When the system is rigged—our job is to protect the people. As Trump seeks to deregulate the stock market, gut the SEC, and make himself richer along the way—all we have to do is look at history to see what could happen. Because we all know what happened in 1929. That’s why…

If I could describe the GOP in only a few words this week, it would be, “chaos for days.” This is life under the Republican majority. Here’s your Friday update:
