It's worth noting that proposals do allow members to invest in diversified index funds, so it's not like they'd be deprived of opportunity to benefit from the S&P 500 etc. 🙄
Members of Congress are getting rich trading stocks and flouting the current, toothless regulations.

Disgusting. Also possibly a symptom of his increasingly hard to conceal dementia.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

I lack the energy to decry the extent to which America is becoming a surveillance state with its own secret police, but I would love to slap the word "freedom" out of the mouth of anyone who voted for this.
license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby.

What the holy hell. It's not even 9am on Monday morning, and I'm already exhausted by this administration's atrocities.
The Trump administration intensified its pressure campaign against Venezuela on Sunday by placing an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean, announcing that it would designate a Venezuelan group as a foreign terrorist organization.

Kushiel's Dart, by @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social made me realize for I think the first time that prose can be its own incredibly beautiful art form. I was an avid reader before I read Kushiel's Dart, but no book (excepting its sequels) has ever so utterly captured and transported me with its style.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I watched a lot of B-grade 1980s post-apocalyptic films in my youth, and based on the level of violent sadism unleashed in this nation, I'd say we're a generation away from Rutger Hauer slamming a dog skull on stake.
This is so sadistic. These people are proud of the terror they're inflicting. They're enjoying it.
"While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"
ICE/CBP have targeted Little Village for 10+ yrs. In just the last 3 wks, they've repeatedly (3x) used chemical weapons, aimed guns, & threatened residents, most recently this past weekend.

Yessss! GenX loves to invoke its scrappy childhood, but there were more Alex P. Keatons than you could shake a stick at.
I want to see a Family Ties reboot called "Keaton" about a mid 50's Alex Keaton selling his soul out to MAGA while secretly hating himself.

Dick Cheney is dead. He's the last politician to fool me. I mistook him for a normal unscrupulous business tycoon (he picked HIMSELF for VP) until 9/11, when he emerged a deluded, warmongering neocon. Failure to hold those idiots accountable laid some of the groundwork for Trump. Good riddance.

This BS is being perpetuated by godawful racist videos flooding social media. It's hard to differentiate between genuine gullibility and disingenuousness, but we're in dire need of media literacy.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

It's a pity that the fossil fuel industry has had a stranglehold on American politics and innovation since the invention of the automobile.
The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
