Seven million and counting. Martin Bashir. Take Action. Both houses of Congress passed the STOCK Act, the bill that would stop congressional insider trading.
But the version that passed in the House is substantially weaker than the version that passed in the Senate. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) did his campaign funders on Wall Street a huge favor by including a loophole for lobbyists and hedge fund managers who trade on congressional insider information. We can defeat Cantor’s loophole, which would allow Wall Street’s minions to prowl the halls of Congress in search of insider info that can be turned to cash on the stock market. Show your support for a strong STOCK Act. Sign the petition to demand that Congress eliminate Cantor’s Wall Street insider trading loophole. We, the undersigned, call on Congress to send to the President’s desk a strong STOCK Act. Rachel Maddow Show.
US Running on Myths, Lies, Deceptions and Distractions. The United States is headed for a plutocratic dystopia where a few gated communities sit like islands amidst a sea of bitterness, misery, and want.
Why? Because the country is running on lies, myths, deceptions and distractions. Not surprisingly, they aren’t working very well for us. Let’s run through a few of the most destructive lies and myths. Corporations and the uber rich are the job creators: Uh, no. So why is it that these myths and lies – so easily disproven – persist. Here’s where the Democrats, distractions and the press’s malfeasance comes in. Republicans throw up a lot of flack to keep people from focusing on the fact that they’re basically getting screwed by the 1%.
It doesn’t help that Democrats are feeding at the same corporate trough. But the real culprit is the press – they’ve simply abrogated their responsibility to give people accurate, truthful information. We are now stuck with a media that puts “balance” or “objectivity” before truth. RealClearPolitics - Opinion, News, Analysis, Videos and Polls. Ex-CIA Head Defends Torture.
