This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Reporter: The DOJ is sending the Epstein files to Oversight

Trump: You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. The whole Epstein thing is a democrat hoax

A lot of modern conservative politics is just people wishing they could go back to the imagined innocence of their childhood.

My hot take is that they should've done it anyway - we've had messaging on this forever and people had lots of time to get it done.
Clear moment of panic from DHS as they realized that they were about to have TSA turn away over half a million people a day at airports.

Regardless, if that many people are getting extra screenings, get to the airport EARLY.
(AP) - Homeland Security chief says travelers with no REAL ID will be allowed to fly for now, but with probable extra steps.

You can ignore climate change. But it doesn’t ignore you. These insurance spikes were not only foreseeable, but foreseen. States didn’t act, and now the cost is being borne by the most vulnerable. It will get much worse. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Why Texas is seeing eye-popping insurance hikes
Worsening storms fueled by climate change, coupled with inflation, are driving some of the highest home insurance costs in the country.

Very fitting that the guy who is breaking the government and making it less effective and efficient is saying this
"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

I definitely understand this notion. But as a consumer, it’s a lot of work to aggregate all of the content I’m interested in. Having one or a few central places for it was very convenient.
the internet starting to re-fragment into having Actual Websites again as centralized social media self-destructs is unironically one of the absolute best, most positive things happening rn

So, in essence, a pile of garbage
The bills include putting lawmakers on the FAIR Plan governing board; giving Californians tax breaks toward insurance premiums; and trying to hold oil companies accountable for climate catastrophes.
Lawmakers have proposed a variety of bills to address the home insurance crisis illuminated by the LA wildfires. Some of the legislation would be the first of its kind in the nation. cal.news/4bG3Ibq

We are in the “good times create weak men” era of society and the lack of reflection across many populations is incredibly frustrating to observe
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
