I want you to understand how unusual the moves were today.

Before Trump announced a pause, there was HUGE $QQQ volume on a 460C expiring 04/17.

They were bought for $0.85 and ran to as high as $31 per contract!!!

This was before any news.

Later in the day, it rallied 2000% in ten minutes.

The rationale for this cancellation is climate denial.

There is no dressing it up, there is no tiptoeing around it.

Yet climate change doesn’t care if we believe it. It will destroy our homes, multiply insurance rates, wreak economic havoc and more — regardless of our opinions or voting record.

Just so we’re all clear:

The economy is spiraling under Trump’s new tariffs, essential programs like Medicare/Medicaid are under attack, and yet all Republicans want is to pass more tax breaks for billionaires…

Got it.
Senate GOP passes budget plan, setting up a critical next phase for Trump agenda
The vote brings Republicans a step closer to finalizing a sweeping plan to address defense, energy, immigration and tax policy. But a number of potential wildcards must still be sorted out.

This is a big deal for mining in Oregon AND also by setting precedent for such a short comment period. I also wonder if an EA (environmental assessment) is appropriate-it means a finding of no significant impact.

I don’t know much about lithium mining..but would expect significant impacts.
🦬🚨 Public lands emergency alert! Dirty Doug Burgum is trying to pull a literal fast one on us by limiting the comment period for lithium exploration/mining in Malheur County, OR to just *FIVE DAYS*!!! The public only has until March 31st to comment on the BLM's EA, which was published on 3/26...

A proposed Southeast Oregon mine’s been under review for three years. Now the Trump administration is giving people four days to comment before proceeding.

If true and Witkoff joined this chat while in Moscow😳-that goes to some next level incompetence, a security violation that under normal circumstances would lead to termination and formal investigation. Certainly seems like something that Congress should look into. Hope it’s false.
So I put a quick timeline on the insane Signal classified chat and sure enough it looks like Kremlin asset Witkoff was in Moscow when he was added to the Houthi chat. I checked Russian media and he left 3/14 Friday morning (Moscow time) meanwhile the chat was set up Thursday

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

🇺🇸 J.D. Vance in 2016:

“I never supported Trump—I didn’t like him from the start. He’s a total fraud who just uses people. I might have to vote for Hillary if he had a real shot, but I can’t stand him. He’s toxic and leading the white working class into a dark future.”

You can find how your Senators voted here and talk to them about it on the phone tomorrow.

We all know gutting the Forest Service is dangerously mistaken, w/ likely disastrous consequences.

Congress could undo it— if they wanted to.

So, how did your Senators vote?
Alaska voters 👇🏻
Senate amendment reinstating terminated DOI and Forest Service employees was narrowly voted down. Of note, Murkowski voted yea, Sullivan voted Nay. If you feel some type of way about it, let them know!"

At this moment, Congressional Republicans are voting for a budget that would rip health care away from hundreds of thousands of Arizonans and devastate entire communities. And all of it to bulldoze room for tax cuts for the wealthy. Pretty much a new low for them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

Hate to rehash this, but it’s important context for why federal workers got an OPM e-mail on Saturday demanding “five bullets” by Monday night.

Real leaders prepare their people for change.

Insincere leaders announce workplace policy changes *on the weekend* w/ less than one business day to enact.
