This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were. This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters. When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Breaking: Former Christian right TV celeb Joseph Duggar has been charged with molesting a 9-year-old girl. His older brother, Josh, is currently in prison for CSAM possession. The Duggar family has been a major part of the Christian far right for years.

A white woman lies about who raped her and an innocent Black man went to jail for 16 years. While he's in jail she writes a book about it and makes millions. She should be charged with perjury. #DemsUnited


So the Measles vaccine caused 30x the deaths than Measles itself… got it.

I have a suggestion.

Ted Lieu on camera: "The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped children." A sitting congressman said this on the record.





Trump: A lot of them were let in here, they shouldn't have been let in. Their genetics are not exactly your genetics. It's one of those problems

One of Musk's DOGE bros explains how he flagged "DEI" grants for termination

DOGE Lead in deposition details how he emailed documents to his personal device to then send with Signal

Yesterday morning: “As such, wearing [Trump’s shoes] becomes a private act of submission (particularly if he’s guessed your size wrong, and you’re forced to walk around with clown shoes).” Photo of Marco Rubio surfaces yesterday afternoon:

Two lessons here. First, these people are morons, getting your tax dollars to do moronic things. Second, when you force a conservative to explain themselves in an environment where they can't lie, the results are hilarious.
