We must BAN congressional stock trading.

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Someone with a Russian IP address used a DOGE account to attempt to login to the NLRB computer system.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

one other way to think of this is that it is a massive program of upwards redistribution to wealthy business owners who can skimp on worker, consumer and environmental safety to juice profits for themselves www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

The right's obsession with autism is a stepping stone to (if not outright) eugenics.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

Oh damn called out!

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

The worst

Like I said, I was, for a time, this guys staff who oversaw housing. He doesn’t care and he isn’t smart.

NY please do not re-elect Cuomo. You’re smarter than this.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

the invisible hand to the rescue! www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.

BREAKING: Trump says he'll announce new chip tariffs "over the next week," per Axios.

Because of course. They were always going to ignore the courts.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Entirely too true

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

JFC This is just the worst.

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

Once again

I was expecting this. Medication will not be safe.

BREAKING: House Democrats like AOC and Mike Levin just sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, asking that politicians be required to immediately disclose stock trades made around the tariff announcements.

Who had the inside scoop and traded on it illegally?

President Donald Trump is reportedly looking into possibly delisting Chinese public companies from US exchanges, per Fox News

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

The lesson for universities is you may as well fight back. You'll lose the money either way. The only question is whether you keep your dignity.

Worth noting that this passed by one vote and two Democratic congresspeople have died in office in the last six weeks.

Sooo.. Anyone need some toilet paper? lol J/K; no way this mania is over.

I am telling you, J6 is going to be declared a national holiday

Senator Adam Schiff has said that he is going to be investigating whether anyone in DC was insider trading based on tariff policy.

So, who bought the dip? Because someone knew the tariffs were getting lifted today.
