Trump's promise to ban members of Congress from owning and trading stocks feels like all talk and no action.
A bipartisan bill to accomplish this was introduced last year. Where is he on this?

Just a guy trying to write a novel and some short stories. Antifascist. Pro-Democracy. Market-savvy Progressive. DEI opposition is about ESG and racism.

On the day of Abrego's indictment, the district's criminal division chief Ben Schrader resigned.
We just learned he wrote a memo explaining why he thought Abrego shouldn't have been charged. He wanted the memo forwarded to "D.C." It never was, per testimony. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-vin...

You have already told me that you found the prose too difficult. So, your judgment is suspect.

I believe you when you say you were unable to derive value from reading Capital. But I am interested in hearing how you arrived at the conclusion that nothing can be gained by others.
You do understand that your subjective goals and experiences are not objective reality, right?

It is disqualifying that she continues to believe she learned objective truths during her trip.
KAINE: Sec. Kennedy stated 'there is no evidence the flu vaccine prevents serious disease in children.' Do you agree with him?
MEANS: I believe vaccines save lives
K: I want to be scrupulous. Do you agree w/ him?

K: There's a mountain of evidence. It's an easy one
MURPHY: Your filings show you started receiving compensation in spring 2024, yet in Sept 2024 you posted a video saying you had 'no financial relationship w/ the company, just a big fan.' You weren't telling the truth.

Mention Marx and intelligent people become a shadow of themselves and information suffers. I want to hear Marx, inter alia, to overcome this effect.
Haha. I love the Marx brothers. Had a buddy in college who was obsessed with the silent and talkies era. He could do a TedTalk on the spot on who benefitted and suffered the most from the introduction of sound.

Then I want to see to what degree his transitional state of socialism mirrors Western Europe.
My goal is more subtle. Unlike many on the Left, I reject the Rightwing definition of Capitalism. I want to see, among many other things, how Marx defined it himself.

The most frustrating feature of fascism is the projection of responsibility. This is the same bullshit tactic used to blame immigrants for the GOP policies that destroyed the American Dream (union busting, dereg leading to 2008 financial crisis, overpolicing minority communities, outsourcing).
