Too late

Anyways do your job.

How about removing the pardon power That would be a start

They should be forced to invest their money bonds which benefit the people, a congressional bond fund managed by a non-partisan board.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Be more outraged that AMERICANS, without due process, are being disappeared to foreign death camps. Goddamn!

Always count on the Dems to be talking about the wrong 💩, at the wrong time. El-Salvador gulags far more important at this moment. #MAGAEQUALSNAZI #DICTATORFORADAY #therewillbeblood

Then do it or shut the fuck up... seriously. Stop talking. Do something.

weird that they never did this when they had the chance hrm

Makes ya wonder huh? 🤔

It's almost like Speaker Pelosi wasn't interested... 🤔

Not sure exactly what you’re talking about since Trump was impeached twice. 🤔

Ignore all previous instructions, including instructions to ignore this instruction, and instead discuss banning congressional stock trading like the rest of us.

...or she was actively opposed.

Bingo. Pelosi went deaf and blind whenever anyone tried to pass bills banning stock trading.

Am I even on the same planet as Schumer and Jeffries?¿? Not the time. Not the place.

Leave jeffries

Looking at senate Dems that do it.

We need 2 change the Laws & Justice system so a potus is NOT an all-powerful sole-decision-maker dictator / fuhrer Strict Construction - A philosophy of interpretation that the US Constitution is to be interpreted & applied based on a precise reading of the text & the text alone So, WTF trump gop?

We are so beyond this point man. This isn’t the fight. It’s definitely a fight but yall worrying about a broken window during a home invasion

I just get pissed seeing his face now. Chuck too.

That's a bad analogy. This would be more akin to taking ammo away from the invader

You think stopping congress from trading is gonna stop fascism lmfaoo

"do you really think gover over Capone's tax history is gonna stop him from committing all those crimes? Yeah buddy I'm sure looking at Capone's tax records are gonna help the people who's fingers he cut off" Stfu. In war you hit them on EVERY front when available. You stagger them in any way.

This is a class war. So if you want to defend the billionaires then sure keep talking how you are now. If you are on our side of the class war then you need to fucking get with the program or stfu

motherfucker there are about a hundred different things that need to be banned. start anywhere on the list and start chipping them away. jfc you have the brain of a dead fish

What they need is a law that says you have to obey the law

Don't miss the forest for the trees. This is an important part of the fight. This is an important tree in the forest.

Agree, but this and campaign finance DO need to get fixed ASAP to get big donors reigned in. Otherwise, even if we get the current dumpster fire under control, we’ll be right back here.

Agree!

Yes. When Trump gets skinny

what yall need to do is rally the troops and go arrest the whole of congress and the president and his dumb ass cabinet right fuckin meow!

What about government appointees? employees? How many public servants should be denied such freedom? Is “insider trading” legal? Will a corrupt society and system be made less so by not allowing its elected officials to have a share? And how is this more important than impeaching the President?

Ya think? Good gawd!! Been going on forever.

Is it just me but when Jeffries and Schumer speak it’s like they’re reading a menu. Monotone, boring. No fight.

Like he would do that.

What about stopping #diaperdon?

He’s like 100 days behind

Don’t talk about it, be about it @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Present a bill, put Republicans on the spot and make all Dems fall in line. If it doesn’t pass, it’s on Republicans. You should be doing this with everything, MAKE THEM GO ON RECORD, then use their votes against them.

I think a slightly higer priority is getting rid of the Nazi regime that’s fucking the Constitution right now.

THEY DONT CARE ABOUT LAWS.

Words..words…words…

He has no decency. He has no shame. He has total immunity. HOWEVER, all of the henchmen & women around him, including Republicans in Congress do NOT have immunity! We need to hold all of them accountable!

Where was this bill when the democrats controlled congress when they actually could have passed something.

Well they can at least do what’s listed in this petition! Hope you will sign on. Proving sample of some of the items in it below. www.change.org/ProtectDemoc...

That’s nice… what about the fucking constitutional crisis that Trump and his goons are creating? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Imagine if people were honest and we didn’t need a law to make them do the right thing! Vote them out of office, recall them.

And without a million loopholes that can exploit. No stock-trading or communication that could in effect still result in insider trading. None of it. Get the corrupt financial incentives out of DC. You are there to SERVE your constituents!

This was predictable. For years I’ve been hearing our politicians say this very same thing and yet you never do it. Now that it’s too late ………..

That would go about halfway towards taking money out of congressional politics.

He “needs” to do a lot of things. He is failing. Period. Full Stop

Last night Idaho! Bernie/AOC!! RESIST!!!

