SCOOP: Someone made nearly $1m from dozens of remarkably accurate and well-timed bets about Iran, according to a new analysis of Polymarket data shared with CNN. They have 93% "win rate" for Iran bets over $10k since 2024, raising insider trading concerns https://t.co/5FPOJZoyhB
Jared Kushner has no official role in government. No oversight. No accountability. So he can negotiate on behalf of the US government while shaking down gulf autocrats for billions and promising them god knows what. Staggering corruption.
Thousands of people have been arrested during ICE operations in Minnesota over the past two weeks. Multiple attorneys allege that for some of those detained, including at least one U.S. citizen, DHS is denying their constitutional right to see an attorney. https://t.co/eLdAp1S3F3
Hitler’s Gestapo, SS, and Brownshirts arrested, tortured, and killed leftists. Dachau’s first prisoners weren’t Jews, but left-wing Germans who opposed him.
What's important is to understand the cumulative effect of it all. To not just see today's outrage.
See the silencing of Kimmel, the arrest of Comey, the harassment of Soros, the troops in our cities, the seizure of spending power, as all part of a plan to end our democracy.
Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.
It's growing in seriousness by the hour.
I’m praying for Charlie Kirk because he’s a human being and because he’s someone’s son.
I condemn the attack on him because it is morally wrong and because any act of political violence is an attack on America itself.
THIS IS INSANE.
I know Trump is a serial liar but in this case he actually believes the photoshopped picture his staff gave him of Alberto Garcia’s knuckles was real. That it had the letters and numbers ‘MS13’. And the interviewer keeps trying to move on, but Trump is the one insisting on repeating it. One of the craziest exchanges I have ever seen in an interview in my life. On so many levels.
Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.
I know some Dems are in knots over what to say right now, but I do think it's pretty straightforward:
We should oppose political violence in all its forms, whoever it comes from, whoever it targets.
We should oppose leaders who condone political violence.
We should oppose leaders who encourage political violence.
We should oppose leaders who amplify their supporters’ calls for political violence.
We should oppose leaders who say that our military and law enforcement should be able to shoot political protesters, or people who may have illegally crossed our border, or people who are merely suspected of breaking the law.
We should oppose leaders who’ve sent their armed supporters to scare our political representatives into throwing away our votes.
We should oppose leaders who’ve refused to stop political violence even when begged to do so by their own supporters.
We should oppose leaders who say that their supporters who've been convicted of committing political violence should be pardoned.
We should oppose these leaders because democracy can't survive if political violence becomes acceptable, and the only acceptable way to oppose these leaders is by persuading people to vote against them.
The people of Missouri would be hard pressed to find a more glaring waste of resources and money. Might as well just light your tax dollars on fire; at least a bonfire is entertaining.
He’s the president of the United States not the Governor of New York. He didn’t propose, pass, sign, or even support this law. He didn’t prosecute the case either.
But you know all that. You learned it at Yale Law. What stands out here is how eager you are to mislead voters.
Rep. McGovern: "Trump says jump, the MAGA extremists say 'how high?' Donald Trump asks them to impeach Joe Biden, and here we are ... when this is all over, I'm confident that the American people will overwhelmingly agree that this whole impeachment stunt is a national disgrace."
Trump's hack of political media has always been that he mirrors their complete lack of interest in any substance, in favor of political optics, news cycle stupidity, and performative bullshit. He is both a creation - and conductor - of the stupidity of political coverage.
