The midterms are this simple:

Biden and Democrats inherited a poorly managed pandemic, massive job loss, and a ruined economy from Trump in 2021.

They added jobs every month, the pandemic recovery went better than in peer nations, and by 2024 the US economy was dubbed the Envy of the World and was so strong it improved the entire global outlook.

That was what Republicans and Trump inherited.

Then, they slammed the brakes on the economy, killed job growth, drove up inflation, made healthcare far more expensive, kicked one million children off of food assistance, started an illegal war, angered our allies, and made the nation sick from cuts to health inspections and disease monitoring, not to mention the rampant corruption that has enriched the president and his family with billions of dollars.

The midterms are your chance to change this.

It is time to vote those who have failed us out of power.

BREAKING: James Talarico just went into a county that Donald Trump won in 2024 and received one of the largest standing ovations we've ever seen. The tide is turning and we could not be more excited.

[Andrew Lokenauth @FluentInFinance]

$11 trillion of America's debt was added while President Trump was in office.

That’s 28% of the entire $39.5 trillion national debt, more dollars than under any U.S. President in history.

That includes $3.3 trillion added in less than 18 months since he returned to office. At this point, he owes us money.

[Matt McCollum @McCollumMatt]

Doesn’t help that we have an administration run by a known con-man who has no regard for the working man/woman either.

[Andrew Lokenauth @FluentInFinance]

I’m convinced much of America’s $39.5 trillion national debt came from corruption, fraud, and waste.

Wasteful programs. Failed projects that burned billions. Trillions spent with little to show for it.

American taxpayers have been robbed.

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

WOW! James Talarico just packed the Plano Event Center in Collin County—blew the roof off Ken Paxton's own backyard—with 4,000+ people, standing room only, and lines wrapped around the building.

This is the county that launched Paxton's career, the same county where his securities fraud mugshot was taken 15 minutes up the road, and the same county Republicans called "unflippable."

And a Democrat just brought the house down in it.

Talarico looked at that crowd and said what we're all thinking: "They're afraid of this movement. They're afraid of this crowd in Plano, Texas."

Damn right they are.

Paxton's out here calling him "Talafreakco" like a middle school bully while Talarico's selling "I'm a Talafreako" shirts and outraising every Senate campaign in Texas history.

First quarter: $28 million, more than double Beto and Colin Allred combined.

Real men don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't scam their own friends for a quick buck. They don't serve themselves—they serve others. Ken Paxton has escaped accountability for 4,000+ days. But accountability is coming November 3.

Democrats, pay attention. This is what it looks like when you run on corruption, not away from it. This is what it looks like when you fight in their backyard and win the crowd.

The suburbs are shifting. Collin County is shifting. Texas is shifting.

Retrumplican crook politicians don't own you. You own them.

LFG TEXAS!!!

The U.S. government is now adding about $35 billion to the deficit every week.

At the same time, it is spending about $22 billion a week on net interest on the national debt.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2026:

• The national debt climbed to $39.39 trillion
• The federal deficit hit $1.373 trillion
• Interest paid so far this year: $857 billion (up 13%)

Interest now costs more than Defense, Education, Homeland Security, Commerce, the EPA, and the Small Business Administration combined.

The Pentagon spent $677 billion over the same nine months.

Net interest cost $180 billion more.

And the pressure keeps building. Social Security spending rose $62 billion. Medicare rose $58 billion. Medicaid rose $49 billion. America keeps aging (median age hit 39.4 last year). More retirees, bigger bills, every year.

CBO projects net interest will top $1 trillion this year and reach $2.1 trillion by 2036.

Corporate taxes fell $86 billion (24%) while withheld paycheck taxes rose $115 billion (4%).

Every rise in interest leaves less room for tax cuts, public services, and the next crisis.

🚨US STOCK MARKET IS ABOUT TO DUMP HEAVILY:

Apple went public at under $2B and 15x revenue

SpaceX goes public at $2T and 100x revenue

I’ve been in the markets for 13 years, and IPO boom we’re seeing now is the biggest red flag I’ve ever seen.

Here’s what will happen & why:

First, let's talk about Apple example, where you got a $2B valuation with $2T here

So basically retails are not just not getting early but buying at the richest valuations, while early investors just exit

Here is more evidence:

- Fidelity cut min investment from $500K to $2K
- SpaceX allocated 30% shares to retail
- Millions of new buyers invited just before listing

All of that while insiders are owning 95% of shares, which means that $1.66T worth of stock is held privately

And even that's only the beginning

Instead of a standard long lockup, we have 60 days, 20% unlock, +30% stock move and another 10%

Days 70, 90, 105, 120, 135 recurring 7% release and after Q3 earnings another 28%

Means that by November, ~93% of insider shares will become sellable

Institutions are already front-running this forced index buying by:

- shortened inclusion timings
- selling current holdings
- raising cash

Based on all of that, you can already say what crash is waiting for us and we are not even talking about current market weakness

Retails are mass-selling assets to fund IPO participation

And as I said before, institutions are selling too to prepare for forced buying later

Another great reminder would be that the company itself, I mean SpaceX is losing money heavily

Q1 2026: $4.3B losses

Total losses are at $41.3B

There are the details that retail don't think about cause IPO docs have 300 pages, most just skip all of this info

Anthropic and OpenAI are the same story - valuations inflated by circular investment flows involving NVIDIA, and priced at levels that make little sense.

But the fact that these IPOs don’t deserve their current valuations because the companies aren’t profitable - and likely won’t deliver the profits investors are pricing in - is only half the problem. That’s just why I expect most of them to trade significantly lower within a year.

The other half is where the money comes from.

Capital flowing into these IPOs doesn’t appear out of thin air. Investors sell existing stocks to free up cash and participate in new offerings. That creates selling pressure across the broader market.

We saw the same dynamic during the dot-com era in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and we’re seeing it again today.

That's why if you read this, you probably get the biggest informational edge in your lifetime.

And now choose whether you want to join IPO and become that exit liquidity or actually make money from it

In the coming days I will tell you more details and my strategy on how I am planning to play this out and make money

So make sure to follow me and turn notifs on

JUST IN: US auto loans have exploded to $1.68 TRILLION. For the first time in history, car debt is bigger than credit card debt.

It now matches the total amount of U.S. student loans.

People are taking 7-10 year car loans just to afford a monthly payment.

The average American now pays $735/month just to own a car. That’s $88,200 over 10 years. On something that LOSES value every single day.

Meanwhile....

Car prices are up 35%+ since 2020 and repossession rates hit a 30-year high last year.

Let that sink in.

The "American Dream" is being sold back to you on high-interest debt.

Tyler Allgeier left Atlanta to sign with Arizona so he finally could be the lead back. Then on draft night, with the third overall pick, the Cardinals selected Jeremiyah Love, thrusting Allgeier right back into a similar position.

@str8edgeracer @KamalaHarris It appears only in an attempt to pull/push her away from instigating trouble with the DHS agents who then subsequently pulled him away and murdered him. This is not a justified killing and this is anti-American.

DURBIN: Were you consulted by the White House before they deployed National Guard troops to cities in the US?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with the White House

DURBIN: You won't even say whether you talked to the White House about this?

BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any internal conversations with you

DURBIN: They're going to transfer Texas National Guard troops to the state of Illinois. What's the rationale?

BONDI: You voted to shut down the government. I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump. And currently the National Guard are on way to Chicago.
