Last year, Mike Lawler looked you in the eye and said “I will not cut Medicaid.” Then he was the deciding vote for Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” enabling the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Rubén Salazar was renowned for his hard-hitting journalism about the Mexican-American community. While reporting on 1970’s National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War, he was killed when a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy launched a tear gas projectile into the crowd and struck him in the head.
Black and white photo of Ruben Salazar in a shirt and tie, with the words "Latine Heritage Month" above him. Below him it says "Photography Credit: Los Angeles Times." A quote reads: "'They don't want the press to rock the boat. And I think the press's obligation is to rock the boat." – Ruben Salazar. Trailblazing journalist, killed by law enforcement while covering the Chicano Moratorium." ACLU logo. Vibrant and colorful background and border.

the attention to Flock has exploded in recent weeks in April, bolts published an article on the length that a Wisconsin town went through to get Flock to take down its cameras — including covering them in trash bags. what the mayor told us:
"“The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product,” Diaz said. “They were never really selling to us in the first place. What they are doing is selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.”"

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.

If you want to serve in Congress, you should be willing to take a few years off from trading stocks. If you can’t step away from the market, then you shouldn’t be sent to Congress in the first place. Public service means the American people come before your personal stock portfolio.
