The rats are leaving the ship. This shit is no different than anything else Trump did. Notice how they defended renaming the Kennedy center, but now that Trump looks like an even bigger fuckwit, they need to start sounding Anti-Trump.
"We were fooled!"
No, you're just fools.
This is grotesque. Tawdry Caesarism. Shameful cult of personality crap, and deeply un-American. Voted for him in 2020 & backed him in 2024 … but not for this, and not for another grand Mideast war.
It's going to take a while to see the results of *most* of the damage that DOGE (and related brainless cuts) have caused. But the results are going to be a lot more things like this; easily preventable stuff that we just decided to kill because a ketamine-fueled racist got a bunch of kiddies together and decided everything that wasn't going directly to white people was 'woke'.
McGOVERN: Do you believe pesticide companies deserve liability protection?
BROOKE ROLLINS: We cannot destroy our framers' ability to plant
McGOVERN: So even though you say glyphosate is safe, you believe they should have some sort of liability protection?
The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.
The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program
BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that
CRAIG: Your own data says that
i will never forgive the American people for voting this guy back into office because of burger and gas prices just to watch him put worms in the burgers and shut off 20% of the world's oil supply
Very funny to flop after spending $10 million on your campaign and then blame "the 7 million dollars of AI, Crypto, and AIPAC money that were put into this race" for your defeat.
her whole brand was The Technocratic Progressive with Charts and then she ran an entire campaign on lazy slopulism like eliminating the state income tax for non-billionaires
I’ve really appreciated all the natural experiments from this guy, Steyer, Bloomberg, etc mapping the precise extent to which money does vs does not buy elections
Money buys allies, allies win elections, but there are pretty hard limits even if progs will still blame Big Money
@TrueSlazac@DB0ii69@SerLava_gaming but the market is pretty focused on the current state of a company when it looks at stocks. Of course it changes when big things happen, that doesnt help with predictions even a few weeks out.

Prediction markets react to external events. But it's just people swinging from one event to the next based on what news they get. This isnt predictive so much as a reaction. I get the econ argument that this is the market...
They really need to stop calling these prediction markets and start calling them reaction markets. "What is the current mood on X?" is an interesting metric, I guess, but let's not overstate the case.
