BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made +$192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

I see this differently than those who think this is intended to make Americans sicker. I think it’s part of a plan replace fed workers w/ contractors so that billion-dollar firms can make even more $$ off our tax dollars. MMW, we’ll spend more on contract work than these fed employees ever cost us.

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion?

“Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡

Really looking forward to the @jasonleopold.bsky.social FOIA for the staffer's notes who put this together, DURING a shutdown.

Not least bc (as @whitehouse.senate.gov noted), the Reid Hoffman slur was false.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

And you know what is crazy? You can get that care almost anywhere in Europe as a traveler who might have a medical issue while traveling. Sometimes it’s like $25 - but still cheap. Same for Australia. Too many entities need to get their cut in the US system, so healthcare costs are inflated.

People in the Trump WH are upset that the Sec'y of Commerce suggested that Trump's former Sec'y of Labor has access to videos of Epstein's massage room and that everyone who spent time with Epstein knew he was gross but he bribed them all into silence with said videos. zeteo.com/p/trump-jeff...

But the Administration feels like they are on top of their operational security? Really? If they are this loose with their phones, think of what our enemies know these days?

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?
