@SenSchumer Senator Schumer please step down and let someone with real leadership ability take control, so we can fight appointments like this from happening.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

"It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead."

Trump's open contempt for wounded military is disgusting.

On Nov 22 2023, Nancy Pelosi and her husband bought Nvidia, $NVDA calls, a leveraged bet Nvidia would go up. She just now bought 10,000 more shares in $NVDA on June 24th 2024.

Since Nov 22, Nvidia is up 156%. Her calls have made her over $4 million, over TWENTY times her salary in 224 days.

I want to give you the history of Pelosi, her $NVDA trading, and show the conflicts within Congress:

Let’s start in December 2021. After a history of unusual trading, from Visa, trading during the GFC, and buying before stimulus bills, Nancy Pelosi was asked if she thinks US Congress members should trade despite legislative conflicts by Bryan Metzger.

She said, "We are a free market economy. Congress should be able to participate in that". Insane.

In Jan 2022 Unusual Whales releases their most famous trading report, showing Congress beat the market. Nancy Pelosi is listed as the fifth best trader in Congress.

That report creates a flurry of media and outrage, while the report continues to go viral. Within seven days of publishing, five new bills banning members of Congress from trading are proposed.

In the summer of 2022, it is revealed that Nancy Pelosi was trading millions of dollars of $NVDA, Nvidia before voting on a US semiconductor bill by the Biden administration.

We reported on her trading to outrage by the public. Interestingly, for the first time in history, a few days later Nancy Pelosi disclosed trades made on the same day they were made. This is likely the fastest disclosure in history of US Congress. She reported that she sold out of her Nvidia position, the first time she divested from conflicts in her portfolio. Despite taking 45 days for every other disclosure, she made this one instantly. Hilarious.

One month later Nancy Pelosi proposed alongside Representative Lofgren her own Congressional trading ban, a bill which was incredibly weak and filled with loopholes.

And then, Pelosi stopped trading. Well, until her $NVDA leveraged bet.

Right now, she still is holding onto her calls, and just bought more $NVDA shares. Let’s look at the context around her call buying.

One week after Chinese President Xi visits her home state of California, and before Biden announces new US semiconductor focuses, her husband decided to buy two million dollars of deep in-the-money Nvidia calls, the same company she divested from due to conflicts a year earlier.

What’s worse On Dec 11th, before she bought in November, U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo said that Nvidia could sell slower AI chips to China to comply with US export controls. And then, on Dec 28th, NVDA launched a modified version of an advanced chip precisely to get around US restrictions.

Nvidia now has released new US chips, and has hit all time highs (once again). Of course, none of this is insider trading, but it does seem unusual, especially given scrutiny of Nvida by the government.

Why does she trade ITM tech calls, you may ask? It allows for one to be bullish with less capital upfront, and the contracts move 1 delta to the stock. We wrote more about it on our research site, which you can find in our bio.

She has now seemingly doubled her position in $NVDA, adding 1,180,000 more $NVDA shares. Reminder, she initially divested from this trade WHEN THERE WAS A CONFLICT IN THE BILL.

One terrible thing about her Nvidia trades are that they are done when Congress was in session!!!!!! You can use Unusual Whales to find the exact price she paid for her options and leveraged bets.

What’s more, Pelosi seems to DISCLOSE her Nvidia trades when no one is looking, usually during short weeks (for example the trade was randomly disclosed after nine days this time), when the market closes RIGHT BEFORE a holiday, and while most people focus on Biden’s current campaign issues.

If you think that one of the most powerful politicians in the US can, or even should, have leveraged bets over an incredibly important company to US infrastructure, that is okay. But there might be something worthwhile in understanding how members of Congress trade, and the data suggests as such. Pelosi herself has lost a ton on trades, including when she divested from $NVDA last year, and yet despite that she decided to enter into it again.

But moreover, she CONTINUES to buy leveraged positions on crucial american companies, for example, buying $AVGO, Broadcom on June 24th. She (or her husband) continues to trade without recourse, despite being an incredibly important member of Congress.

So we will keep reporting on Pelosi, and Congress, and the history of unusual trading. Pelosi's portfolio itself is up around 112% over twelve months. If you want to find and follow her portfolio, you can do so on Unusual Whales in our Portfolio tab.

Pelosi has made likely twenty million this year alone off her tech portfolio, with a networth close to $300 million. No matter what trade or conflict though, I will report on it. If you believe this is an important issue, I ask you share this tweet with your friends and family.

Congress cannot hide from me, I will continue to report on the data, and I will not stop until Congress is banned from trading.

Happy fourth of July.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with a brutal Friday bombshell as lawyers from the prominent conservative Federalist Society publish a paper declaring that Trump MUST be banned from running for president “under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.”

But it gets WAY worse for Trump…

In their brutal paper, the Federalist Society accuses Trump of treason for “engaging in or gave aid and comfort to an insurrection against the constitutional government” when he incited the deadly January 6 insurrection as part of his failed coup attempt.

Adding insult to injury for Trump, the Federalist Society argues that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — known as the insurrection clause — is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. It covers a broad range of former offices, including the presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.”

The clause states that "no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Last September, a New Mexico judge ordered the removal of a county commissioner who took part in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision marked the first time since 1869 that a court disqualified a public official under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Now, it appears that it may be used against Trump — the mastermind who orchestrated the insurrection.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be banned from running for office ever again — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A
