Was just wondering what happened to the insider trading we heard about recently

Sen. Kelly Loeffler sold more stock than known, $18.7 million, including shares in retail stores, while buying into a company making coronavirus protective gear, after she attended a closed door briefing and publicly claimed Dems were overhyping the virus. https://t.co/z6wmVQzcbu

Cool that Burr and her will face zero real consequences

New Jersey is the only state in the country to have not adjusted its tax filing deadline yet. Murphy has indicated an announcement is "imminent"; however, he has been saying that for a while now.

I am unreasonably optimistic that this will not go away for them. Right now, there are other urgent priorities, but this will be something that will come back around and bite them.

Pretty sure it’s been adjusted now

they dont actually appear to point to any specific policies they disagree with except for the policies that THEY themselves are not enforcing because putting people in jail would likely kill others already there

Obviously Gov. Murphy is lurking on BSG.

The FBI White collar guys will not let this slide, they are just ordered home at the moment.

Wisconsin polls look horrific for Sanders. I cannot believe he has not dropped out. If he continues to get crushed, I have no idea how that is beneficial to him or the policies I mostly agree with!

Biden sucks so much.

can't wait for him to continue to shit all over M4A and the like when we'll have 30% unemployed and facing little to no insurance because the jobs don't exist to give them insurance. 100% wage match wouldn't even come close to covering insurance costs that people will be hit with if they try to get something equivalent to what they have now.

Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq. If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed

Sanders winning was not going to bring M4A either though.

Getting policies that you care about to the forefront is about coalition building and finding ways to get small wins on things you can convince others to agree with you on. Then they are more likely to listen to you later down the road. Just working in this world for however long it has been, that has been the clearest lesson. There are electeds who are just as progressive in thought as the firebrands on TV but they work differently within their caucuses and chambers than those who yell "This is the only way and I will not accept anything less!!" The former is not being moderate. The former is effecting change where you can and living to fight another fight, which, to me, is the right way to go about this because it is the only way change can come.

This is a well though out response. This country has rarely had any kind of progressive movement happen overnight, at least not since the Civil War was over and the North flat out punished the South. The Civil Rights movement took over 10 years to get started and are still pushing. Progression is slow in the US. Even if Bernie were to win, he still wouldn't be able to pass M4A. In fact, most of Bernie's plans would never pass.

Where we really messed up is Hillary's failed push, as a first lady, in 1993. If her plan had passed we'd be on a much closer path. Nothing in the US happens fast until you replace the old with the young.

OAN Had their credentials pulled from the White House press pool. Recently the reporter had asked such famous questions about things at the corona task force briefing like are more babies aborted than the virus will kill or is it racist to call food Chinese food. You know that hard-hitting stuff. But I guess the straw that broke the camels back is that the pool has some control over who comes, and this woman came and stood in the back day after day regardless of the safety measure and requirements. Of course every day Trump calls on her. When she was approached about her disobedience she said that she was a invited guest of Stephanie Grisham.

A local court in Pakistan on Thursday overturned the death sentence and murder convictions of four men believed to be involved in the killing of US journalist Daniel Pearl. Can the acquittal the sentence is reduced to seven years which would mean time served at this point. The acquittal the sentence is reduced to seven years which would mean time served at this point. Further details about Thursday acquittal were not immediately available, as Pakistan's judicial system is operating at a limited capacity, due to the coronavirus.

Saw that on CNN
