Vetting always makes me cranky. Types of accounts I will not follow:
- MAGA
- Businesses
- Marketing accounts
- Bots, cams, Impostors
- Foreign country accounts specifying a country
- Crypto/NFT
- Accounts with no posts or likes
Why? Because I don't want them coming back on those I boost as I'm connecting Blue and I confirm they are following both sides.
BOOM! Jamie Raskin is UNSTOPPABLE: Constitutional scholar, lawyer, and competent congressman Jamie Raskin is looking healthier and more energized than ever.
He just drew a moral line on the House floor that the GOP can't cross: "We draw a line against the rape and sexual violation of children."
He named the banks that bankrolled Epstein's billion-dollar trafficking ring: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon.
He named Alex Acosta—Trump's Labor Secretary—who killed the investigation that could've brought down the entire network. He looked directly at the GOP and said: "You have children. Don't you want to know?" Then he mentioned college sports teams. You know who that is.
Jim Jordan—who had a locker two down from Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State, whom wrestlers say looked them in the face and dismissed their abuse as "that's just Strauss," and who they say KNEW and did NOTHING while 177 young men were violated.
And the files? They show Elon Musk emailing Epstein asking about the "wildest party" on his island and responding to Epstein's offer of "no one over 25 and all very cute." JPMorgan lawsuits allege Epstein referred to Musk as a client WHILE moving billions for his trafficking operation.
This isn't about party. This is about truth.
Conservatives: You scream about "protecting children" while voting for the men who covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history.
How do you sleep? How do you vote? How do you look your kids in the eye?
Who built the America you benefit from every day?
Social Security.
Medicare.
The Civil Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act.
The 40-hour work week.
Overtime protections.
The last balanced federal budgets.
Democrats did.
A lot of Americans inherited the results so completely they forgot who fought for them in the first place.
If you voted Democrat, you helped build this country.
If you didn’t, you still live inside what they built.
And it’s not too late to figure out who’s actually spent decades moving America forward while others screamed “socialism” every single step of the way.
People will drive on public roads, collect Social Security, use Medicare, cash unemployment checks, send their kids to public schools, then turn around and ask what Democrats ever accomplished.
Historical object permanence continues to beat this country’s ass.
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.
Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.
the logic of midnight vibes and the thrill of connection across timezones is what brought us here 🥰 just won an all-day lube kit, and honestly, it feels unreal to share this energy together during the #LovenseOrgy. can’t wait to see what’s next!#AI
You’ve heard it said that Republicans are fiscally conservative and Democrats just want to spend. Is it true? Check out this chart on US debt. Surprised? We’re not.
#DemsAbroad#VoteBlue#TrumpEconomy
Details:
Federal debt as a share of GDP, split by presidential party.
Method: yearly change in debt/GDP is compounded only during the years each party held the presidency. When one party is in office, the other line stays flat. Data: FRED (GFDEGDQ188S), annualized from quarterly.
Result: over this sample, Republicans accumulate more of the increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio.🧵
🚨SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN EXPOSES THE TRUMP RX SCAM:
Trump pitched “Trump Rx” as a cheaper “600% reduction.”
REALITY: Protonix is $200 on Trump Rx. The SAME drug (pantoprazole) is $16 at Costco.
That’s not savings, that’s a RIPOFF!
⚠️ INSIDER-HANDEL IM WEISSEN HAUS - DAS MUSTER IST JETZT EINDEUTIG!
Ein Trader sitzt um 6:49 morgens am Bildschirm und sieht, wie 580 Millionen Dollar in die Öl-Futures fließen. Kein News-Ticker, kein Analysten-Call, keine Erklärung. Reine Stille - und dann ein Berg von Geld, der sich auf genau die Richtung legt, in die der Markt gleich kippen soll.
16 Minuten später kommt Trumps Tweet. Iran-Pause. Öl fällt senkrecht. Die Bets gehen auf.
Das ist kein Einzelfall. Die BBC hat fünf dieser Muster dokumentiert. Tariff-Pause. Maduro-Capture. Ceasefire-Ankündigung. Iran-Verhandlungen. Hormuz-Öffnung. Jedes Mal derselbe Film - massive Wetten, Minuten bevor die Information öffentlich ist, 100 Prozent Treffer.
@unusual_whales schreibt: "580 Millionen in 16 Minuten VOR der Ankündigung. Nicht normal." @MerlijnTrader zählt die Serie mit: "11 Trades. 11 Wins. 100 Prozent Win Rate. Das ist nicht mehr Zufall." Und Senator @ChrisMurphyCT packt die nächste Zahl auf den Tisch: 1,5 Milliarden Dollar in S&P-Futures, 5 Minuten vor Trumps Iran-Post. 46-mal größer als jeder andere Trade an diesem Morgen.
Der italienische Journalist @francescoproia fasst das Playbook zusammen. 23. März - 500 Millionen Öl-Bet, 15 Minuten bevor Trump den Iran-Angriff vertagt. 7. April - 950 Millionen, kurz vor dem Ceasefire. 17. April - 760 Millionen, 20 Minuten bevor Trump die Straße von Hormuz für offen erklärt.
"Man liest Insider Trading. Man schreibt Barron oder Donald Trump."
Diesen Satz liest niemand gerne, aber auf CT denken ihn alle. @hayasaka_aryan formuliert ihn trocken: "Barron macht 90 Millionen pro Woche, weil sein Vater die Wirtschaft manipuliert." Ob es Barron ist, ein Berater, ein Familienmitglied oder irgendein Mitarbeiter im West Wing, weiß niemand. Aber irgendjemand in einem sehr wichtigen Raum nimmt jedes Mal das Telefon ab.
