Gullible as Greene was about crackpot theories and her political associations, she seems to have been clear-eyed about her own direct personal interests. She was one of the most active and successful stock traders in Congress, in a number of cases betting for or against companies about which she likely had advance information.

Not the first to say it but this story truly is one of the first great moments in BlueSky culture, including all the people sending me a certain link in response to this thread

The idea that “reporting” on your own personal life is journalism shows a level of disregard for journalistic ethics that’s, uh, a little too relevant

I want to read it for the popcorn but this isn’t Independent Journalism. It’s a LiveJournal.

I’m sorry is Ryan Lizza really putting episode 2 of his own personal drama behind a paywall?

On the one hand, Trump is a con man.

On the other hand, Trump is a mark.

Google denies ‘misleading’ reports of Gmail using your emails to train AI Google says “we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model.”

Apparently Google is denying it and the original report was thinly sourced. Not entirely certain the concern is unfounded but…would like more reputable sources to weigh in (in addition to The Verge, which is one)

2020 was awful but then Trump lost and people forgot who was in charge in 2020

1929 was awful but Hoover stuck around for three more years and Republicans didn’t win another presidential election until 1952

The fact that making a new state is easier than changing the constitution seems relevant

I don’t know what her next act will be but please keep in mind you do not ever have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene

I’m not saying they’ll lose, but the national environment is so bad for them that they can’t take it for granted as they otherwise could

As children we learn that what’s fair to us and what’s fair to others have to be the same thing. MAGA is all about unlearning that

Lol @ Republicans having to spend money in an R+19 special election because their president was BFFs with the world’s most notorious child rapist and his closest ally in Congress is almost eligible for her pension. May they get everything they deserve.
