To be clear, there is zero — ZILCH — evidence that Wes Moore led soldiers in direct combat as he has claimed in the past. His Combat Action Badge was awarded because he was on base during an indirect fire incident. Three rockets struck his base, injuring nobody.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore responds to claims from his former Army supervisor, retired Lt. Col. James Gottschling, that he never led soldiers in combat in Afghanistan. @iamwesmoore: “I pray for him and his family. ... I think his OER of me and what he wrote about me before that speaks for itself.” His full conversation with @chucktodd releases this Sunday at 6PM, only on Noosphere noosphere.app/author/chuckto…

"But….Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes."
The woman who blocked the project told Fox the $5B investment would only benefit the employees of the data center, advocating for the site to be turned into an indoor trampoline park instead. Every local trade union and small business is weeping.

Incredible stuff. A Maryland mall closed down over 20 years ago and the lot has been sitting vacant since. A developer planned to invest $5 billion in a data center. Instead, a China-tied group worked with a local activist to block the development. freebeacon.com/china/grassro…

Whoa. That’s because of our @FreeBeacon report. Lebanese consul Ibrahim Charara, who was at an event with Abdul El-Sayed last week, is being kicked out of US for calling the Marine barracks attack “heroic resistance.” freebeacon.com/democrats/leb…
‼️ The State Department declares the Lebanese consul in Michigan persona non grata over social media posts attributed to him praising Hezbollah’s 1983 attack on U.S. Marines in Beirut.

“Everything I don’t like in politics is because voters were misinformed by advertisements” is an authoritarian mindset.
Michigan Democratic Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed said his first mission will be eradicating the influence of money in American politics. “Why don’t we have guaranteed health care? Money in politics. Why don’t we have unions? Money in politics,” he said. wapo.st/4kxGzym

Extremely hilarious. Dan Osborn doesn't have an authentic bone in his body. Good chance he would have won if he ran as the Democrat he is.
It's pretty hilarious that Dan Osborn should have just run as a Democrat instead of pretending he's an Independent

Tarek Mansour has for days now said that what sets him apart from casinos is that he doesn't win if you lose But the NY AG now says that actually the other side of your parlay bet is literally Kalshi Trading!
Replying to @WALLACHLEGAL
On Kalshi “combo” bets, the NY AG alleges, the other side is not another ordinary user: it is either Kalshi’s in-house market maker, Kalshi Trading, or one of the platform’s approved market makers.

Frederick Haynes, the pastor of Jasmine Crockett running to replace her in the House, never filed his financial disclosure report, which was due in August. Not sure what's the point of having the law if candidates can just ignore it.

If the polls are off AGAIN this year then, idk, we need a total industry reset
“After more than 85,000 phone calls and nearly 50,000 text messages, a potential problem emerged. Democrats were far more enthusiastic about taking the poll than Republicans were.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Ram Chhetri came to the US as a refugee, but this might be worst day of his life: It's the moment he realizes the $80k-$160k/year salary he's bilked from Medicaid for no-show work is coming to an end because @realdailywire caught the truth on camera. We conducted months of surveillance that shows why "home care aide" is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud. Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state doesn't just look the other way, but helps them get away with it. Converting federal health dollars into a universal basic income for certain communities relieves the financial burden they place on the state. The scammers easily deceive the feds' woefully broken monitoring system. You'll see Ram pull into a driveway for 2 minutes in the morning, then 2 minutes in the evening. He clocks in and out of his shift from the right place, and the GPS system doesn't notice that he goes home in between. $20 an hour doesn't sound like much, but at 77 hours a week, it's $80k–and it's easy to bill huge hours when you don't actually have to work them. And that's just for the low-level guys in this scheme.

“Prediction market” itself is a nonsensical propaganda term deliberately designed to hide reality and con people into believing they’re not gambling. It’s a betting contract. It predicts nothing. You are betting on an outcome. Are point spreads predictive? Of course not. They’re nothing more than a number that gets you to where you have the same amount of money on either side so the bookmaker never takes a loss.
First, full disclosure, as always: Kalshi is a sponsor on our show. So people will take any opinion with a grain of salt, which is fine. But at the heart of the Kalshi question is a simpler one: what’s the difference between a prediction market and a traditional betting platform, like DraftKings? I asked Tarek Mansour that question directly. Here’s his answer.

Big problem with this line -- the vast, vast majority of Kalshi trades are sports, "exotics" (aka Parlays), and 15-minute crypto markets. Politics and current events, hardly a drop in the bucket. Note the retail losses column. You WILL lose your money if you play on Kalshi
Replying to @benshapiro
FWIW, I – like scholars ranging from Philip Tetlock to Kenneth Arrow to Daniel Kahneman – believe that there are positive externalities to prediction markets (more widely available accurate information, the ability to hedge against future events, e.g.), and that they work differently than actual betting markets. That doesn’t mean people can’t and don’t abuse them. But people do the same with day trading, and that doesn’t mean the stock market is the same thing as DraftKings.
