According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

these freaks are doing absolutely terrifying stuff on a wholesale basis. probably more horror than anyone will ever really know
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Ik I'm yelling into the void, but I lowkey hate the Progressive commercials ridiculing people "turning into their parents" but the behavior on display is just "being a member of a community". You're fr saying I can't help someone get their coffee or teach someone a new skill without being a fogey?

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

At best I hope every democratic senator giving in on the shutdown in exchange for nothing is voted out of office and at worst I hope they get shot out of a cannon to the moon

So after all of this, the Dems got a deal that is just a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in December that isn't guaranteed to pass. Absolute chickenshit stuff from senate Democrats. They couldn't even get the thing they were asking for.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
