Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.
@desmichael1992@Jomboy_ Struck his ass out so he can chirp as much as he wants. That’s the rules. Dude gets a hit, pitcher’s whining. Dude strikes out, you’re whining.
@Jomboy_@NateBuiltIt Skubal makes baseball FUN! Love your take about psycho between the lines but normal dude off the field. Love that kind of energy from players… makes baseball way more interesting. Game within the game.
You could start by walking down the hall. See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
You know what would be amazing if Vance and his team can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; keeps the straits open without charging anyone; and commits to all of this for at least ten years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
@cbperkinscb@CER_Grant “It was our watch, and we let Israel/France/Russia/India/UK/Pakistan/North Korea get a nuke.” Certainly not ideal, but not an existential risk to the US, and never has been.
Let me get this straight.
The Pentagon is recruiting Wall Street bankers by promising them access to foreign royals and government secrets to help them raise their next fund.
This is the swamp. Deeper than ever.

OK, MAGA.
Russia is giving Iran intelligence to help target American forces.
Ukraine is offering to help defend American troops from Iranian drones.
So tell me again: which one is the “enemy,” and which one is the ally?
A reader, the father of a Marine awaiting call-up, just wrote to ask why Trump ordered US flags to fly at half-staff after Charlie Kirk's death but hasn't done so for the six service members killed in the opening of the US-Israel war against Iran.
This is the most important thing happening in the world right now.
The administration wants killer drones + mass surveillance of Americans.
Anthropic refuses to build it. While most tech companies fall in line, they are prepared to pay the price for their principles.