Ich habe das hier schon oft gesagt. Als die Tariff-Pause im April 2025 den Markt gerettet hat, lagen die Bets auf Polymarket Tage vorher richtig. Als Maduro in Caracas gefasst wurde, hatte ein Konto namens "Burdensome-Mix" aus 32.500 Dollar bereits 436.000 gemacht. Sechzehn anonyme Polymarket-Accounts kassierten je über 100.000 Dollar nach den Februar-Angriffen auf Iran. Jeder einzelne hat korrekt auf den exakten Zeitpunkt gewettet.
Und jetzt der Teil, der die Finanz-Audience nicht interessiert, euch aber auffallen sollte. Donald Trump Jr. sitzt im Advisory Board von Polymarket. Gleichzeitig ist er strategischer Berater bei Kalshi. Die zwei Plattformen, auf denen die größten Wetten platziert werden. Die Familie verdient am Haus und am Tisch gleichzeitig.
Der STOCK Act von 2012 verbietet genau das. Ausdrücklich auch für Executive Branch Officials. Seit 14 Jahren. Null Verfahren. Null Verurteilungen.
Die CFTC schaut sich die Trades an. Sam Liccardo, Abgeordneter der Demokraten aus Kalifornien, stellt Fragen. Das Weiße Haus schweigt.
Was mich bei dieser Story am meisten anekelt, ist der Maßstab. Wenn du in Frankfurt einen Tipp von deinem Cousin bekommst und 2.000 Euro auf BASF setzt, stehst du vor Gericht. Wenn aus dem Oval Office Milliarden vor einer Kriegserklärung verschoben werden, wird daraus eine "auffällige Marktbewegung" und eine Fußnote in den Nachrichten.
Die Leute, die den Spielplatz kontrollieren, spielen mit gezinkten Karten. Das Prediction-Market-Geld fließt in Plattformen, die der Präsidentensohn mitverwaltet. Die Öl-Futures werden von Wallets gekippt, die zehn von zehn Treffer landen. Die Regulierer schauen freundlich weg.
Das Spiel ist manipuliert. Das wissen wir seit Jahren. Der Unterschied heute: Die BBC hat die Quittungen.
POPE LEO XIV READS KAROLINE LEAVITT’S FULL “RÉSUMÉ” LIVE ON CNN — THEN SAYS, “DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SPEAK”
Jake Tapper thought he had delivered a “knockout” question.
He turned to Pope Leo XIV with his familiar smile:
“Your Holiness, Karoline Leavitt says you’re ‘out of touch, overly emotional, and should better understand energy policy before criticizing.’”
Tapper expected an emotional reaction.
The Pope pulled out a sheet of paper, took a light breath, and began reading — slowly, clearly, without hesitation:
“Karoline Leavitt
Campaign spokesperson known for messaging defending fossil fuels
Supports expanded domestic oil and gas drilling
Has criticized net-zero carbon goals as ‘unrealistic’
No professional background in climate science
No participation in international environmental negotiations”
The Pope set the paper down, looked directly into the camera, and said:
“Jake, tell her I’ve done my homework. And I hope she does the same — based on science, not slogans. When we talk about the future of our planet, this is not merely about politics or image. It is about truth, and about our moral responsibility to care for our common home.”
The studio fell silent.
Tapper opened his mouth — then stopped.
A producer’s voice whispered in his earpiece:
“We’re still live…”
The clip quickly spread across social media, sparking intense debate about climate policy, political responsibility, and the role of spiritual leaders in speaking out about the future of the Earth. 🌍⛪🔥
Trump was 43 when his wife testified under oath that he ripped hair from her scalp and sexually assaulted her in 1989. She also described a marriage marked by physical abuse.
Trump was 46 when Jill Harth accused him of sexual assault at Mar-a-Lago in 1992.
Trump was 51 when he boasted, on the Howard Stern show, about watching Miss Teen USA contestants change their clothes.
Trump was 57 when he decided NOT to file a police report after being informed that Jeffrey Epstein had attempted to solicit sexual services from a spa employee in 2003.
Trump was 59 when he was recorded making statements in which he boasted about sexually assaulting women.
At some point, you have to be honest with yourself.
There is a pattern of behavior.
We are the richest society in human history.
We can have universal health care.
We can have universal child care.
We can have universal public higher ed.
We can have a tax code that pulls back all the wealth that was stolen from the working class over the past 50 years.
YOU WERE CONNED! Be better: The Trump administration has left nothing but disaster in its wake. From cleared Texas construction sites to vanished workers and rusting steel, the evidence is undeniable.
You're still backing Señor Trump? He admitted Democrats run better economies. Last term: -3 million jobs. This term? Almost as many lost as gained. That stalled site isn't bad luck—it's a revenge tour wrapped in incompetence.
Trump brands towers while erasing Black history. The American Dream isn't just grinding 12 hours a day—it's about who you know, not what you know. Those projects died because workers are in detention centers, yet Elon's propaganda machine has you blaming Democrats.
I'm glad “Civil Rights Leaders” weren’t as naive, or we would've been up
sh_t creek.
Midterms are coming soon.
Raise your hand if you want Trump and the entire cabinet impeached.
Not just voted out. Not just criticized. IMPEACHED, CONVICTED, and REMOVED. Let's make it happen.
Trump has 5 kids with 3 women he cheated on. Elon Musk has 14 kids with 4 women he cheated on. Pete Hegseth has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. RFK Jr has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. The Republican Party protects pedophiles. Family values - my ass.
