Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
John Roberts is a master tactician playing the longest game to destroy American democracy. I doubt he thinks much about a higher justification --and he'll suffer no consequence. But in case he thought it was to preserve American wealth and power--he essentially destroyed the US in the long run.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
Putin must be so proud of himself for the impact he has had on the U.S.
The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo.
It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Happy Birthday, sir. And thank you for sharing your voice.
If you believe a war criminal on the run from the ICC and a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster (who is most likely also a pedophile) are waging a moral and just war in the Middle East right now, I have some bad news for you.
You’re an idiot.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia is demanding details from Oversight Republicans on how they're working to reschedule Pam Bondi's deposition on the Epstein files.
Garcia wants to know the precise steps taken to organize and any statements Bondi has given to James Comer.
Pope Leo today: "Blessed are the peacemakers."
"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
Try as they might, renewables are gaining momentum.
"Last month, fossil fuels generated less electricity than in any March going back at least 25 years, while renewables generated more."

Things are finally changing. Let's keep pushing and push harder. And let's also not miss the fact that it took a horrific genocide and a disastrous war for so many of our neighbors to start dealing with reality.

Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle: “It eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans, according to the CBO. You’re going to sit here with a straight face and say they’re all illegals, they’re all defrauding the system?”
White House Budget Director Russell Vought: “Yes.”
Between Johnson and everyone else closely associated with this administration, we really need better healthcare in the US since they never see or hear anything.
Really want to make America great again?
Stamp out Republicanism. Shun and reject Republicans everywhere you go— no exceptions. They are enemies of the state.
Ken Burns supports James Talarico for the Senate. "If this movement succeeds, it will be among the most historic political moments we’ve witnessed in decades. It would change what’s possible. But if we want to make progress, it will require all of us to play a role in this historic effort." #TXfight
Senate Democrats and Republicans came together to pass a bipartisan bill that would fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security, only for Speaker Johnson to let it collect dust on his desk for over TWO WEEKS. 🧵
Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
