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?

Mike Johnson’s entire worldview is a time machine back to the 1950s and somehow his wife hit the gas pedal. This is what happens when MAGA convinces itself that misogyny is a family value.

Representative Adelita Grijalva went to lunch and came across an ICE raid. Even after telling them she was a member of congress, the thugs pepper sprayed her.
Her question: if they treat a member of congress this way, how are they treating the defenseless people they kidnap?

So the AI bubble will burst, average American taxpayers (not the oligarchy/corpocracy) will be on the hook to make it all solvent, and save the oligarchs/corporations from their folly. We take another haircut, while they get a pass. All while the mobster & enablers strip us of our civil rights. Y/N?

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Donald Trump struggled to stay awake during another White House cabinet lovefest. RFK’s tones and Marco Rubio’s groveling seemed to soothe him to bed.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
