🚨 THIS IS INSANE.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons could be making 3 to 5x returns on every dollar they spent buying tariff refund rights.
Cantor Fitzgerald, now run by Lutnick's sons Brandon and Kyle, was buying tariff refund claims from companies at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar.
The firm told clients it had "capacity to trade up to several hundred million" in these claims.
They confirmed at least one $10 million trade was already executed as of July 2025. They said they expected that number to "balloon in the coming weeks." That was 9 months ago.
Today those claims are worth 100 cents on the dollar. The refund portal is live, $166 billion in refunds are being processed.
If Cantor bought $100 million in refund rights at 25 cents on the dollar, they spent $25 million.
They now collect $100 million from the government. That is a $75 million profit. A 300% return.
If they scaled to "several hundred million" as they told clients they could, the profits run into the hundreds of millions.
Howard Lutnick was the architect of the tariff policy.
He pushed Trump to impose them. He fought against officials who wanted to limit them. Then he left Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons and transferred his equity into a trust benefiting them.
Tax free under government ethics rules. He received $360 million from the buyout.
His sons positioned the firm to profit from the exact policy their father built.
Their father publicly championed tariffs he knew could be struck down while his sons were buying refund claims betting they would be.

MICHAEL BURRY HAD DROPPED A CHILLING WARNING:
“THE MOMENT YOUR INTEREST PAYMENTS EXCEED TAX REVENUE, YOUR COUNTRY OFFICIALLY BECOMES A PONZI SCHEME.” 👀
WHEN DEBT SERVICES ITSELF…
WHEN INTEREST OUTPACES INCOME…
THE SYSTEM STARTS EATING ITSELF.
THIS ISN’T THEORY.
THIS IS MATH.
AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
A doctor attempted to provide medical aid to Renee Good in Minneapolis. Trump regime ICE troopers stopped him, claimed to have medics, while blocking paramedics down the road as well.
When the doctor on scene identified himself as a physician, ICE responded:
"I don't care."
Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person who, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."
“When a phantom foundation wires $100m to the president's crypto company, America has a problem. When that arrives after Trump visits the UAE, the problem becomes a national security crisis. Trump's corruption is the greatest threat facing America.”

Here’s my message to Trump’s deputies: you are being directed to break the law by prosecuting his critics. If you follow illegal orders, the president may claim he’ll “protect you.” But the people are watching. When the rule of law returns, accountability will be restored, too.
🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment
"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way.
We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.
Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant. And she's right. But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either.
I hope instead you are engaged. You are paying attention. And you will vote—like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does.
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system.
And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."