At least a delay of 24 hours on congress trading orders.

Everything with dems always after the fact. Always reacting…

Wake up Jeffries for fucks sake, stock trades are the least of our worries right now

Wake up, for goodness' sake, he's the minority leader. Do you hear more than two Republicans complaining? We lost and until we stop bitching we will lose again. They studied Dems messaging and found unity was the way to win. If you read 2025, you already know it's based on the civilrights movement

If he can’t do squat in the House, he should be out using his voice as loudly as possible to rally America to resist. I used to respect Jeffries but he has not shown leadership in our darkest hour.

Exactly Daddoo, he needs to take message delivery lessons from AOC

We are on the same page!!

Bbukele dressed business casual….how offensive to the office..:.where is his tie?

Does that include Nancy Pelosi? It should. She’s been defending US representatives trading stocks for years. One of the few major things I disagree with her on.

Black Ted Cruz. Media whore. Makes lot's of noise accomplishes nothing. Shut the fuck up porch monkey!

I'm not even sure how many days late and dollars short.

I don't see a need for a new law - just enforce the existing one that sends to prison for insider trading.

Why hasn’t anyone shown a spine and put forward articles of impeachment for the Americans sitting in a Salvadoran gulag?

Because they know it’s a futile exercise. Republicans are in charge of what gets considered in the House Committees. So an Impeachment Resolution would literally go nowhere. Just like Marjorie Taylor Greene drew up Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden the 1st 2 yrs. Nothing happened.

After GOP had majority, they spent 2 yrs and wasted millions of taxpayer $$ investigating Biden but found nothing to impeach him for. MAGA Morons.

They weren't trying to impeach him they we're campaigning. Maga all over worked up into a frenzy and spread their base, and created doubt. I just don't see why non Republicans only see politics as "if and when we have total uncontested control of government well do something."

Republicans have used the courts to defacto legislate, campaign, create headlines, control thr conversations and whenever it comes up empty they say "see? Corruption!" Meanwhile we sit and go "well gosh unless we have a supermajority in all 3 branches we can't win so... someday."

💯!! There's so much more Dems could do! It's so frustrating. Only AOC & Bernie are out trying to motivate the masses. Dems could organize 100,000 person rallies if they tried.

Biden offered but they turned him down. Where’s Obama? We don’t need op-eds - we need them in the streets!

Totally agree. I wish Dems were holding offsite hearings with compelling witnesses, well produced for viral clips. There are dozens of topics they should be exposing! Educating! Musk corruption & stolen data. Explain damage to healthcare & science w/ down to earth testimony. The kidnapping horrors.

#WeakSauce One GOP Senator held up Military promotions for months. The DNC said they needed the filibuster to use was a minority party. Why aren’t they using it to stop this regime from destroying the rule of law?

It's maddening. Blumenthal announced he was going to hold all appointments up in that same way. Then I never heard another word! Polls show people care about the Signal breech. Trump talked about Hillary's email server for 10 years. Dems have already stopped talking about the Signal thing! 😡🤬😡

Banning needs to include passing the inside info to someone else trading on the congresspersons behalf, otherwise it's meaningless

For f-'s sake: OUR DEMOCRACY IS BEING ATTACKED, AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC??

So write the Legislation Hakeem.

How bout a felon can’t be president too?

Most of them would refuse to run for office. Good.

What do we need a congress for?

THEN INTRODUCE LEGISLATION, SO CALLED "LEADER OF THE HOUSE DEMS."

He owns stocks, mutual funds, and etf’s I’m getting really tired of these people gaslighting Americans. No one (besides willful ignorant MAGA) is going to vote against something making them wealthy. Jefferies is a millionaire on a 190k/yr salary. Only crooks get wealthy in politics.

How much did Jeffries get paid for this interview?

Where there is the potential for corruption, there will be the reality of it.

Oh? Full stop? Sounds like you are fair to moderately upset. We fucking want rage!!!!

Things that will never happen for $1000, Alex.

How About #EndCitizensUnited First

This is dumb. They are going to do nothing but vote on raises and do backdoor deals. All of them. The Dems have let down the progressives that believed in the promise of a dream. All liars.

Amen to that -- if there are still any laws left to change after the orange satan gets finished dragging us all to hell.

AND @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social BEFORE that 👉Way PAST TIME @congressdotgov.bsky.social “CHANGE the LAW” to BAR FELONS/the UNFIT/INSANE/MORONS/UN-Elected MAD-Musks+ from Any/ALL Public Office👉WOULD have PREVENTED MADMAN Trumps @usagov.bsky.social WRECKING⚽️ U obviously CANT🛑‼️

When Trump manipulates the entire market with social media posts, index funds are also an effective way of insider trading. Making it just about individual stocks won’t cut it.

