Crack in the armor or a one off due to interests?
🚨 The Senate votes 52-48 to overturn President Trump's 50 percent tariffs on Brazil. 5 GOP Senators break ranks to vote against Trump: Collins ME, McConnell KY, Murkowski AK, Paul KY, and Tillis NC.
i mean pat gelsinger was the ceo of intel ffs
Voters in both states will decide on the measures at a time when President Trump continues to lie about widespread fraud leading to his loss in the 2020 presidential election and make unsubstantiated claims about future election-rigging.

Maine and Texas latest fronts in voting battles, with voter ID, citizenship on the ballot
The initiatives are the latest in a wave of voting-related measures since President Donald Trump's false claims about widespread fraud costing him reelection in 2020.

Speaking as a dude who has a yearly family reunion, "aunt" and "uncle" fill a role, what the fuck are you supposed to call all those other older people you're vaguely related to, do you think there's someone running around with an org chart saying who's a second cousin thrice removed or something
lmao

There's gotta be a way to score some cheap skeletons that isn't grave robbery or murder acid bath

Musk doubles down in fight with Trump administration, risking his empire
The tech executive has shown little sign of backing down from a battle over the future of NASA. It has spilled into the Transportation Department, which oversees regulation for Tesla.

Hmm. That is… not obviously an improvement.
The credulity here is inexcusable. Trump will not be donating his own fucking money. You can explain that he's claimed he will do that, but you can't just uncritically print that he plans to do that.
Seriously, why are you insulting people's intelligence like this. There is very obviously a massive excluded middle between "bland Ivy League corporate automaton" and "still has large Nazi tattoo." There's nothing wrong with having found him appealing. He was! But it's over and this is silly
the “politics can be a game of cultural affinity or it can be a game of winning” actually goes for everyone
"You cannot be explaining your Nazi tattoo and defeat a multi-term incumbent."

always worth asking of any form of “investing”, is some meaningful social contribution getting compensated at a reasonable rate, or are returns at these levels some form of extraction laundered through complicated financial and regulatory machinery?

hot take I sort of believe: index fund investing is immoral. you're supposed to be paying attention to your money
sure. but first there’s the choice between spending and saving. to a first approximation, what we collectively save goes nowhere. buying a stock or an index doesn’t cause buying factories or anything like that. 1/
