks or months late disclosing more than 170 stock, treasury bill and corporate security trades made by her husband, Bill Biggs.

Say it with us: Ban congressional stock trading.

Fascists hate being mocked. They want footage of people confronting and fighting ICE. Don't give it to them.

The TRO in Chicago Headline Club v. Noem:
- (mostly) no targeting of journalists or ordering crowds to disperse
- restrictions on use of less-lethal munitions
- two warnings before use of riot control weapons
- must wear ID and uniform (or similar)

Remember the names. Making a list is helpful and necessary going forward. If any of these folks run for office in the future, they need to be called out by name.

This is what someone who knows their base says in order to save their career. She's in a +19(R) district, and in this political climate where Democrats are decisively winning seats in Alaska, Virginia, Arizona and possibly North Carolina, she can't afford to lose support.

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epsteinโ€™s financial records The decision to shut down the House โ€” and by extension the government โ€” came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Congress finally got Epsteinโ€™s financial records, and right after that, Speaker Mike Johnson shut the House down. The timing looks shady as hell like they donโ€™t want anyone digging too deep or asking the wrong questions. Whether itโ€™s coincidence or cover-up, it sure doesnโ€™t feel like transparency.

โ€œthe rising number of veterans receiving VA disability compensation isnโ€™t a story about widespread abuse or fraud; Itโ€™s a story about our nationโ€™s continuing efforts to keep the promise to those who have served during multiple wars over the course of generations.โ€
