Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
“President Trump himself will occupy an arena-level seat, positioned like a Roman emperor in his pulvinar—the imperial box—and surrounded by senators and dignitaries, if not the traditional six Vestal Virgins” https://t.co/TUZGqUaTvd
New in PN: Trump's systemic attack on whistleblowers, explained by an expert
"The other parallel is Trump’s private businesses, where, since the early ‘90s, he’s had everyone around him sign NDAs. That included ex-wives, people who work for him, people who appeared on The Apprentice, and porn stars he wanted to hush up. Now he’s applying that model to the public sector." https://t.co/X2hTIfXDAT
Trump will never be able to do anything better than President Obama did it. Let’s remind him of that today and not let him take credit for an Iran “deal” that doesn’t leave us any better off and was only necessitated by Trump‘s need to distract us from the Epstein files with military action. Let’s not let him get away with that either.
Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

More civilians were killed and injured in Ukraine by Russia in May than in any other month in the past four years, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine.
Russia is a terrorist state, still hoping to bomb Ukraine into submission after all these years. It didn't work before, and it won't work now.
The documents released today reveal that the Orbán government secretly built a migrant camp in Vitnyéd in 2024.
They lied to the Hungarian people about everything.
This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.
"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.
It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

The 10 hours of erecting scaffolding wasn’t to strip the letters (something that 30 minutes in a boom lift could accomplish), it was to conceal the view with a curtain because Trump couldn’t handle the optics of the letters of his name being plucked off the building.
28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R

Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.
I guess I'm just dim but I really don't understand who is buying SpaceX at $160 per share. This is a company that is losing billions of dollars a quarter and the profits are supposed to come when we colonize Mars and launch data centers in space?
