Polymarket and Kalshi are not "prediction markets." They are apps designed to drain young men of their money by developing gambling addictions. And these companies' marks are not "trading." They are [often illegally] gambling. Shut down these parasitic and wholly worthless companies.

🚨 BREAKING: AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior. None of this is normal. And pretending it is diminishes us in the eyes of our enemies & allies.

The FBI had the list the entire time? Is this why Bongino resigned so quickly?! 🤷♀️
I know a lot of money was wasted in the midterms and didn’t move the needle. But I have to believe the billionaire disinformation campaign was the big reason this failed.

The new Congress should really focus on sending Trump single subject bills that clearly benefit the American people and force him to veto them. Hell, name them after him, he’ll sign every fucking one without reading it.
GOP twitter is losing their minds. Trump says he was too tough on immigration. Wants to work with Democrats on keeping people who have been here forever and never committed a crime other than coming here illegally. One day, the GOP will learn: HE HAS NO ACTUAL POLICIES! None.
