Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks
They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume
Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed
Here’s examples of just how good they were
1 planet. 1 day. 1 retweet. That’s all it takes to put trees in the ground. When you retweet THIS tweet, you are helping @KCCorp and the Arbor Day Foundation's goal of planting 150,000 trees. You don't need a shovel to plant trees today. #ArborDay
Gen. Mark Milley: "I want to understand White rage. And I’m White...So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out."
"Hello police? I traded some imaginary math money for some computer files that list me as the owner of a bunch of jpegs. Now someone changed my password and took the files. Yes, I'll hold."
Long rant: So earlier today, I got into a spat over the $15 minimum wage with @JamesSurowiecki and @noamscheiber. Because this disagreement over whether there is a mechanical relationship between raising wages and less jobs is incredibly consequential, I wanted to say more.
"I wish we could find those responsible for spreading a baseless conspiracy theory that undermined our electoral process & radicalized Trump supporters to the point of killing a Capitol policeman w/ a fire extinguisher on the way to hang Mike Pence-guess we'll never know!"

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.
The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
Zoom catch-22: when you look at the camera while talking, people see you looking them in the eye, so they nod and give all this nonverbal feedback that you don't see because you're looking at the camera. When you look at the people, they see you looking down so they don't react.
This is a great debate. It's fabulously psychologically revealing.
Everything voters need to know - it's all on view.
One man is a little faded from what he was.
The other is a monster.
He refuses to say he’ll accept the results of the election. He won’t commit to a peaceful transfer of power. Donald Trump is the most disloyal, un-American President we’ve ever had.