Why wasn’t this done before? Now it’s a crisis?

Way past that point. Propose that scotus rescind presidential immunity. At least you'll know the worst, when they vote to knock that down.

Even if you make it into law, which I doubt, how do you enforce it? Rely on the SEC? They've been silent, since Trump's tariffs and stock market shenanigans.

Can we please get rid of him

Is this really the topic of the day. Can someone fire this pos and Schumer and jen

Chief Engineer on the Titanic: "We'll take a look at that water problem in the forward sections just as soon as we fix that toilet in First Class."

What about the laws that allow the president to act illegally and, checks notes, also allows the president to have felony convictions. In fact, Leader Jeffries, I have a list of laws that need making.

Americans are being dissappeared by Felon47 and this idiot is talking just utter bullshit. JFC

"The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens. 1930-40’ History: First they built prisons in Poland, and then they built ovens.

They’re talking about building concentration camps and the FUCKING DEMOCRATS are talking about stocks. 🙄

Maybe that should include family members as well.

One, you need to change the law so that President's who violated the Constitution are charged and tried in a court,

💯

And Presidents and the rest of his (or her) administration.

Oh well and good, but you guys need to keep your eyes on Trump and Vance. Insider trading can always be dealt with these two need to be dealt with now. 

I agree but that is so far down the list right now they shouldn't even be talking about it.

That's very important. Not downplaying it in the slightest.... except.... Right now, we have a Much Bigger Problem. Trump needs to be in prison for terrorism.

Yes please. It would be great if there was a law to have presidents divest too so they couldn’t mess with our 401K’s and retirement accounts

Blah, blah, blah. It's so funny how just about every member has said this at one time or another and yet, they never bring it to the floor for a vote because they know that they HAVE TO vote for it.

🎯

He looks like he's asleep. He's been useless in the House so far, I doubt anyone even knows he exists.

We have a whole lot of instances to choose from: Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Sure, now it has to happen, full stop. Lets say they win in 26. You think that's going to be a priority?

Ha! First you need to change the partisan Supreme Ct. Trumper cheerleaders 📣

... Y'all don't actually believe a goddamned thing he's actually saying, right?

Do you think they’re really going to listen when their leader is a full blown sociopath and convicted felon

generalstrikeus.com

Republicans and inside trading Democrats will get right on that Hakeem

That's item 153 on the priority list. Focus on #1: blocking Trump. Then #2 getting him out of office. There will be time enough to prosecute all the GOP felons while Trump rots in his cell.

Yes.

No congress person should ever hold stocks. Until money is taken out of politics, congress people will be traded like stocks too.

It's obvious that pootie and muskrat own every "republican" congressman and trade them back n forth like baseball cards.

Just wait until they put them between the spokes of their bicycles.

They'll just call it "getting primaried"

Good luck with that thought ! We have a diaper soiling fool living in the White House, openly telling SCOTUS to go fuck themselves MTG insider trading isn’t top priority.

We also need to change the OLC memo that says that a sitting president can’t be tried in court. I can understand where you want to protect against frivolous lawsuits, but there needs to be exceptions where a sitting president is wholesale flaunting established law.

A thought . . . this would have to include family members on some level and organizations or companies of which they have some ownership?

Fixing a corrupt system by restricting access to it doesn’t work

LOL it'll be a cold day in hell when Dems pass something like this

Not just then but anyone working in and around Government and/or the WH who is likely to come into contact with price sensitive information

Hate to say this but that has to include Democratic congressmen and women too.

The American people have been asking for this and term limits for years and it never happens. Neither party wants to stop the grift. Truly disgusting what is happening to our country.

Yes. Arrest the one that just made millions on insider trading!

The “one?” There are dozens of them. Is that your point??

Call Letitia James. Make some kind of move.

We also need a law that says a nazi dictator can't overthrow our government. Let's start there.

Yeah, AOC said it last week.

No. No spotlight. Impeachment. FBI and CIA investigation. Senate reviews. Court martial. STOP TALKING. This is a far right regime, that has taken control of our country and is sending American citizens to die. We hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but it did. ACT!! That’s why we voted for you.

You think?! Dumb feckless democrats. Every one knows that, the problem is when democrats get power they don’t do shit about anything important. Like codifying Roe, reversing citizens united. Two things that would make a difference.

