I got my clearance held up because I forgot to tell the government I worked at Gap for like three months when I was 16 but yeah this is cool too. Pretty sure there’s a specific question on the SF-86 that addresses attempting to overthrow the government through means of violence
@Asheton3Samaha THIS. Allegedly, I would throw a tantrum if another family was seated at the table with the yellow umbrella and would stare at them and ask why they were sitting at my table.
Love that they post stuff like this and in the same day turn around and sell off public lands to mining and oil companies and eliminate clean water and air standards
“Prediction markets” have to either go away entirely, or be regulated strictly. Insider trading is illegal everywhere else, and it should be the same in this scenario.
It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.
When this person bought in, the market had this at a 17% probability. They turned roughly $87,000 into over half a million dollars overnight.
Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board and his firm invested double-digit millions into the platform last year. The DOJ and CFTC both had active investigations into Polymarket that were dropped after Trump took office.
Prediction markets cannot be a vehicle for profiting off advance knowledge of military action.
We need answers, transparency, and oversight.
Reminder that the entire idea of the entire government shutting down and workers going unpaid was the idea of literally one guy in the 80s who had a different interpretation of the law than people from the previous 200 years.
PARTIAL GOV SHUTDOWN:
- Started Saturday, technically.
- But per OPM orders, most of the shutdown actions are underway this morning.
- That includes potential furlough notices.

A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement and this is your response? You and the state’s entire Democrat leadership team have been flaming the flames of insurrection for the singular purpose of stopping the deportation of illegals who invaded the country.
If I owned a restaurant, I would have an option on the menu where for like $10, we would share a lil gossip with you about something happening in the restaurant
This White House will NEVER betray our law enforcement officers. Not now. Not ever.
We stand with the brave men and women who risk everything to keep our communities safe. #NationalPoliceWeek
Stephen Miller says the White House is looking into suspending habeas corpus, which protects people from unlawful detentions: "A lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not."
