If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

I agree with Speaker Johnson. No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest. It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it. Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.

As my Democracy-ish co-host @daniellemoodie.bsky.social says, Donald Trump is the world's easiest trick. So easy to manipulate, flatter and purchase. Questions remain: who and what is he willing to give up in return? Americans should really spend time on that. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...
