Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Follow the money.

@unusualwhales.bsky.social

A new crypto wallet created Friday.

It literally started shorting the market, with Bitcoin & Etherum shorts, JUST BEFORE Trump posted re tariffs.

Last short placed at 4:49 PM EST.

Trump posted at 4:50PM EST.

~ $200 million in profits.

Unusual.

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Early Bitcoin Whale Shorted $1.1B Right Before Tariffs, Now Up $27M - How Did He Know?

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

This isn't about porn or gooner brain or whatever, it's not even about looks, this is about power. They don't want to see beautiful women, they want all women in media to be nothing but objects for the pleasure of (white) men.

Isn’t it also because our power companies owe billions of dollars in settlement money for all the fires they’ve started, or is that separate?

Also some more info about Rona

-Rona likes to use tentacles as extra arms.They're simple creatures formed from black substance.They constantly follow and surround Rona.
-Rona is the opposite of Adda and strives for total control in her life and over those she cares about (surprisingly, this Sam).

US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a close Trump collaborator, is being called out by US lawmakers for keeping Congress in recess amid the 2025 government shutdown, an apparent move to stall a long-anticipated vote on releasing the Jeffrey #Epstein files. #OpDeathEaters

Speaker Mike Johnson is pictured alongside Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — all of whom have been named or referenced in connections to the Jeffrey Epstein network in public records or reporting.

Donald Trump Jr. is also present, long known to have maintained public ties and online interactions with Andrew Tate, a self-described influencer facing human-trafficking charges.
