Someone made at least $200 million trading crypto moments before Trump’s tariff announcement today.

In case you didn't know - the BTC whale closed 90% of his BTC short and fully closed his ETH short, making around $190-$200M profit in just one day on Hyperliquid.
The crazy part is that he shorted another 9 figs worth of BTC and ETH minutes before the cascade happened. And this was just publicly on Hyperliquid imagine what he did on CEXs or elsewhere. I'm pretty sure this guy played a huge role in what happened today.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

I used to think the Viking calendar-makers were badass, what with their four weeks between 14 Oct & 13 Nov being called "Slaughter Month."

Ha ha ha, it is to laugh.

I give you the ancient Persians' calendar:

Calendar:

October-November is Vrkazana, "Wolf Killing Month"
November-December is Aciyadiya, "Month of the Worship of the Fire"
December-January is Anamaka, "Month of the Nameless God"
January-February is Owayauva, "Month of the Terrible One"

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

As I've said before, FDA recalls are broad for even the suspicion of contamination. This is what they're supposed to do and it's a thankless task. The goal isn't to terrify people, but you need those things off the shelf.

I'm glad Paris put this round up together for folks. Been waiting for it.

I'm torn on that I both agree but also have to point out that even this level of response feels more than needed given RFK also discussed watching a TikTok about a female professor taking Tylenol where her 8 month old baby was in the placenta.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
