What to know about Nick Shirley, the YouTuber alleging day care fraud in Minnesota
Shirley is a 23-year-old self-described "independent YouTube journalist" who made prank videos in high school before pivoting to politics. He participated in a White House roundtable in October.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

I’m just going to throw this out into the universe. I manage the BEST group of healthcare professionals on the planet! I have 117 employees & somehow they get along, help each other, embrace change, look for ways to improve & to be involved. I am so lucky! It’s the only good thing I take from 2025.
