A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

Every GOP political candidate & official owns part of Trump Regime’s actions because they don’t oppose unjust actions.
Remember at the ballot box, at every level, there is no GOP anymore. There is only Trumpism. Every GOP vote encourages this behaviour.

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

When Premier Ford yelled “find a job” to people protesting the watering down of protections for renters it sounded a lot like “let them eat cake”.
Ford could choose to properly fund the Landlord and Tenant Board but that would mean he was trying to fix the problem.

I understand from NYT article that Halligan knowingly excluded exculpatory testimony on the James case. Is this normal for a prosecutor in a Grand Jury hearing? Or is it an ethical violation to bring charges when you know you don’t have evidence strong enough for a conviction?
Some say that Lindsey Halligan is a wildly incompetent lawyer.
Others say she gets her cases resolved incredibly quickly.

Have GOP Reps. from California realized that Trump may have cost them their seats?
Are they going to use their remaining term to show they should be re-elected by opposing Trump or are they going to end their careers following a dictator?
They have stood up once. Can they rinse and repeat?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
