@BrianKarem Vote. While you still can.

Hillary Clinton was right then and she's right now.

many people disliked Clinton and Kamala Harris for various reasons, good and bad.

but the American electorate
made grave mistakes in rejecting these two women for Trump.

our country will pay the price for a long time.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

It's time for the US to get a new president.

Trump is the King of Fake News.

If you don't like the news, ban it. Why not? It works in Russia.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity

[Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY]

It's time to end corruption and ban stock trading for Congress, the President and the Supreme Court.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

The consequences of Trump's immigration agenda are sick and deadly. Trump’s obsession with deporting law-abiding students, health care workers and caregivers doesn't make any of us safer. Time to pass permanent legal protections for these immigrants.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

@AngieNixon There is an obsession over attacking folks who are against genocide, yet anti-Black racism goes unchecked.

[Mick Jagger @MickJagger]

What a wonderful songwriter and singer Dolly was. She brought so many people together, we will all miss her so much.

[Danny Deraney @DannyDeraney]

The time Dolly Parton and Kermit jammed to Sly and the Family Stone.

This is always how I will remember her.

Mick Jagger is 83. Mitch McConnell is 84. Never underestimate the benefits of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll.

[Nick Penny @TankShots]

imagine the coverage if Paul Skenes threw behind Shohei Ohtani… then Ohtani laid down a bunt just to hit stick him 😂

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Yeah, but see, the will of this president is that of a driveling idiot.

The SpaceX IPO is the most brazen retail fleecing in modern market history.

NASDAQ has REWRITTEN the index rules specifically for this listing. The 10% minimum free float requirement: gone. The 3 to 12 month seasoning period before index inclusion: cut to 15 trading days. Companies with small floats can now be weighted at 3x their actual float.

Translation: every passive index fund, every 401k, every pension is about to be force-fed SPCX whether they want it or not.

And what exactly are they buying?

Class A shares carrying ONE vote each, while Musk holds 93.6% of the Class B super voting shares at TEN votes each. That gives him 85.1% of voting power on a 42% economic interest. He cannot be outvoted. He cannot be removed. CEO, CTO and board chairman simultaneously.

For reference: Zuckerberg controls 61% of Meta. Buffett 35% of Berkshire. Musk: 85.1%.

SpaceX is also claiming "controlled company" status, exempting it from needing a majority of independent directors. Shareholders waive the right to a jury trial. They waive the right to class actions. Mandatory arbitration only, courtesy of an SEC rule change pushed through on a party line vote last September.

$1.75 trillion valuation. $80 billion raise. Largest IPO in history.

The rules of the game were quietly rewritten so one man could extract maximum capital from retail while answering to no one.
