@kevinUSA100 Well, partly because they're "Republicans" - really (D)ifferent politicians who couldn't win in that party so ran under the GOP primary and fooled enough people to win. Way too many RINOs in positions of power.
@AndrewDesiderio So much to be said for returning the selection of State Senators to the states and not the popular vote. We lost a lot when Senators became a pick of popularity and not States' interests.
I have just finished reading The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
It is, without a doubt, the most horrifying document I've ever read in my life.
There is no close second... and it's worse than you could ever imagine.
Here's everything you need to know 🧵
250,000 British girls were raped. 87-95% of the perpetrators were Muslim. The UK government covered it up.
How is this not front page news everywhere??
@eda2026 Goes on sale every now and then - haven't ever asked the butcher behind the counter if they'll grind a whole brisket for me and probably need to do so.
This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.
A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.
It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:
56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.
More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.
343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.
That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.
The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:
The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.
Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.
Now look at the individual leaderboard:
- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade
And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.
She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.
The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.
The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.
And the cruelest part is this:
A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.
But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.
They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.
The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.
@Jonathan_Blow Hoping it can run on lower powered machines. No option to play the Switch 2 version - just an _old_ PC at this point. What I've seen so far looks great.
@ItsRobbAllen Hope you find a new church quickly. Had family in the UMC and there was one pastor who was really good - the guy afterwards ... not so much. And so many buildings in the NE have just completely capitulated. Sad to see the denom go that way. :(
@J0hnADouglas Hmm - still only see the version I purchased. Not sure if that will auto-update to v2 or not. I didn't see another option for it. Looking forward to the 2nd in the overall arc, though.
@LivingGodsTruth Not sure where this person's looking, but there are a _ton_ of churches in the FW area that won't have female pastors/elders - unless he's intentionally only sticking to certain churches/denominations.
@ingelramdecoucy Capacitors run < $100 - just gotta get the right one. Easy to change if you're careful and have an insulated tool to make sure it's discharged. But glad you got a quick/cheaper repair. :)
@Polymarket Seems an easy enough prompt to write ... are you a white British citizen? straight to jail. Are you an import? No charge, arrest the citizen party involved, cover up all video showing the realities.... :-(
