The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

😂 If you see three little old ladies in their eighties with
"TRUMP IS A CUNT" signs at the Malibu Hand's Off, it's my neighbor and her posse.😂

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Today in history, 1638: Anne Hutchinson is banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony for opposing the orthodoxy of the established Puritan clergy. More significantly, Hutchinson defied gender norms, daring to presume authority over men and speak her mind in public. /1

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”
There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I’m quietly meditating… yet there are 2 chilling thoughts keep haunting me—
📌1. Measles is not just highly infectious with R0 of 12-18, but it has a long ***2 WEEK*** INCUBATION period—ie Texas outbreak could be in the HUNDREDS or more already, and we are seeing just the early tip of iceberg.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates.
So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.
