Musk and startups are set on launching nuclear reactors into space. What are the odds: Musk's pick for NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, rolled out a plan in April, titled NSTM-3, that will spend billions to develop them. Report from @petercastagno_ : readsludge.com/2026/05/19/mus…

NEW: Musk-recruited NASA chief Jared Isaacman is fast-tracking a space nuclear program that lines up perfectly with what SpaceX needs for Mars. readsludge.com/2026/05/19/mus…

Half of the participants on CAP's "The Future of American Foreign Policy" panel helped perpetrate the Gaza genocide. This is how elite impunity works. This is how Trumpism thrives.

Republicans won't pass legislation restricting Trump and the Supreme Court is enshrining GOP partisan gerrymanders. Democrats had the seats in 2009 to pass a public campaign financing option and ban gerrymandering. They did not send bills to the Senate. davidrussellmoore.net/democrats-coul…

Kalshi lobbies federally to argue it's not gambling, and seeks to stay under the light-touch CFTC instead of state gambling regulators. It's hired Invariant (@invariant), the bipartisan lobbying firm founded by DCCC / DSCC bundler Heather Podesta. politico.com/newsletters/po…

Accounts made $2.4 million betting on military action, per analysis shared with 60 Minutes. Progressives introduced the Anti-Corruption Act in 2018, which would have banned gov't officials from owning such shares and strengthened ethics. The bill has never been given a hearing.

The Act would also have banned presidents, VPs, executive branch officials, and senior agency staff—as well as Congress—from owning stocks, crypto, or betting app shares, among other things. The Warren/Jayapal bill has never been moved by leadership. readsludge.com/2025/04/15/con…

Trump is getting a $1.8 billion fund to pay political allies. House Dems could have passed the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act anytime from 2019–2022, and sent it to the Senate. It would strengthen executive branch ethics enforcement. It has never been given a hearing.

Okay Dan now you’re really messing in my sandbox. Dan’s bill is a weak sauce narrow version notably unlike a very good bill, by @RepCasar. This is seemingly introduced so he can say “surveillance pricing” while doing very little. - Only delivery apps (apparently Goldman thinks it’s okay if everyone else uses your sensitive personal info to set prices??? Funeral homes using your TikTok data?) Doesn’t cover wages. No private right of action so you have to hope that your AG has staff, law in theory, not in practice. No. Dan does not get to take credit for the thinnest possible acknowledgment that price exploitation is a problem.
Rep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman

Americans are paying up to 80% more on delivery app orders because of hidden fees and predatory pricing tactics. In NYC, it’s even worse. That’s why @SenatorLujan and I introduced the PRICE Act to require delivery apps to explain and show you every fee as you add items to your order and ban surveillance pricing that exploits consumers.

People are astonished that Trump is trading stock in individual companies! How can this be?? House Dems could have passed a bill banning presidents, VPs, and executive branch officials from owning stocks or crypto. They never sent the bill to the Senate. readsludge.com/2025/04/15/con…

The Foundation for American Innovation (@JoinFAI) featured Trump cabinet members at its November D.C. gala. FAI's E.D., Zach Graves, is part of the brain trust of the $120 million Recoding America Fund. Its advisors include Dean Ball, co-author of the White House AI Plan.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

This year, Trump bought stock in hundreds of companies, including AI companies, defense contractors and crypto firms, whose bottom line is tied to his admin's policy decisions. The president is supposed to regulate industry, not day trade on it. readsludge.com/2026/05/14/tru…

"Is it OK for the president to be buying and selling stocks in companies he's working in his official capacity to boost? Is it OK he stands to profit from that?" MS NOW viewers heard that Trump bought hundreds of stocks in companies like Boeing, some with CEOs on his China trip.

The U.S. spent $72 billion in the first 60 days of the Iran War, per calculations by Stephen Semler at Popular Information. Since the Blue Dogs claim they care about fiscal responsibility, budget hawks could ask Reps. MGP, Gottheimer, et al... what exactly they were expecting.

If retiring Rep. Jared Golden, past co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition (@HouseBlueDogs), had voted for the Iran war powers resolution today, it would have passed. Blue Dogs, now co-chaired by Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, voted for Trump's $1T defense budget. readsludge.com/2025/09/12/blu…

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the crypto industry's top legislative priority, the Clarity Act, setting it up for a Senate vote. Last summer, I interviewed Amanda Fischer @amandalfischer about her House testimony ⬇️ on the "regulatory gaps" created by the House version...
