1/2 Some analyze margin debt in the context that includes free cash accounts and credit balances in margin accounts. They calculate the credit balance as the sum of free credit cash accounts and credit balances in margin accounts minus margin debt. Record Current Level -$814.1 billion. 👇🏼

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) is starting the year with $25 million in the bank. Ossoff is the Senate’s most vulnerable Democratic incumbent up for reelection this November. He is the only Democratic senator running for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

It's odd how Americans forgot how much they hated having that vulgar, incompetent clown as president.

I hope she gave him a fake reproduction

President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

In other words, since you can't afford a downpayment cause life us unaffordable---take from your future self to give to current yourself--but either way it's coming out of your pocket. And then there is the 50 year mortgage which increases your interest paid by 100 percent over the life of the loan

you know in a functioning society people can afford to both have shelter and retire in old age

This article by Reuters is hot garbage. 👇🏼 Apartment rents went from +15% growth in 2022 to negative today, with over half of properties now offering at least one month free.

Urgent update: Trump suggests cancelling upcoming elections. I spoke with Governor JB Pritzker who says to take his threats seriously. Meanwhile, Republicans say Trump will be impeached if he invades Greenland all while European troops have landed on the island. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Oh, look! An imaginary car ramming caused imaginary internal injuries. Who knew!

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

Donald Trump is too busy giving Americans whiplash rather than the care they need. The abrupt issuance then reversal of cutting life-saving programs sent providers and communities into a tailspin. The administration continues making life and death decisions in a reckless way.

EIGHTEEN House races in the Democrats' favor! Great news for the Democrats.. . Bad news for me... I need to update all my graphics, all my Bluesky lists,and my giant Excel spreadsheets.

The Cook Political Report moves 18 House races in Democrats' direction.

OMG! I just got internal bleeding from pretending to be hit by a car.

Trump should be scared. Pennsylvania congressional seats PA-07 and PA-10 are both ranked Toss-Up by @cookpolitical.com And… and... there's a chance Republicans could also lose PA-08, which is ranked Lean Republican. That's three good pickup opportunities for Democrats. wapo.st/4jAAuic

We are living in the most corrupt times ever. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

An ICE Agent's Life in Four Acts:

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using armed, militarized agents to provoke Minnesotans. The Insurrection Act should not be used as an excuse to send armed troops into our streets.

BREAKING: Measles virus detected in wastewater in Laredo Texas

You're willing to drag the world into deadly turmoil when your only reason for being in power it to avoid jail.

And there it is, what the corrupt & stupid authoritarian tyrant Donald planned all along . . .

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty. Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

I hope in the future when we wrest back the govt from the current regime, we put up some guardrails to stop politicians from just defunding vital govt programs with no rhyme or reason

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

Finger so short it's like a clitoris

'Washington has three big levers that affect growth: fiscal policy, monetary policy and credit policy. This year, all three are dialed toward stimulus, reflecting a single-minded focus by Trump and congressional Republicans on faster economic growth.' www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

I predict that Jonathan Ross's "internal bleeding" will have healed just as quickly and thoroughly as Donald Trump's "gunshot wound" to his ear.

How time flies. 7 years ago today, I was honored and humbled to be sworn in as Governor of Illinois. Just as excited as I was then to make our state one that thinks big to work for everyone.

Lag-7: Worth watching this potential Diamond or complex Head-and-Shoulders pattern, given outsized market weight.

Former NC Gov. Roy Cooper (D) raised over $9.5 million in Q4 for his Senate race. Contributions came from each of the state’s 100 counties. Over 90% of those contributions were small donations under $100. Hopefully we can try drive donations from all 50 states. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

To prevent WWIII, will someone please release the Epstein files?

American taxpayers shouldn't be treated as pawns. If Trump keeps threatening to illegally withhold funds from Illinois, then we'll keep fighting for what our people deserve. We've beaten the administration in court before — and we're not afraid to keep doing so.

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

A significant difference between Hitler and Trump? Hitler doesn’t appear in the Epstein files.

Tap to pay is finally here! METRO now has this available on every bus and at all rail platforms for your use. As long as you have your tap enabled credit card or mobile wallet you can board the bus. Don't worry you can still pay with cash, but this is a great addition.

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation. I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift. Thank you for your attention to our delusions.
