[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An Alabama senator was forced to donate her husband's stock profits after the couple missed the deadline to report the transactions.
Republican Senator Katie Britt, 43, filed a periodic transaction report with the Senate Ethics Committee on Monday, revealing the delayed disclosures.
The report revealed that 22 stock transactions from the retirement account belonging to her husband, former NFL player Wesley Britt, were overdue, totaling between $22,000 and $330,000.
Senate reporting guidelines only require a dollar range, and the exact amounts of each transaction are unknown.
At least 16 of the transactions were more than half a year past a 45-day federal deadline, and the remaining six were several weeks past their due dates, reported NOTUS.
The transactions include an April 14 purchase of between $1,000 and $15,000 of Chase stock made in an account owned by her husband.
Britt serves on the Senate Banking Committee, and the Chase stock is up nearly 30 percent since the purchase, according to AL.com.
The Senate Ethics Committee requires periodic transaction reports to be filed within 45 days when at least $1,000 of a stock or other security is purchased, sold or exchanged.
Britt's office told AL.com she had 'no knowledge of that stock holding,' and that the stock is no longer in her husband's account.
'Upon learning of it, she requested the stock be unloaded from the account to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest,' her office said.
'At this time, Mr. Britt no longer owns that stock, and all proceeds from the transaction are being donated to charity.'
Making the problem go away, I guess.
A spokesperson for Britt also told the Daily Mail that the trade was made without Wesley's knowledge.
'These individual equity trades were in Mr. Britt’s broker-managed retirement account and made without his knowledge or consent,' the spokesperson said.
'The disclosure was filed as soon as Mr. Britt became aware of the trades this month. Additional guardrails have been implemented to prevent this from happening moving forward.'
Britt has been considered a rising star in the Republican Party since she took office in 2022 as the youngest woman ever elected to the United States Senate.
[FoxNews] Longtime Democratic consultant James Carville says Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker could potentially be his party's best choice to lead Democrats to victory in the 2028 presidential election.
And Carville, who first gained national attention over three decades ago as the chief strategist for former President Bill Clinton's 1992 White House victory, argues that former Vice President Kamala Harris doesn't have a shot at winning the next Democratic presidential nomination.
The 2028 Democratic nomination battle in the race to succeed term-limited President Donald Trump is expected to draw a crowded and competitive field.
"If I had to say one guy... I'd take JD Pritzker," Carville said this week
I think it’s a brilliant idea. I think the Democrats should spend the usual hundreds of million dollars, maybe even approaching a billion, running that particular candidate for president. Here’s hoping he doesn’t have health issues along the way, because that would take all the fun out of it for everybody.
in a sit-down interview with Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo on his 'Arroyo Grande' podcast. Carville was asked which Democrat he could see carrying the flag into 2028.
The billionaire governor, a member of the Pritzker family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain and who has started several of his own venture capital and investment startups, is running this year for a third term to steer Illinois.
And Pritzker, who has become a leading voice in the Democrats' opposition to Trump and has taken steps to Trump-proof his solidly blue state, has made a handful of trips in recent years to the key early voting states in the race for the White House.
Carville noted that Pritzker "campaigns hard."
No doubt.
Asked about whether he could see Harris as the party's standard-bearer in 2028, Carville responded, "She has no chance."
Harris replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee after Biden dropped his bid in July of that year, a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump. Harris ended up losing the general election to Trump, who narrowly swept all seven key battleground states.

Carville is old and white, nobody listens to him.
One of the Dems problems is they fired all the hypercompetent Jewish people who kept the party together and replaced them with DEI hires and wide Latinas.
They can't tell us what a woman is but we need Harris to be the first woman president.

JB Pritzker is not winning the presidency. From a red state voter perspective, JB is associated with one of the worst of the commie mob strongholds. His family has enriched themselves with an NGO dynasty. As Minnesota corruption unfolds this will be more and more relevant to voters. On the other hand, it would be interesting to see him go head to head with Chris Christie in a pie eating contest.

Carville says Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker could potentially be his party's best choice
Talk about damning with faint praise, but this is probably true. Pritzker may be awful, but can you think of any possible condidates on the Dem side who are not demonstrably even more worser?
Sens. Ted Budd, R-N.C.,
Ron Johnson, R-Wis.,
Mike Lee, R- Utah,
Ashley Moody, R-Fla.,
Rand Paul, R-Ky.,
Rick Scott, R-Fla., and
Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.
– was an unexpected development.
Schumer's caucus demands removal of Homeland Security funding from broader spending bill
Senate Democrats stayed true to their threat by blocking a behemoth funding package, but in a surprising turn of events, they were joined by several Senate Republicans to derail the legislation.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus made it no secret that they would obstruct the government funding process over the last several days, demanding that Republicans strip the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill from the six-bill package.
But the defection of seven GOP lawmakers – Sens. Ted Budd, R-N.C., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Mike Lee, R- Utah, Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rand Paul, R-Ky., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. – was an unexpected development on Thursday.
Senate Democrats are willing to support the five other bills in the package, however, and have reiterated that bundle would easily pass if given the chance.
"Democrats are ready to avert a shutdown," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee.
"We have five bills we all agree on. About 95% of the remaining budget. It is ready to go," she continued. "We can pass those five bills, no problem. All Leader Thune has to do is tee them up for a vote."
But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., sought to call their bluff and barreled forward with the key test vote, which would have opened up several hours of debate and eventually a final vote to send the package to President Donald Trump's desk.
Ahead of the vote, Thune said he hoped that conversations between the White House and Senate Democrats would produce the "the votes that are necessary to get it passed."
Thune threw cold water on Senate Democrats' several demands for reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) making their way into the current package, too.
"That's not going to happen in this bill, but there are, I mean, there's a path to consider some of those things and negotiate that out between Republicans, Democrats, House, Senate, White House," Thune said. "But that's not gonna happen in this bill."
With the six-bill package, which included major funding bills for the Pentagon and other agencies, now scuttled, Senate Republicans and the White House are looking for a plan B to keep the government open or to at least minimize the damage from a partial shutdown.
One option gaining momentum among Republicans would be to strip the DHS funding bill from the broader package, advance the smaller, five-bill bundle and then turn to a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), for just Homeland Security.
And there are ongoing negotiations among Senate Democrats and the White House on that particular idea.
A White House official told Fox News Digital in a statement, "President Trump has been consistent — he wants the government to remain open, and the Administration has been working with both parties to ensure the American people don’t have to endure another shutdown."
"A shutdown would risk disaster response funding and more vital resources for the American people," the official said.
But taking that route presents several hurdles and challenges, particularly with the House out until next week.
That’s because any modification to the current six-bill package would require the lower chamber to agree to it. The same is true for any CR that the Senate produces for DHS.
