Robert Reich's Bluesky posts today

Last edited Wed Mar 25, 2026, 04:27 PM - Edit history (1)

The SEC's top enforcer just quit after Trump-appointed agency leaders pushed her to go easy on Trump's family and donors, including Elon Musk and crypto mogul Justin Sun.

Trump's inner circle is raking it in at your expense — and his cronies are letting them get away with it.

115 years ago today, dangerous working conditions sparked the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, claiming the lives of nearly 150 workers.

Today, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration exists to prevent similar workplace tragedies — but Trump is gutting it at every turn.

No specifics. He just privately told me they were always being reported on and investigated. A lot of other businesses and billionaires do and they usually settle with a fine.

But, They never got Bernie Madoff despite reports on him as well. He supposedly was running an investment fund but never reported a 10k (annual financial report) or 10q (quarterly). You would think the SEC would have checked for that as well known as his company was.

There's also tons of fraud on the OTC market. Penny stocks. A lot of companies having websites with pictures and BS about products that don't exist. Most of them never reported because they rip off lots of day traders to the tune of $50 - $100 and most don't file complaints. Also, they are making promises of future product performance nd future contracts which if they never materialize, well they had their safe harbor statement and warning that some or all of your investment can be lost.

There's so many that there aren't enough people at the SEC to investigate it all. Same with IRS.
