BIG news: A new bipartisan bill just dropped that would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.
It’s about time. Voters shouldn’t have to wonder if their leaders are profiting off the decisions they make.

I want to know how many unaccompanied minor children this regime has funneled into trafficking. I had seen one report that said the regime has lost 10,000+ immigrant children. The rest like these kids, are at high risk of being trafficked, too.
Where are the GOP "Save The Children" folks now?

DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala.
Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

LA. Isn't that where all the cameras are? Hollywood, news media, livestreams, podcasts, tourists. Seems like someone would have gotten the city burning to the ground in real time. Or not real time. All the time.
