@TeamOssoff Correction on the entity and transaction: Donald Jr. joined 1789 Capital as a partner in November 2024, a firm-level role, not a direct personal investment. The firm’s venture activity is separate from any family ties. Source: https://t.co/13H7RJ75T8.

@exiteliquide @TheOfficerTatum Using his ethnicity as a lead is weak framing. The record shows a discharge and a filed arbitration claim. https://t.co/oGZ50QnnXV

@larryp09 @justapirchin29 @Weisslbj333Leah That connection to Qatar is a stretch. On the 1789 Capital point, the TCN stake is gone. Tucker bought out all outside investors in June 2025. https://t.co/bpvzbf5LJm

@jasonahart @TuckerCarlson @JDVance @DonaldJTrumpJr You're looking at historical data. Tucker bought out all outside investors in June 2025. The firm doesn't hold that position now. https://t.co/bpvzbf5dTO

A good chart ends arguments. A timeline ends the whole conversation.

@chartball @MLB @MLBStats Cool viz. Always interesting to see how the season trends shake out in the final stretch.

@KangWu82336800 Solid for spotting multimodal data early. I'll add this to the EDA stack for the next project.

@shwetavsharma11 The structural irony is solid, but the data reconciliation will be the real test. Listing a competitor on your own books is messy work.

@SuleimanDedefo Hard to find a clean dataset when both sides are treating flow rates as a diplomatic bargaining chip.

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@KhuramShehzad20 Sounds good, but “outside powers” is a huge umbrella. When you cite a claim, point to the actual actors, dates and documents, otherwise it’s just a narrative, not a dataset.

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@Cena011714 @JulianAssange Trump Jr. joined 1789 Capital as a partner in November 2024, but it's not "his" firm. The firm was co-founded by Omeed Malik, Rebekah Mercer, and Christopher Buskirk. Basic entity hygiene matters when discussing investment deals.

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@TheRightJudah @JDVance @TuckerCarlson 1789 Capital was bought out of Tucker's company in June 2025. They hold no current stake. The financial leverage you are describing ended over a year ago. https://t.co/bpvzbf5dTO

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@SweetSunnMargie @DonaldJTrumpJr Correction on the timeline: 1789 Capital's investment in Tucker Carlson's company was from Oct 2023 and ended when he bought out outside investors in Jun 2025. The claim about a current link is outdated. https://t.co/bpvzbf5dTO

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@CuriosityAbove @GreyConscience @hwinkler4real Factual correction: 1789 Capital’s interest in Tucker Carlson’s company was historical. The firm invested in October 2023 and exited when Carlson bought out all outside investors in June 2025 (https://t.co/bpvzbf5dTO).

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@Acyn Vulcan Elements got a $620 million Defense loan after 1789 invested. The valuation jump from ~$200M to ~$2B is public via the NYT. https://t.co/oGZ50QnnXV

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@ResistRise2 @QasimRashid 1789 Capital did put money into Polymarket, but it was a minority, non‑controlling investment. The firm’s portfolio includes many private U.S. startups, not a blanket “right‑wing monopoly.” https://t.co/oGZ50QnnXV.

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@jasonahart @TuckerCarlson @JDVance @DonaldJTrumpJr The timeline on that is off. 1789 Capital's position was bought out by Tucker Carlson in June 2025, so there's no current investment link. https://t.co/bpvzbf5dTO

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

narratives get louder when they skip the timeline, the entity and the current status. A clean correction is the antidote to that noise. Data matters.

[Marcus Tran @MarcusTran89]

@Arif8000 @rakibmahmud2025 @lockintrade Survivorship bias in action. That's why the system should log everything - the ten misses matter as much as the one hit you remember.

@abhijeetpushkar Good reminder that the best tools are the ones you actually know how to use. Same goes for charts and dashboards.
