No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

I can't believe that "oppose Trump, unreservedly, his criminality is bad, his policies are bad, they're hurting people in various ways, they're not even popular, don't praise them or him at all, just oppose" is such a controversial position among prominent national Democrats, but it apparently is.

Here’s my ask of you today:
I want you to engage with EVERY article/post you see about Signalgate. Like, comment, share. Every one.
The reason why the media kept talking about Hillary’s emails was because every story & post about it got massive engagement.
Sound good?

Turns out it wasn't DEI or trans servicemembers who put our security at risk, it was our unqualified Secretary of Defense.
The biggest issue here is that this happened and our servicemembers could have died.
The concerns we had about Sec. Hegseth's nomination were warranted. He should resign.
