Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for January 19, 2026.

It appears Michigan Congresswoman Lisa McClain from the 9th congressional district is dealing with some more insider trading allegations. 

After being late on disclosing how she and her husband plugged-in around $900,000 in trades last year which included Peter Theil's Palantir, Lisa & her husband are in the news once again for more insider trading shenanigans. 

Just days before the Trump Regime's Pentagon announced plans to expand Elon Musk's xAI in the military, Lisa's husband apparently purchased between $100,000-$250,000 of the private xAI stock.

I'm sure it was just dumb luck.
