Banning Members of Congress from trading stocks or becoming lobbyists shouldn’t be controversial — nor should ending the pervasive self-dealing in the White House.

I’ve proposed real reforms to end corruption in Washington D.C. — and will keep fighting to get them across the finish line!

I fail to notice nothing. You fail to comprehend that political violence as a
American norm will not devour only those
who you think deserving. You will not be the arbiter of the bloodletting as it comes, and the horror will not be applied to only those deserving. Far from it.

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politican.

Representative Greg Landsman sold up to $50,000 of United Health, $UNH, on 03/26/2025.

Since, $UNH is down 53%, and it was disclosed that the DOJ was investigating $UNH for possible Medicare fraud.

He sits on the House Subcommittee of Health.

The propaganda derived from the intersection of alternative medicine and the anti-vaccine movement is a bottomless pit of science illiteracy.

No stock trading for members of congress or family members. It’s a cancer she let fester and grow. She’s much more than that obviously, but it remains a cancer in the party.

A kooky doctor who sells mitochondria-boosting gummies among other nonsense was just nominated for Surgeon General.

Hard to overstate how dangerous these attacks on the free press are. And to make matters worse, many of the networks aren't putting up enough (or any) fight.

SORRY, NERDS 5/4 1s DAVE BRUBECK DAY

We live in a country where leadership and half the voting public thought Colonel Jessup was the unfairly maligned and persecuted hero of A Few Good Men.

COVID Science Is Moving Backwards We’ve let the data slip away.

Regarding the Novavax drama, we do actually need new RCTs for the Covid vaccines in the immunity era. I wrote about this way back in 2022.

The problem now is you have anti-vaxxers running the healthcare system. Hard to trust them.

Would love to hear you and Ed talk about how to think about real estate as an asset now on a future show. I know that is how you diversify, but seems like real estate will follow the rates and the equities market to some degree in secondary housing markets.

Brendan Carr’s FCC is an anti-consumer, rights-trampling harassment machine The White House’s personal censor.

Over at The Verge I wrote about how Brendan Carr has transformed our top media and telecom regulator into a dangerous, incoherent, grievance-fueled censorship and harassment machine:

How is payment from Apple News+ to the Atlantic? That’s where i read. Is it “fair?”

Needs a Japanese bidet seat. It’s worthwhile luxury for your butt.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

That’s a lot less weight loss than zepbound. Do investors just thing the pill will be more popular? Cheap?

When people say that some concept is too complicated for voters to understand, I remember Stephen Sondheim's line about the "West Side Story" movie. He was told that it didn't have "hummable" songs. Then United Artists spent a ton of $ promoting it, the movie was a hit, and suddenly it was hummable.

The problem with … the two problems with .. AMONG the problems with people like Natalie Jackson is their credulous and sheeplike willingness to accept the government’s narrative about who is a “hero” or a “villain” based on dubious claims,

Opinion | Time for a Civic Uprising It will take a concerted effort by every sector of our society to respond to Trumpism’s threat.

"I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now. Trump is shackling the greatest institutions in American life. We have nothing to lose but our chains." --David Brooks (!) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Booo. You shouldn’t define a school by one alum. And yes I went there.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

You should post and block more here, and you should not support Elon’s propaganda machine. Centrist voices legitimize shat should be shunned for moral reasons.