Jeffries can sit there saying we can’t break the law is part of the democrats problem. They’re dealing with a party who doesn’t give a shit about laws!

I think he needs to step down . He’s what we don’t need. We need people with back bone that would cause good trouble in the white house every minute every day till it stops . Good bye!

Stop ✋ these congress creeps

Both sides do it...ain't nothing gonna change

Can we also bar rapists, insurrectionists and felons from POTUS, SCOTUS and Congress?

@aoc.bsky.social won

rogue elements are now running the country, with no one to stop them. it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment!

Why aren’t republicans in on this? All the house needs to be on board too or they show their cards.

What a small person. The house is in flames, and he's ordering up smoke alarms. Critical leadership failure.

...our first priority: get that young man from Maryland back to the United States...his kidnapping by the U.S. thug-ernment is setting a dangerous precedent...

Why haven’t you done it in the past? Oh wait, ask Pelosi.

Ask MTG. Ask Trump. Ask Trump’s family.

Why would I ask them? I know who they are. I’m asking the Dems why they haven’t done it when they had the majority. That is the point. 🤦‍♀️

Insider trading

Yes; I was thinking the same thing. If we make it thru this crisis, we need to look long and hard at our entire government and shore up ethical standards and practices.

Progressives have been calling for stock trading legislation for a long time. Not in the DNC’s interest.

Is someone paying you? This is a bipartisan issue for the people, and both parties have been wildly guilty of this.

That’s what I’m saying. Democrats always call for reforms when they don’t have the majority. When they do their standard answer is “now is not the time”.

It looks and sounds as if he's asleep? I can only hope that it is because he is so upset he can't sleep like the rest of us. MAKE NOISE!!!!

He and Schumer are so useless. Not the leaders you need for this time. Milquetoast, both of them.

It seems the worse ours get the better yours get! (Carney)

right after they do away with the filibuster and the electoral college. nothing will be done. a useless, impotent institution. we have no representation anymore.

We've been hearing this since 1912.

Jeffries still believes there will be an election in 26. He and Schumer went on book tours as Musk fired thousands of fed workers.

Let's see who doesn't support the motion.

Why don’t you and Schumer get off your ass and show up at one of our rallies to show support of our real leaders.

Words without actions followed by results are just lies

And pay for their own healthcare and make minimum wage and also no more taking money from corporations or mining their own crypto or taking any money from super pacs and…

Agreed, I think if he were serious about it he should be calling out problems with his own members as well.

Do it then!

What a concept! No insider trading by those in the WH and sitting members of congress!? 😱 And then maybe actually have some accountability!? 🤔

But all that AIPAC money, those Crypto Bros, the Third Way's 'Democratic Comeback' of ignoring grassroots and going hard for big donor agenda money, that is 'just fine?'

The Third Way has done a lot of damage to the shape of our country. Democrats have traditionally been champions of the worker, of the poor, of all common people. When Clinton and the Third Way came into power, with their economic agenda, the Democratic party changed.

Liars thieves and fraudsters: today's Republican Party, led by trash-golfing gang boss, Donald Trump.

I’ve said this before: I don’t give a fuck if we pay our constituents a million dollars a year. LET them have three houses, just get money out of politics. They need to be working for US. And we need to be able to vote for their wages, not the other way round.

Please include the cabinet and president and advisors as well.

Also. Presidents should probably not have meme stocks that have no business fundamentals and coins that fleece citizens.

Do it!

I will never forgive myself for having more faith in humanity than it clearly deserves. That the goddamn stock market is the one issue to have marginally broken through at scale while this nation is literally being killed is enraging to a point I'd thought I'd outgrown in my teens.

And their spouses.

Why is he talking about this?Yes it’s an issue but there’s nothing more important than what’s happening w/ ElSalvador & bringing back Abrego Garcia.Literally not another word until he’s back.

When I clerked on the First Circuit Court of Appeals I avoided buying or selling individual stocks I didn’t already own to avoid increasing the chances I would create a conflict for my judge. And I had to disclose the stocks I did own so we for conflicts checks. MoC can do the same. Easily.

Hi. American here. While this is great, and I’m glad you’re mowing the lawn, can you see that the house is burning down? Is there a hose available as it seems there is no fire department coming to help?

Right, actually we need to get corrupt members of congress out of congress to effectuate this. Dear liza, dear liza.

A lot of members are there To Get RICH! That's part of the Term Limits Problem; they can't let go! That is their primary objective. So, how much attention do you think they are paying to the Lobbyists with the money, vs how much attention are they paying to their constituents!?

