“While the SEC previously shared how much of its enforcement bounty actually got collected, it stopped doing so in 2019, and declined to say why.”
The SEC has long struggled to enforce its judgments against individuals who go to great lengths to avoid paying them. Over the past 10 years, it has written off almost $10 billion in penalties.

-Someone do a study on how many people still type twitter dot com to visit "X."

-Everyone make a big deal about it

-Elon will get so mad, and cancel the redirect

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

RFK Jr’s relationship with Trump will eventually implode in a spectacular fashion, but until that happens, he is one of the most dangerous people in the USG.

Do you have any suggestions as to good things that Biden could accomplish (via executive orders, pardons, etc.) before leaving office?

If not, do you have any suggestions as to what Biden could do to render the next Trump administration less effective?
It's as important as ever to pressure Biden to do what good he still could before leaving office.
