Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi β€” and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market.

Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets.

Always follow the money.

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our countryβ€”pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialistsβ€”are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

Sen. Alsobrooks shines light on RFK Jr.'s medical racism The Maryland Democrat called out Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s false claim that Black people have "better" immune systems than white people.

Thank you, Ja’han Jones, for this article in MSNBC’s @joyannreid.bsky.social #reidout blog for anyone who needs a primer on RFK Jr.’s racist assertion about Black people’s immune systems being biologically different than whites. Thank you for the LEGACY shout out!

Why does Elon get to eliminate a $50 billion agency that provides life-saving services, helps stabilize countries, and helps reduce the spread of diseases in the home country and thereby here at home?

Today the government pulled all contraception, sex information, abortion information, lgbtq+ information off their wevsites. They removed the guidelines our OBGYN society and other specialties use to guide which contraceptive options and sexually transmitted disease treatment options.

The incoming administration will do everything possible to control women (among other deplorable things), but if we work together we can minimize the harm- please share this info far and wide so that women can get the help they need!
