9/ A month in, I was betting so much that DraftKings’ quick-tap deposit buttons had increased to $500, $750 and $950, making it even easier to mindlessly transfer money into my account. I was also getting pummeled with push alerts inviting me to bet more.

A pile of phone notifications from DraftKings layered on top of one another. Each notification offers a promotion or boost.

A dropdown menu reads “Deposit” and shows dollar amounts for $500, $750, $950 and Other, along with a “Slide to Deposit” button.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

“Since 2018, women in nearly every category of race, age, marital status, educ level, & income have increased their gun ownership. In most of these cases, women's % increases in firearm ownership exceeded those of men belonging to the same group, often by 50% or more.”🧪 @andrewmorral.bsky.social

2018, less than a quarter of gun owners were women (22 percent); by 2024, women made up nearly a third of all gun owners (32 percent).

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

nbcnews.com

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Eleanor Roosevelt had thoughts on being a leftist, also known as being a liberal. Given that President & Mrs. Roosevelt led the USA🇺🇸 out of the Great Depression, led the USA🇺🇸 fight against Nazis and fascists and defeated them to end World War 2, & founded the United Nations🇺🇳. She lived this wisdom:

“Long ago, there was a noble word, liberal, which derive from the word free. Now a strange thing happened to that word. A man named Hitler made it a term of abuse, a matter of suspicion because those who were not with him were against him, and liberals had no use for Hitler. And then another man named McCarthy CAST the same program on the word. We must cherish and honor…the word free, or it will cease to apply to us” a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt
