“Politicians who later become congressional leaders trade stocks like everyone else ... until they ascend to power.

After ascension, their portfolios beat peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts.”

Surely members of congress - who have never ever not once traded stocks based upon their special knowledge of and power over government contracts and regulation - will steer clear of any betting markets involving whether congress will eg declare war

“The Daily Nebraskan found in the leaked spreadsheet that every program eliminated appeared to be profitable…every program that the chancellor proposed eliminating generated more money from tuition dollars than the department costs to run”

The story of “the reason my knuckles are bloody is not because I punched that guy on the ground in front of me after everyone heard us yelling” is also pretty abstruse

Ie they are democratic because of their identity with the represented - not because of eg accountability and other models that are tied to the franchise

lol no normally not. Nadia and Christina argue that there’s a kind of “embodiment” of the populace that happens with mini publics. And because they’re not elected, it’s easy to slip into populist thinking - the group “mirrors” the public.

It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

This makes even more sense if you consider that giving folks permanent positions on the same court enables planning and strategy, the ability to plan and strategize is require for ideological movements - and all that is doing politics, not law.

Fix the Court, no amendment needed: Every circuit judge is now also a SCOTUS justice, and all current justices assigned to a circuit. SCOTUS cases heard by panels of 13, one judge from each circuit, selected randomly. Cert granted or denied by different random panels of 13.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

The overlap between Trump’s view of M&A (if it’s big, he will extract his pound of flesh using his veto power) and Silicon Valley’s (using dual-class shareholding to extract permissive legislative changes and board consent) cannot be an accident
