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?

We could have been fighting for UBI instead of fighting to keep our neighbors from being disappeared. We could have been housing the unhomed in places where they had access to basic services instead of deporting people to foreign death camps. We could have done so much better.

Why? Just... why?

NEW: Report from the nonpartisan Yale Budget Lab finds that, despite trade ‘deals’ with China and the UK, Trump’s tariffs will still cost American families $2,800 more this year.

It’s the highest tariff tax in nearly 100 years.

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.
Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

"Persons being deported may be sent to countries other than their countries of origin" is INSANE
Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.

/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

Can you IMAGINE if Kamala Harris did something like this. Don't EVER say a WORD about DEI. So far we see a bunch of white male clowns making a mistake so egregious as likely to warrant a criminal investigation in a normal world. Imagine a lowly military grunt doing this.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Truth is rarely spoken by Kremlin insiders on Russian TV. But this is truth.
On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.

"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”

Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.

Vance is "our man" he says.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
