According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
Oh, darn.

A federal network of shelters for โunaccompaniedโ immigrant children is run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which operates under DHS.
The # of arrests of ppl w/o criminal convictions has risen 585%; # of arrests of people w/o criminal convictions or charges has increased by 1,200%. ICE could track down ~500k immigrants who they claim have crim convictions & are removable but they prefer easy targets to meet arbitrary arrest quotas

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.
Yeah, that's not how germ theory or the immune system work. It's so easy to convince people when they don't have a solid foundation of critical thinking skills to fall back on.

Here are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost.
Thereโs no need for dog whistles anymore. The government of the United States now openly stands for bigotry. Itโs not just closing our borders; itโs targeting Americans. And depending on where you came from, you might be next.

In the personality cult of MAGA would any Cabinet officers be willing to move to invoke the #25thAmendment in the event of a major health episode of the president? In an administration that values loyalty over anything else, not declaring the president incapacitated is the ultimate loyalty test.

#25thAmendment
First came reports that Hegseth ordered a killing strike against defenseless men
Followed by Hegsethโs non-denial denial
Then Trump DIDNโT deny it-but said it wasnโt Hegseth
Now Karoline Leavitt ADMITS it-but says Admiral Bradley gave the order
One thing seems sure
Somebody is going down

When you give political criminals the power to wage war, expect war crimes.

If thereโs a theme to this moment, itโs this: the Trump regime is no longer simply corrupt, cruel, or incompetent. It is coming apart. And the people running it seem to understand that the only thing left to do is scream louder, hit harder, and hope the wreckage doesnโt land on them before January.
