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.

NEW INVESTIGATION from me:
There's a secretive, and frequently abusive unit of the NYPD that's tight w/ Mayor Eric Adams
How tight? Well, the unit's leaders bought special body-cams that can live-stream footage to select users. Then they gave access to the mayor

Yes to all of this, and: there’s no savings from laying these folks off because CONGRESS PASSED A SPENDING BILL TO PAY THEM and there’s no constitutional mechanism that lets the executive take back what Congress tells it to spend!
Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.
This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

This is a despicable revision of our history.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
