Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.

There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.

The right stack is always taller.

On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.

I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.

The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.

He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."

I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.

The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.

I waived it.

I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.

Let me show you what I processed this year.

January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.

February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.

March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.

I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.

In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.

I want to tell you about the soldier again.

He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.

In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:

Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.

None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.

Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.

My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.

The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.

She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.

I want to tell you about the fine.

$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.

Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.

On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.

The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.

The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.

The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.

The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.

He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.

The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.

In my field, we call this self-regulation.

The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.

Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.

I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.

As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.

My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

@WatcherGuru Isn’t this technically the same as Floyd mayweather betting on himself to win a match??

[barney @barneyxbt]

let me get this straight

it doesn’t matter how much evidence you present. emails, laws of physics, exposed connections, literal video footagenone of it is enough

a conspiracy theorist can lay out a bulletproof case with sources and the npc response is always the same.

“where’s your proof”

brother i just showed you the proof. you didn’t even look at it

nothing is real to these people unless anderson cooper says it on cnn or it gets stamped as “officially confirmed” by the same government that’s been lying to them their entire lives

they don’t want proof, they want permission to believe it.

and until their favorite news anchor tells them it’s okay to think for themselves they never will

the saddest part is they turned the general public into the gatekeepers of their own prison.

you don’t even need guards when the inmates police each other for free

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

I rarely read the filth you publish, and have never responded to it, for the same reason I avoid pornography. It’s unhealthy and I don’t want to encourage it. But in this specific case I understand exactly what you’re doing and I’d like to stop it now. I have never said or suggested that “everyone needs to know where their local Chabad is,” or anything remotely like it. I didn’t attack or even criticize Chabad, an organization I’ve mentioned precisely once in my life. Last week I said I believed that IDF soldiers in Israel have received third temple patches for their uniforms from Chabad. I believe that’s true. Please let me know if I’m wrong, not that you care. The point of your post is to blame me preemptively for violent attacks on American Jews that you believe are coming. This is an absurd slander of course. I abhor violence against innocents, which is why I am disgusted by what Israel has done in Gaza and why I argued against the current war in Iran. As a Christian and an American I also vehemently oppose punishing anyone on the basis of bloodline. The concept of “Amalek” has no place in Western civilization and certainly not in my country. I am therefore strongly opposed to anti-Semitism, precisely as much as I am to the anti-Arab hate you promote or the anti-white bias embedded in the US government and our largest institutions. It’s all immoral and indefensible. I believe in the inherent rights of the individual because I believe in God. What you’re doing divides this country more than you likely understand. I hope you will stop.

[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

The double slit experiment has haunted physicists for over 200 years.

When you shoot a single photon through two slits in a barrier, it doesn't choose one hole. It goes through both simultaneously, interferes with itself, and lands on the screen as a wave pattern, as if the particle somehow knew both paths existed and took all of them at once.

The moment you place a detector to watch which slit it goes through? The wave pattern vanishes. The photon suddenly behaves like a solid particle. The act of observation collapses the quantum superposition into a single definite reality.

Physicists called this "wave-particle duality" and for generations, we treated it as a quirk of space. A particle's relationship with physical barriers, physical gaps, physical measurement.

What just happened changes the entire frame.

Researchers didn't use slits carved into a material. They used slits carved into time itself — ultra-short switching windows in the electrical properties of a material, flickering on and off at trillionths of a second. Light passed through these temporal gaps the way it would normally pass through spatial gaps. And the interference pattern still appeared. Not across space. Across frequency.

Sit with that for a moment.

The wave behavior of light, the phenomenon we always associated with light spreading through physical space, reproduced itself in the time dimension. The photon interfered with its own past and future states the way it normally interferes across left and right positions.

What this quietly confirms is something theoretical physicists suspected but had never demonstrated: space and time are not just mathematically symmetric in quantum mechanics. They are physically interchangeable in ways that produce identical quantum behavior. The "slits" are interchangeable coordinates. The universe doesn't distinguish between a gap in space and a gap in time when it decides how reality should unfold.

The implications of that sentence are almost impossible to absorb without stopping completely.

We built our entire intuition about quantum mechanics around the geometry of space — particles passing through openings, waves spreading outward, interference happening across a physical screen. Every textbook, every lecture, every thought experiment uses spatial metaphors because that's the dimension we experience as "real" and navigable.

Time, by contrast, we experience as a river we're trapped inside — always moving forward, never able to go sideways in it. We don't experience temporal gaps the way we experience physical ones. A door has two holes, you can walk through either one. A moment in time doesn't seem to have "holes."

Except for a photon, apparently, it does.

The temporal slit experiment forces a deeply uncomfortable update to how we model light, matter, and information. If wave-particle duality operates across time the same way it operates across space, it means quantum superposition — that strange state of "being in multiple states simultaneously until observed" — is not just a spatial phenomenon. A particle can exist in multiple temporal states simultaneously. Its wave function doesn't just spread left and right. It spreads forward and backward in time.

This connects to something that's been sitting at the edge of quantum mechanics for decades: the block universe theory. In Einstein's relativity, past, present, and future all exist simultaneously as coordinates in a four-dimensional spacetime fabric. "Now" is just the slice of that fabric you happen to occupy. Physicists who take this seriously argue that the reason quantum mechanics is so strange is that particles already operate in the full four-dimensional block — they're not choosing a path through space, they're tracing a path through spacetime, and what we call "probability" is our limited three-dimensional perception failing to see the complete trajectory.

The temporal slit experiment edges us closer to that picture being literally, physically, measurably true.

And then there's the measurement problem. The original spatial double slit experiment breaks your brain because the act of looking destroys the wave behavior. Nobody has fully agreed on why. Some say the observer collapses the wave function. Some say the detector entangles with the photon and creates decoherence. Some say the universe splits. The temporal version of the experiment opens a new front in that war. When you measure a temporal slit — when you try to determine which moment the photon passed through — does the interference across frequency collapse the same way interference across space does when you watch it?

That experiment hasn't been done yet. The answer will either confirm that time and space are truly symmetric at the quantum level, or it will break the symmetry and reveal that time has a fundamentally different relationship with observation than space does.

Either outcome rewrites something important.

We think of physics experiments as things that happen in laboratories, relevant to scientists with particle accelerators and cryogenic equipment. But every foundational shift in quantum mechanics eventually rewires technology. The photoelectric effect sounded like a curiosity in 1905. It built every solar panel and digital camera in existence. Quantum tunneling sounded abstract. It gave us the transistor, and therefore every computer.

Wave-particle duality operating across time opens the door to temporal interference as an engineering tool. Controlling how light and matter interfere across time gaps — not space gaps — could produce entirely new forms of signal processing, photonic computing, and quantum communication that don't currently exist even theoretically.

The universe keeps revealing that the constraints we assumed were fundamental were just the limits of our instruments.

Time always looked like a wall.

Turns out it was a slit all along.
