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?

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or โ€” the alternative โ€” that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

Thereโ€™s No Such Thing as a Preventative MRI โ€” but Thereโ€™s Definitely Such a Thing as Political Bullshit Since 2005, Iโ€™ve had at least one MRI every single year of my adult life. I know MRIs the way other people know Spotify playlists or the McDonaldโ€™s menu.

When you ask how Germans became immune to the horrors of Nazism during the 30s, remember that this is now 2025 and this crap is being said in the greatest democracy on the planet.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

What weโ€™ve learned from the Trump admin is that if youโ€™re gonna crime, crime BIG!! But also in two steps: 1. Get into a white collar job or get elected to office (or both) 2. Pick a side crime of your choice: billion-dollar drug deals, insider trading, pumping and dumping digital currencies, etc!

Hegsethโ€™s โ€œresponse of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dadโ€”a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.โ€ (gift article)

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

5 polls that spell trouble for Donald Trump and the Republicans Polls show Trump approval is low, GOP unity is cracking, Hispanic support is eroding, and Democrats are gaining in red districts.

For those with MAGA friends and family, has anyone indicated which Trump policies have improved their lives? I'm genuinely curious. www.newsweek.com/5-polls-trou...
