Can’t be faulting our rich donors. It’s profitable to keep Americans poor, unhealthy& addicted.
Been watching the hearing on worldwide threats and the Congressman from Colorado among others going all in on going after drug cartels while ignoring the actual culprit of opioid addiction, namely the drug companies that actively pushed addictive drugs like OxyContin on to an unsuspecting public.

A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.
