No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

That Donald Trump thinks the Supreme Court would decide a case based on a political speech by Ronald Reagan—instead of the law—is an admission that he knows the current, corrupt Court is a practitioner of politics, not a protector of laws.

Vladimir Putin has clearly made a calculation, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: Donald Trump, to use the language he once hurled at Volodymyr Zelensky, has no cards, and his fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored. https://theatln.tc/6bX6jcrP

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

They won’t stop with this shit unless we stand up and refuse to accept it as normal. This. Is. Not. Normal. This is fascism in plain sight.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Shame on West Point for inviting a draft dodger, who views the US military as merely props to be used for his own glory, to give its commencement speech. With no respect, the tacky wheezing fool wore a campaign ball cap and rambled on about yachts and trophy wives to the bored graduates.
