SCOOP: The SEC just quietly rewrote its own rules so ONE Trump appointee can make decisions for the entire agency, no public comment required. This is right as the SEC preps rules on crypto and AI mega-IPOs like Anthropic’s. www.levernews.com/sec-quorum-r...

Trump SEC Quorum Rule Lets One Commissioner Act Alone

A quiet rule change could signal “the end of independent financial regulators” just as the SEC prepares to deregulate crypto, mega-IPOs, and corporate governance.

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. 🧵

This is what I've been saying! RFK Jr specifically talked about Black people needing re-parenting and high autism rates. He wants ppl with ADHD, addiction, or autistic to work on farms. It's not hard to figure out the end goal-- an enslaved underclass of marginalized people.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.
