I’m old enough to remember, once upon a time, when insider trading used to be a crime.

Crypto is a currency designed by and for the criminally inclined.

The likelihood that we will never know the identity of this insider trader speaks volumes.

Crypto should be illegal.

An anonymous trader made a fast $88 million by shorting Bitcoin.

The trader made the bet that Bitcoin would plummet in value on Friday after opening their account “30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China."

Not suspicious at all, right?

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025

Simple messaging I recommend you share and text friends, family, and neighbors.

These are the lines Democrats need to be using.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

He always looks out for #1, and he's a germophobe. He was one of the first in the country to get the vaccine, originally. He's had Covid a few times, to, and has some pretty serious comorbidity conditions if he has #LongCovid effects. Vaccines help lessen those. He's clearly compromised.

You know what I consider both evil and murder? The orange felon getting his updated covid vaccines whilst he, his deranged MAGA chaos agent RFK Jr and fascist republicans try to prevent the public from getting and taking those same protections.

In response to trump’s new tariffs on China, China shut down rare earth export, globally: this means no weapons, war planes or cars can be produced. It takes years to upscale mining of rare earths anywhere else. China has the cards.

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.
