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?

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Axios’ editorial comms director who is relentlessly pushing the Axios/Tapper book about Biden was a literal Republican operative who did comms for Ron Johnson, Kevin Cramer, the RNC, the ND Republican Party, and worked on Rand Paul’s 2016 campaign.

if you think about it from Roberts or Leo's perspective they had this extremely successful long game of rigging the judiciary to make it possible to pursue reactionary policy without electoral backlash and then Elon gloms onto their senile figurehead out of *nowhere* and starts wrecking shit loudly
the inevitable collision between FedSoc Judicial Supremacy Facism and Elon's Ket Bender DOGE Executive Supremacy Facism is going to be spectacular because they are *not* on the same page about who is supposed to call the shots
Even right wing judges seem to grasp their jobs become irrelevant if Trump declares Law Isn’t Real
