Same as it ever was. This isn't new. This is why they all run for office. Pelosi and Schumer have enriched themselves as well.

Your cynicism is completely understandable. However, if there's only one issue that propels you to your polling station, let it be the fuckery wrought on HHS by RFK Jr. Please vote as if your life depends upon it, because it does now with that crackpot making health decisions for us all.

Yeah, I never miss an election, and I haven't voted for a Republican ever. That doesn't mean I won't call out the shitty Democrats in office.

Same. I’m so sick of these Bluesky scolds who think insider trading is a crime for everyone but Nancy Pelosi.

Where does the $40M figure come from?

AuntBunny posted that. I've found numbers ranging from 5 to 8 million. Which puts her pretty low in comparison to other members who are way above that. Still, insider trading should be illegal for all members.

I’m not trying to defend her (or anyone else in congress) at all. Just that people find these numbers & most of the sites are completely wrong. Your numbers make more sense, but yeah, none of them should be allowed to trade on the info they get. Looooooong past time to put a stop to that!

And the exact reason we need to overturn 2010 Citizens United. Money out of politics. It's the only way. Right now it's a rigged system and we all know it.

And some kind of professional standards for members of the supreme court. No idea what the mechanism should be but the corruption there now is egregious.

That was always the bastion of right and wrong. Politics was, for the most part, left on the curb. Not anymore. Justices are for sale like members of Congress. I never thought I would ever see this level of corruption and bias coming from the courts. We need to fix this ASAP.

Check this out. We may have a chance of actually getting rid of it before long. This guy on the right has been working on it w/ a team of dedicated lawyers who've gotten state legislations to sign on to passing a constitutional amendment. It's got bipartisan support youtu.be/QfpNpzq-dhk

Accumulating that amount of money doesn’t happen overnight; longevity breeds corruption.

With term limits in place, stock trading should still be banned.

Agree, that goes hand in hand with term limits. Left up to We the People to determine via referendum; not Congress.
