The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

"The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency"

I’ve seen a similar drop in my class (2022-2024), with a bit of an uptick this last year. This time around we did an early exercise on the risks of letting AI do your thinking for you, and then FAR more handwritten activities throughout the quarter. I like to think those helped.

Also! I cannot figure out how this trend is compatible with democracy. How can citizens be engaged, informed, and participatory if they are unable or unwilling to critically and thoughtfully engage with new ideas/info?

Which, BTW, is why I consider AI to be antithetical to the needs of democracy.

Canadian visitation to U.S. down 35% since President Trump returned to office—dealing a massive, sustained economic blow to U.S. economy that shows no sign of reversing

14% decline in air travelers from Canada

In 2024, Canadian tourists injected $20.5 billion into U.S. economy

NEW YORK (AP) — Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring.

Definitely!

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

As it's the weekend, let's take a moment to enjoy and celebrate what for the entire country is an unalloyed good-news story!

These are really good!

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Say hi to your Activities for me. 😍

Fox News is calling this the most decisive and important war America has ever fought

They are complete morons

Trump has declined so much that he wants praise simply for being able to sign his own name…and people actually clapped for it.

Donald Trump wants to give himself the Medal of Honor?

For what?

A failed war in Iran?

He’s absolutely insufferable.

I’m not even kidding when I say that a Dem candidate, whoever it is, that promises Tribunals on Day 1 will sweep the primaries and be the nominee by Super Tuesday at the latest.

At what point will “journalists” who take Donald Trump at his word about Iran start feeling complicit in helping him manipulate the markets?

Fox correspondent: "I spoke with President Trump this morning who said if the Iranians don't sign the deal, their whole country is going to get blown up. He said, 'We're preparing to hi them harder than any country has ever been hit before.'"

FBI Director says arrests ‘coming soon’ on 2020 rigged election conspiracy FBI Director Kash Patel: "We have the information that backs President Trump's claim.”

🚨BREAKING: FBI director Kash Patel said that his agency will soon make arrests – maybe this week – in connection to the 2020 presidential election, which he claims was rigged. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup.

He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal.

He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage.

He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

Trump's "art of the deal" has always been about "negotiating for the right to save face after losing catastrophically on a dumb gamble, followed by furiously jumping into another investment so as to erase the memory of the last loss". That's his career. Nothing has changed.

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

"Top staffers were figures with connections to GOP politics who hadn’t worked in the arts, including one spouse of a Republican party leader whose longest professional experience was working as a marketing and events manager at a Toyota dealership in Ireland..."

National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) SEARCH Reports and Publications Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website to its version as of 12:00 AM on January 29, 2025. Information on this page may be modified and/or removed in the future subject to the terms of the court's order and implemented consistent with applicable law. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from truth. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology due to the harms and divisiveness it causes. This page does not reflect reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it. WHAT TO KNOW The reports and publications on this page present the latest data on the national prevalence of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking among women and men in the United States.

‘Dark Money’ Floods Virginia Redistricting Fight, With Millions Linked to Peter Thiel The results of Tuesday's referendum could reshape the midterms this November.

Peter Thiel, who thinks freedom & democracy are incompatible, and hates the social safety net & women voting, is trying to buy the outcome of VA’s redistricting vote to further his disgusting anti-democratic views.

Don’t let him!!!!! VOTE YES, Virginia, on 4/21, to stop Thiel.

Commission of Fine Arts votes to move ahead with Trump's proposed victory arch The seven-member body, whose ranks are composed of Trump appointees, was expected to approve the arch. The proposed monument strongly resembles Paris' Arc de Triomphe, but almost 100 feet taller.

Unionize your workplace so you can call the president a pedophile in the national spotlight and keep your job

A tribute to the King, Charles Schulz. Lucy Van Pelt is sitting in her psychiatry booth, looking depressed. Sitting on a stool next to the booth is Charlie Brown, looking depressed. Instead of the normal text on the front of the booth it reads, ‘Maybe it will happen today’. With the ‘today’ being on a little removable placard.

Screenshot of an X post from @clashreport: Trump posted a video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way”. “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain… 
Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention… 
I did it my way.”

I do AV work for a funeral home and this is one of the most common song choices. It seems to be one of those songs that elderly boomers and silent generation folks turn to as they’re thinking about death.

You can set your watch by Trump’s weekend Iran war market manipulations.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
