BOMBSHELL: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) backed legislation that funneled millions to his wife’s environmental nonprofit, Ocean Conservancy.

She’s been paid nearly $2.7M while the group raked in $14.2M+ in federal grants—funded by bills Whitehouse voted for!

Now, an ethics watchdog is calling for an investigation into this blatant corruption.

Throw Whitehouse in the BIG HOUSE.

Next to Schiff and the Squad, he is perhaps the MOST self-entitled, arrogant and SMUG member of CONgress.

He's a real bad arse when he looks at you OVER THE TOP OF HIS GLASSES.. What a PR!CK.

We are still waiting for confirmation on the Pelosi story—the one source was not DOGE and may have been incorrect.

Prosecute him if he’s broken the law. But censure, humiliation, and resigning in disgrace would be acceptable.

You all thot it was insider trading. I always felt it was something else cuz grifters don’t like work and insider trading is work. And here it is. they all got pipelines to direct cash payments.