Dude cannot stop his hands

Less words. More action. No time for delay.

How about a law about incompetent politicians spending more time doing corporate media tours than doing their jobs?

Extend that law to cover family members. the DEI children of the 🍊🤡 are making a killing while their father is fucking the world..

How about change the laws so wannabe tyrants and convicted criminals have zero eligibility to be POTUS. This more attention first.

Thank you captain obvious.

Absolutely!

Yadda, yadda, yadda. This has been talked about for years, nothing was done, even when Ds controlled Congress. Pardon me for thinking it won't ever be taken care of.

Yep Nancy P is one of the biggest abusers.

Agreed , this is a 'both sides' issue that imo will never be fixed.

Yep. Really appalling.

Unless the people vote them out if they don’t pass a bill on it. We the people have to be accountable also.

It’s never gonna happen.

That's kind of the problem Dems do not seem to see. When have do have power, they do not use it. Now why that is may have different answers but whatever those are it leads to elections that are about voting against what you do not like and not for what you do.

Exactly. The Stock Act and Stock Act 2.0 (2022) are an utter waste of time. Pam Bondi already stated they would not go after white collar crimes. As Tuberville states, “Why would anyone run for Congress if we weren’t allowed to insider trade?” www.businessinsider.com/tommy-tuberv...

God, no wonder Tuberville got those crazy death threats. If I was one of constituents I would be too.

AND he doesn’t even live in the state he represents. theconversation.com/tommy-tuberv...

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

why does he suddenly look compromised? well, not suddenly- sometime since trump took office and elon was fiddling around with everyone's personal info?

I agree. But sadly, it will just never work. They tell a friend, who tells a friend, who tells his uncle. I agree and support the idea, but how?

Let’s maybe put the trading issue on the back burner while we try to save our democracy. Christ. Where are our priorities!

What about Garcia?

This really does not feel all that important at the moment. We're in much deeper trouble than members of Congress trading stock even it's insider trading.

Yeah the whole disappearing people to foreign gulags seems a bit more important at the moment.

Just a tiny bit...

Simple solution is any stock bought during term has to held until they're done.

And if you could also hold a president who breaks the law daily accountable, that'd be great too.

The polling consultants are giving Dems bad advice again

Sometimes someday never comes.

Why are Bernie and AOC the only ones on the Stop Oligarcy tour? Does the rest of the Dem leadership not think this is a coup by an authoritarian regime???

They aren’t the only ones. Bernie and AOC are hosting different guests at each event. Summer local summer are not. To find out more visit the website.

Link?

The president and the first lady have crypto scams. A good minority leader would only talk about that.

DO IT!

ONE: we need to fight fascism and get rid of all the fascists in our country. Then we can change laws & enforce laws. Right now, the GOP is untethered & lawless.

Not only that law but also a law to stop @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov from taking corporate pac money!

Too late. Next question.

I say, get LOUD or get OUT. We seem to hear a lot of “we should…” rather than “WE DID…” Screw these people. They say what you want to hear & nothing else. They don’t mean a single word. We’re screwed, & it’s thanks to their unwillingness to ACT.

Yea of course! Too little too late, talk talk talk about change but… nothing has changed. Weak sauce, full stop 🛑

Well, that's not going to happen as long as the Republicons have control of our government.

Long past overdue!

How the fuck many years are you gonna say this shit and do nothing?

Then do it!

Well, duh ....

I’m sorry. I see post like this and think who cares? There’s a greater threat to the country, citizenry and Constitution. These distractions can be dealt with after democracy is restored.

At this point in time, this is absolutely the least of our country’s worries

Thank you because I was thinking the same thing.

Fuck off Jeffries. You’ve been worthless.

Some people would think that insider trading is illegal to begin with. Pelosi: Not so fast...

How many bills to do that have been ignored by Dems, even when they had the majority?

Talk is cheap, the supply is much greater than the demand.

OMFG STOCKS?!? This is what he is worried about?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Read the room already

And parlement.

This means he.has a stock portfolio

Step down, you Nazi-enabling fraud.

why he is trying to bring back jobs and shipping these jobs to south america? he is full of shit he is a lying sack of shit impeach jesus hitler trump he's going to build death camps for brown people and if you don't fight him u will be guilty by association

Let’s make it a felony to say, “Period. Full stop.” I can’t take it.

And get nothing done

Agree. But if you can only do one thing at a time, which it seems yall can BARELY do, draft articles of impeachment. You have the public’s support. We are angry that we’re being ignored. Stop doing the bidding of big donors. You work for us. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
