I live in Tucson less than 2 blocks from the high school where Bernie and AOC will be speaking in a few minutes. I walked there about an hour ago and walked the entire line - about 1.3 miles long. I heard that it got longer after that.

Somebody is making a ton of money from all of the stock market turbulence. You don't suppose it could be anyone with inside info, do you? I guess we'll never know, with cuts to the SEC and DOJ.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
