Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

It's not betting when there's no risk involved. It's corruption.

Betting involves risk; corruption involves being in Trump's or Hegseth's inner circle in order to know for certain what is planned and when.

Sánchez: “Shame on those who remain silent in the face of injustice. Shame on those who exploit workers, who criminalise those who are different, who turn rights into commodities, who defend elite privilege, who support war and violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and the Middle East.”

Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy | Marina Hyde The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

glorious intro from Marina Hyde:

"You hear such a lot from Maga Republicans about how liberals think Trump voters are stupid. But not nearly enough about the far more salient point: that Donald Trump thinks Trump voters are stupid."
