Is there anything keeping the IRS from auditing Trump now?
A deep investigation into Jared Kushner needs to be implemented.
At this point, are we sure his name is really George Santos?
Democrat Ritchie Torres has introduced the SANTOS Act – a bill that would PUNISH candidates for lying about employment, educational, and military history.

The only difference between Covid and SouthWest Airlines is Covid is airborne.
Privatize the profit, socialize the risk. That’s why they all vote Republican.
Corporations get representation with little or no taxation so they can line the pockets of congress and dictate policy to taxpayers. Then collect subsidies and bailouts. It’s a Ponzi scheme.
@QasimRashid As @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M,& forced frontline workers to 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating their software. The @SouthwestAir debacle isn’t an accident. It isn’t random. It isn’t confusing. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.
In a just world SW execs would face criminal charges for corruption.
Lack of governance and clawbacks around the PPP and Federal bailouts is beyond criminal. Shame on TFG / Mnuchin crime family for insisting on extremely limited governance / no transparency. That said @POTUS admin haven’t done much of anything either. Get our taxpayer $$$ back. That is exactly why Mnuchin refused to allow any oversight of COVID relief funds. If an industry is so vital to society that it needs to receive billions in taxpayer subsidies and then uses those subsidies on stock buybacks and executive bonuses while exploiting workers and taxpayers, maybe that industry should be nationalized. And will pay out $100 million plus in dividend payments every 3 months in 2023. They basically got caught driving without and insurance and returning profits to shareholders that should of been reinvested in infrastructure to better serve customers, employees, and their culture. So many issues would be solved if stock buybacks were still illegal. It’s clearly stock manipulation too.
