I've NEVER traded individual stocks throughout my time in public office.
I signed the discharge petition to ban Congressional stock trading because public service isn't about profit. It's about trust. Speaker Johnson should bring this bill to the floor, and Donald Trump should sign it into law.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

Over the weekend I was listening to a NY Times podcast with Joe Manchin, Jeff Flake and Tina Smith.
Not even Manchin remembers the ACA was a compromise. He used it as an example of extremism to argue why an incremental approach should always be preferred.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
