No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.

This is absolutely priceless.
Tucker just states as fact that Russia has a much larger economy than the UK, is completely wrong and gets schooled.

The Trailblazers fired their play-by-play guy for tweets when he was 15 years old.
Meanwhile, they recently traded for Ja Morant, who flashed a gun inside a strip club and beat up a 17-year-old at a pick-up game a few years ago.
Community note
The Portland Trailblazers have a history of employing players who used racial slurs while employed by them and have hired players with previous violent felony sex convictions.
They do not have zero tolerance for racist or sexist comments.

Ghoulish response from @Kalshi. What a trash company
Meet Thomas, a 35-year-old who got hooked to FanDuel and DraftKings in the pandemic, ended up $50,000 in the red. He filed for bankruptcy and signed up for a Pennsylvania registry that banned him from using betting apps.
More recently, he saw an ad for Kalshi offering a cash bonus. He got the app and couldn’t put it down. He’s now living with his mom and grandmother and taking loans from them to afford food and car insurance payments. “I have a gambling addiction” he wrote to Kalshi, begging for them to ban him, which they eventually did. But not before he was more than $25,000 in the hole.
Thomas represents dark side of the prediction market boom: Problem gamblers who relapse with Kalshi, which has blanketed TV, social media, sports stadiums, bus stations, trains, with ads trying to attract new traders, just as they insist they are not a gambling operator. That means they don’t honor “self-exclusion” registries maintained by states like Pennsylvania. Mental health clinicians say that creates a loophole for people like Thomas.
What really got Thomas were Kalshi’s 15-minute crypto markets, where you can make a binary trade on whether Bitcoin will be above or below a certain number every 15 minutes. There were times he was betting 18 hours a day in these markets.
He told me: “The odds flip so quickly. It’s such a rush. And when I’d lose, my brain just kept wanting to win it back. I never even traded Bitcoin or any crypto, but I just kept coming back to the rush of how unpredictable the markets were.”
A clinician I spoke to called 15-minute crypto markets “a slot machine in your pocket”

The US economy is the greatest engine of wealth creation in human history.
How to participate:
Step 1: buy shares in whole market index fund such as $VTI
Step 2: wait for a few decades. Let compound interest work its magic
Step 3: profit
The rising tide lifts all boats

When asked why Ron Wyden's financial disclosure was 465 days late, a spokesman dismissed the question, saying there wasn't "a clear set of rules.”
There is a clear set of rules. Wyden just doesn't care. And @breccastoll has the receipts.

Angie Nixon owns two homes
She made over $20k renting out one of her homes last year.
Some of y'alls rent are too damn high! I'm calling for a National Rent Freeze, to make sure that your face doesn't look like mine when you pay your rent each month.

Losing my fucking mind over this gambling shit. Kalshi is a scourge
Our midterm election coverage will include not only CBS News polling data, but also integrated data from Kalshi, our prediction market sponsor.
We'll offer a glimpse into how prediction market traders are pricing race outcomes – but it will be the voters that decide it all.

New: Jasmine Crockett was offering government relations & lobbying services on a campaign-funded website.
It was taken down after Zeteo reached out.
Experts say they’d never seen something like this before + that it tests the limits of ethics rules & law.zeteo.com/p/jasmine-crockett…

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed boasted in his first major television ad that he had “erased” $700 million in medical debt.
The actual figure is a fraction of that amount, @benryanwriter reports for the Free Beacon.

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon raised more than $270,000 in tax-exempt funds in 2024 through a charity she said would support Cafe Resistance, her black power-themed bookstore and coffee shop.
But Nixon ultimately placed the store under her for-profit LLC, failed to file the IRS form detailing how the charity spent its money, and reported to the state of Florida that $214,000 went toward unexplained “other” expenses, @AndrewKerrNC and @ThomasCatenacci report.

New: Angie Nixon's charity raised $270k in 2024. Those funds are now unaccounted for—Nixon has yet to file the required IRS disclosures that were due nearly a year ago
As @ThomasCatenacci and I reported this story, Nixon shut down her charity's fundraising, the Florida Dept. of State dissolved the charity as a corporate entity, and the Florida Dept. of Agriculture launched a probe to determine whether she illegally raised charitable funds while running for Senate this year.
All of that happened just hours after we reached out to Nixon's campaign & Florida Dept. of Agriculture for comment.
Laws on the books provide strict guardrails governing how LLCs, charities, and federal political campaigns can interact with each other.
Nixon appears to be blatantly violating all of those rules in the cozy relationship shared between her charity, her for-profit LLC, and her Senate campaign.
Several legal experts, including a former official at the IRS Office of Tax Exempt and Government Entities, say there are numerous red flags here.

The NYT has an article about Zoomers and millennials spending $10k+ a year on DoorDash and I'm worried it's going to turn me into a Boomer meme.
Affordability is absolutely a key issue for young people, but we need to be honest about values and basic discipline.
If you make less than six figures and are spending $10,000 on Doordash a year, you are making a bad decision that keeping you far poorer than you should be. Ten years of this, by itself, might be the difference between affording a house down payment and not being able to.
The burnout excuses cited by the Times are also telling: People have built an attitude of helplessness for themselves where they can justify any bad decision with exhaustion or stress. But of course, making stupid financial decisions doesn't alleviate stress at all. It just trains a person to see themself as harried, constantly stressed person on the brink of collapse at all times.
