The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

I guess Don Jr. and Eric and Whiskey Pete and Budweiser Kash didn't get their trades in today, so everyone has to suffer.

7:30am on a Monday.

Isn't this the time when we expect another BS tweet about how the non-existent "peace talks" with Iran are going "beautifully?"

About how these are the greatest peace talks ever, nobody has ever seen peace talks like these?

All in a feeble attempt to rally the stock market?

Heh, you should see what CFTC isn't doing. 🫤

OCBS NEWS Q LIVE Vance says no agreement reached after marathon session of direct talks with Iran UPDATED 30М AGO

Ffs… This wasn’t a “marathon,” CBS.

It was one day of negotiations to resolve a conflict whose roots go back more than 70 years.

Google AI Overview There are 5 "e"s in the phrase "nonsense economy". Nonsense (2) economy (3) Note: While some social media discourse playfully references "3 E's" in the context of "the nonsense economy" (likely referring to the three 'e's in 'economy'), a strict letter count of the phrase "nonsense economy" yields 5.

Wait this is my favorite one so far.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

CFTC is supposed to have five commissioners but Trump has only nominated one (who was confirmed). They've lost much of their enforcement staff.

It is operating exactly the way that the administration wants it to.

Just an amazing scientific and engineering achievement. Wow.

In an active lawsuit against the FDA, the state of Missouri is arguing that access to the abortion drug mifepristone has reduced teen birth rates, thereby harming its political representation in Congress. It’s an argument being made in federal court not just on Fox

Faux News now promoting teen pregnancies.

W-T-actual-F?

"The problem is...."

Streisand Effect.

Streisand Effect on full display here.

What ceasefire? Iran is still fighting. Israel is still fighting. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. The only thing that happened is the U.S. stopped fighting. This isn't a ceasefire. It's a surrender.

Where is CFTC?

Where are the federal regulators that oversee futures trading?

66 Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding? A.R. Moxon

I keep coming back to this.

But administration insiders knew.

And they cashed in.

If you want to know why the federal regulator for @polymarket.extwitter.link only has one commissioner out of five, this is why.

So Don Jr. And Eric and other insiders can cash in.

"These bets were made even though, in the hours before a two-week ceasefire was announced on Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s rhetoric had escalated sharply and there were few signals that a ceasefire deal was imminent."

"NEW YORK (AP) — A group of new accounts on the prediction market Polymarket made highly specific, well-timed bets on whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire on April 7, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for these new customers."

Newly created Polymarket accounts bet big on US-Iran ceasefire in hours before Trump's announcement A group of new accounts on the prediction market Polymarket made highly specific, well-timed bets on whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire on April 7, resulting in hundreds of thousands of...

@polymarket.extwitter.link is a scam exchange for insiders to cash in.

These phony "derivatives" are a scam for insiders to cash in.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

In the month of March alone the price of limes rose 63%

The price of blueberries rose 44%.

The price nectarines rose 36%.

The price of grapes rose 32%.

The price of raspberries rose 27%.

All due primarily to the cost of oil rising as a result of the US-Israel war on Iran.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

At 12:57 AM, Trump wants the Supreme Court to strip millions of Americans of their citizenship while basing their decision on the constitutional precedent of a Mark Levin episode.

Strong disagree, sorry. Memphis is a great town, solid food scene (if one likes barbecue), good drinking scene, fine people. (Full disclosure: I have a bunch of friends there.) I have long enjoyed visiting Memphis.

F-15 WSO recovered alive. Was escaping and evading. Massive fire fight on tgt. Iranians were actively looking for him in the area.

NYT reports Hegseth is firing generals because they won’t take Black/female officers off the promotions list.🤔

In the middle of a war. 🎪

CNN: Sources are telling us that recent U.S. Intelligence assessments found roughly half of Iran's missile launchers are still intact and that thousands of one way attack drones are still in Iran's arsenal tonight. That's despite daily U.S. And Israeli airstrikes.
