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 2014 Senate class of Republicans is kind of cooked now:
Tillis: Retiring
Ernst: Retiring
Cassidy: Fighting for his life in a primary and backing RFK Jr.
Sullivan: In a tough race vs. Peltola
Daines: Retiring
Gardner: Lost in 2020

The only guys who turned out all right were Cotton and Rounds

We can't say this enough. It needs to happen.

Well said!

I know everyone is aware we are in a poly-crisis, but it isn't just a result of the relatively recent elevation of the tech-broligarchy.

Like, we spent the last 40+ years not building, developing or maintaining adequate infrastructure because western society is largely cheap and lazy.

“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaves Trump cabinet, Keith Sonderling takes over.” Trump fires another female cabinet member and replaces her with a man.

Opinion | The Trump Administration Is Coming After Birth Control Access in a Terrifying New Way

We've always known that Donald Trump and his anti-choice allies in Congress were not going to stop at abortion.

I am fighting like hell to save programs like Title X from the chopping block – this funding is critical in preserving women’s access to health care, including birth control.

We can’t afford two more years of unchecked power
—President Obama. 🇺🇸

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

Over 250 journalists signed a letter to the White House Correspondents Association asking them to send a message condemning Donald Trump’s attacks on the First Amendment:

There’s a house in my town that has been flying a Trump flag since 2015.
It’s long been one of four flags they fly.

I pass it every day.

Passing it today, I noticed something…

That flag isn’t there anymore.

They took it down.

Replaced it with a Marine Corps flag.

Whoa.

How Philadelphia's World Cup setup became the envy of fans in New York, Boston, and beyond From private financing to years of behind-the-scenes planning, here's an inside look at what Philadelphia has done right to get ready for its moment on the world stage.

Why can’t good corporate citizens step up to keep neighborhood schools open? #Philly

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.

He’s just burning your tax money.

Spoiler alert: we ALL lose.

I would not let anyone I know participate in Ibogaine studies, particularly given, who is running Universal Ibogaine (not an addiction specialist in sight on that board). How is the company already listed on the stock market when preliminary research revealed a high risk profile, including death?

Joe Rogan told reporters that he texted Trump about ibogaine as a treatment for depression and PTSD, to which Trump responded: "Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let's do it."

The evidence that they are effective for mental health disorders is overstated and often just plain weak. If you weren't sure about it before, note that the grifters in chief never push well proven, useful treatments. It all BS for the gullible and under-informed.

Ibogaine studies have been halted for cardiac arrest, death, and other side effects. But it is a Universal Ibogaine is a for-profit publicly traded company with nary an addiction specialist in sight on their board (nor cardiologists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, etc.). Follow the money.

My life instantly changed with my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Millions of Americans become caregivers in the same way.
 
It’s a difficult battle we face – but we are not alone in it.

Where is Gavin Newsom on this? Why isn’t he out front advocating and fighting for these workers.

No one can deny he is a good politician. But is a great leader?

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

Russian blogger’s fierce critique of Kremlin goes viral: ‘People are afraid of you’ Victoria Bonya says authorities too scared to raise issues with Vladimir Putin, whose approval ratings are declining
