While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

Too often anti-capitalist messaging is made less effective by the implication that life should be free but, unfortunately, there will always be a cost to life. What capitalism introduced is the "ever-inflating" aspect as well as individualizing that cost rather than collectivizing.

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
