A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.

Good morning MJ & all. The rain woke me at 4 & been up since then. Got a couple of online classes for my new hobby on udemy.com. For anyone interested in online classes on all kinds of topics, they’re having a great sale for the next 5 days. I only paid $10 per course & they usually sell for >50!

@repgabevasquez.bsky.social seems to ignore the concept of innocent till proven guilty & favor debtors prison. Odd choice there.

Aetna did that to me a year ago. I was stressful to find something else. I went to a supplemental plan which costs more and you have to have a letter from your old insurance to say you weren't at fault for the loss of coverage. Guard that letter with your life.

I’m so glad I moved out of that state years ago. I hope people think twice before spending their hard earned money in Texas. They clearly don’t want visitors.
New from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: Texas Department of Public Safety and ICE signed a pair of agreements that will authorize state police within DPS’s Criminal Investigations and Highway Patrol divisions to effectively operate as ICE agents, on a statewide basis.
Texas Turns Its Sprawling State Police Force Into Immigration Agents for Trump
The notorious 287(g) task force program has finally reached DPS, raising fears of widespread racial profiling.

Kind of a mixed bag this week, but no actual action without the House. Get back to work, Mikey Boy.
House STILL recessed. Senate tries to mitigate tariffs (taxation WITH representation) and gives us more Trump judges. Also votes to protect spotted owls!

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
