    What’s the point of this program if the specific names aren’t listed or a source isn’t provided? I checked “Insider” and they wanted a subscription to list the lawmakers who are profiting from their political positions. Free news? Nope.

    I wish I could say this is shocking. It’s hard to hear, but not really shocking. It’s tragic and it hurts our country and our democracy. It hurts our well being in profound ways. Seems criminals run the country.

    The trouble is it's not just an American problem it happens all over the world , this is why the world is in such a mess, my dream would be to see the monetary system fail and it's going to because of these greedy selfish individuals in government across the world .

    They are the law makers who wrote the laws that gave themselves perks. Been going in for decades. Nice to see flaming liberals finding out their heroes are crooks.

    I don't get it. Federal employees have something called the Thrift Savings Plan with a half a dozen Bland Investments that mirror the S&P 500 or bond funds or government funds Etc. They're all bland non partisan and move a lot faster then the average stock picker.

    They should make them donate all the money they made to homeless or for disaster relief after all the tornadoes that hit over the last week.
    I would also kick them out of Congress.

    Politics With No Accountability Is Just Like Giving Domestic Terrorist Probation And "5" Years Imprison….. NOTHING ! ! Their Banking It And We Bet NOT In The U.S. Off Shore Accounts? Maybe like trump, China?

    Corruption is obviously an established part of US politics and most people think it is OK. What a strange union of greed and religion.

  22. @Me-sq9ol

    Not a surprise. Most politicians are in it for themselves. Another example of America failing.

    Why doesn’t this report name any specific members of Congress and list what stocks he/she owns?

    So much hyperbole, yet so little detail.

    Congress members and Senators are using their offices for Insider trading transactions just to enrich themselves. They don't represent the people anymore , only their Bank Accounts !!!

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    Yes they should definitely be banned from participating in the stock market.

    The other members of Congress are likely doing it as well. They are likely having a family member or a trusted acquaintance to do it for them.

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    I agree Pelosi is wrong about this. This is why our government is so corrupt. Dark money runs our government. It is a big club and we ain't in it. "George Carlin"

  32. @keeganpenney169

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    The problem is the fine is only $200 per violation, so as long as your profit is greater then the fine theres no real consequences. The fines should just be changed to $250,000 per violation.

  33. @user-tw6bj4xx1l

    Those Republican Party politicians and members of the House of Representatives and Senate who have breached, flouted, disavowed and violated their oath to defend the Constitution and the Republic against all enemies foreign and domestic have abrogated, abdicated and forefeited their right, jurisdiction and authority to anymore and any further lay claim to being lawful members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

    All such rogue Republicans merit and warrant to be thrown out of the Congress. They also deserve to be brought to book and indicted.

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    Insider trading, profiting from one's government position is illegal for anyone but Senators and Congresscritters? Get rid of the corrupt or we will lose any scintilla that remains of our U.S. Democracy. Pelosi, and so, so, many prominent elected worms of both parties are $lithering in corruption.

    Power, position, privilege. Is the foundation of politics.

    What is the definition of politics? It's a compound word: Poly, many : several : much. Tic: a blood sucking parasite. (Politicians: a bunch of blood sucking parasites.)

  40. @CycloneGU

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    There is no reason to let Members of Congress cheat the system. I now wonder if Pelosi is participating herself.

  41. @bruce-ruhldesign168

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    Pfizer, Moderna, J&J…..the vaccine companies? So, there is no conflict of interest in having the government forcibly make people vaccinate, dispite the growing body of evidence they are ineffective and cause harm to a lot of people? While the same body forcing the vaccinations profits? Where are my lawyers, cause sovereign immunity won't save them here…

  42. @michaelcase8574

    December 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    As they used to say that its not what's illegal in Washington that's shocking but what's legal. Always has been.

    Every member of Congress should be banned from trading for the duration of their time in Congress.

Trump suffers the consequences of poor staffing choices

Published

Jen Psaki looks at why Donald Trump is likely regretting staffing his administration based on culture war credibility rather than competence as FBI director Kash Patel’s antics appear to have reached critical mass, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is spending energy being upset about beards while being unable to end the war with Iran, and Vice President JD Vance is buying himself a multi-million dollar estate in the midst of a political season in which “affordability” is the biggest theme.
