@kennetheversole @DavidSacks Have you met some of those 350mil people that sit at the dumb end of the curve?
The world is pushed forward by the few.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

again, big picture, donald trump won an election about affordability and then he

- passed tariffs (which raise consumer prices)
- expanded the deficit w a ginormous corporate tax cut (raises interest rates)
- waged a stupid war (raises gas prices)
- and now refuses to sign a bipartisan bill to reduce housing costs bc he's protesting senate republicans for failing to pass voting restrictions

... while making $2 billion from crypto rug pulls that transferred income from his supporters to his bank account

americans hate the president for very good reasons

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

Right in front of our faces. Zero attempt to hide or conceal it. Absolute, total self-enrichment at a magnitude we have never really seen. And every week brings a new story just like it. They're getting richer at every opportunity.

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, per Bloomberg.

The US Attorney's Office for Washington, led by Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has subpoenaed the social media companies as part of criminal investigations, asking for personal information on at least two anonymous posters behind accounts that have chided immigration enforcement efforts.

@kaitlancollins The GOP went from 'back the blue' to - 'we'll consider paying you TENS OF MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars if you assault police officers on the behalf of Trump'...

Over at Substack, @JoshEakle asks: "It's 2026, and I have yet to see an anti-almond farm protest."

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Trump, TODAY, just stole $1.8 BILLION from the U.S. Treasury to hand out to his friends and allies through a fund with zero oversight and that expressly disclaims any responsibility for money lost to fraud!

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

[K A L E O @CryptoKaleo]

This is honestly 10x more egregious than anything FTX ever did.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Put him in a fucking strait jacket immediately.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.

Humans just launched into space, on their way to the moon (flyby around it). It'll be farthest humans have ever traveled into deep space 🤯 Congrats to all the incredible engineers & teams involved! LFG!!!!!!!

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:

* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.

* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.

More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.

Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."

The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Donald Trump in 2024 - “You are not going to have a war with Iran with me as president.”

JD Vance in 2025 - “I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East...but the difference is back then we had dumb presidents.”

Pete Hegseth in 2024 - “The foolishness with which we ricocheted around the world intervening, thinking it was in our best interest when really we just overturned the table and created something worse.”

These people are against every war except the ones they start. That's what happens when you're surrounded by a bunch of yes men.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

@PalmerLuckey Doing business with a convicted child trafficker?

That's enough info for 99% of sane America.
