Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

This is Rep. Clay Higgins. R-LA. He is the ONLY member of the House who voted to protect abusers, continue to traumatize survivors, and voted AGAINST releasing the #EpsteinFiles. Remember his face. Remember his name. History is watching.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

One verrrry important rule for federal-court practitioners is *never* do anything that causes the judge to be concerned

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.” We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out. Make your reps & senators back this.

Been looking at some things in the Epstein emails and came across him saying this to some unknown person: "There may be a video of kasshohgi [sic]. If so game over." Later, he called it "a video of them making Saudi sausage." They surmised that a video would make MBS a pariah.

I thought that too! How could she?

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

Everywhere I go in Minnesota, folks tell me the same thing: Healthcare is just too expensive. No one wins in our current system, except the insurance companies. It's time for Medicare for All.

@schumer.senate.gov — Everyone said, hold the line on the Govt funding for the subsidies, and you whipped 8 Dem votes from reps who weren’t up for reelection anyway— The failure is yours - we need new leadership

Is anyone surprised that Lindsey Halligan is the same woman incharge of the James Comey debacle? She sounds wildly unqualified every time she speaks.

I love the point @marisakabas.bsky.social makes about jumping to the head of the line by doing sensational “journalism” with questionable ethics. This has been a thing in sports media for a long time, as management thinks hiring influencers is the key to getting any more clicks.

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

If you know what striving for proximity to whiteness does to people, you already know what this is about. I don’t trust Marjorie Taylor Greene for even a split second. And before you hand her grace she has not earned, hear this gentleman first.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
