I hate to break it you…… But Trump isn’t going to arrest a single person from “The Deep State”…. He IS the Deep State….

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 White House denies all insider trading allegations. Meanwhile we're watching the on-chain data live. Every wallet. Every trade. Every timestamp. You can deny a journalist. You cannot deny blockchain data. Trump is expected to make a statement today. The whale will trade before he speaks. We'll be here when it happens.

Trump is wise to have extended the ceasefire indefinitely. Bombing Iran isn’t going to extract more concessions. But neither will the U.S. blockade. It’s a game of Chicken in the Strait of Hormuz, and everyone knows who will back down first: Trump, if he has any sense left. That’s *not* because of his history of TACOs but because of the structure of the situation between the U.S. and Iran. Any rational U.S. president would and should back down to reopen Hormuz. If anything,Trump may be *less* willing to fold because he’s so sensitive about his reputation. But staying in an unwinnable fight just to save face isn’t strength — it’s weakness. The structure of the situation favors Iran, not the U.S., because Iran has so much less to lose by keeping Hormuz closed. The U.S. and the rest of the world have everything to lose, because an indefinite Hormuz closure will eventually trigger a global economic meltdown. According to many industry sources, we might already be over the precipice of irreversible economic harm. Forget the midterms — the potential economic consequences swamp that in importance. It could ruin more than Trump’s presidency or legacy — it could ruin the U.S. economy in balance-of-power-shifting ways, given how much more oil intensive U.S. economic output is compared to peers like China. For Iran, a prolonged blockade will sting, but exorbitant oil prices will make it easier to export oil overland, through smuggling and other channels. In 2024, over $1 billion dollars worth of Iranian oil was smuggled over the border to Pakistan. High prices + existential political stakes for Iran will open up all sorts of adaptations for selling Iranian oil to the highest bidder. But even if the U.S. blockade stopped all Iranian oil sales, Iran will not collapse. It is fighting for its sovereignty as a country — and the U.S. war has only strengthened its regime. Iran doesn’t need massive oil revenues to continue resisting and menacing Hormuz. Just look at how the Houthis have outlasted withering U.S. bombing campaigns for years, despite possessing the resource base of Yemen, an impoverished county over which they haven’t even consolidated full control. Iran is used to privation. It is used to economic shocks. It has endured them for years under the force of U.S. sanctions, and its more motivated to resist than ever. So Trump’s blockade is a losing fight. The only question is how long will it take Trump to realize he needs to scale back his maximalist negotiating demands, and how much economic suffering will we all endure until he accepts reality? @defpriorities

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF REFORM SUPPORTERS 1) BILLIONAIRES 2) IDIOTS CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT TO SEE WHICH ONE YOU ARE !

Noticed a real shift lately — posts criticising Keir Starmer are increasingly met with people pushing back, often pointing to his decency and professionalism. That kind of defence just wasn’t as visible before. Something in the tone of the debate seems to be changing.

1/3 The constant intrigue over Starmer-Mandelson is exhausting. We all know what happened & why. Starmer wanted Mandelson in the US because he was widely thought to be someone who could humour Trump & prevent him harming UK interests. Very few protested at the time.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT IRAN NEVER HAD ANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS ALREADY OPEN BEFORE TRUMP STARTED THE EPSTEIN WAR 🤷

In just six weeks. 🙄

I see Chris Mason is continuing his bullshit against the PM. Making a shit appointment for an Ambassador is not a resignation offence. It simply is not. Now fuck off and get on with reporting news not shit stirring.

I need you to understand, that at this point if you believe anything Trump is saying about the war - you are an idiot.

Trump’s lies to reporters about Iran negotiations — including inventing concessions that didn’t exist — damaged the talks, Trump officials privately admitted to CNN.

NEW IRAN VIDEO JUST DROPPED

The idea that the president of the United States is playing chess, much less "5-D chess," is laughable. We've never had more of a checkers player as president. He can barely think one move ahead. He doesn’t plan. He is utterly reactive. What's his mantra? "Let's see what happens."

The Tories have given up saying Keir Starmer lied to Parliament as Olly Robbins confirmed he didn't tell the PM that the vetting service had concerns about Mandelson. The ministerial code wasn't broken. The rest is just Westminster bluff that no one in the real world cares about.

Tory MP Sarah Bool says Boris Johnson resigned quickly when his position became untenable. Yeah, sure. All it took was the resignation of most of his cabinet & dozens of his Ministers and the privileges committee finding him guilty of misleading parliament. #politicslive

❤️🔥‼️Bold and Brave You don’t have to pretend everything is flawless to recognise strong leadership when it shows up. Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer has brought something that’s been missing for a long time in British politics: steadiness under pressure and the willingness to make tough calls, even when they’re unpopular. He’s not leading by chasing headlines — he’s leading by taking responsibility. That takes backbone. Whether it’s restoring credibility to government, focusing on long-term stability @RejoinP @EuropeFife or refusing to play to extremes, there’s a clear sense of direction. That kind of discipline and restraint isn’t flashy, but it’s exactly what serious leadership looks like. No Prime Minister gets every decision right, and fair criticism matters. But boldness isn’t about perfection — it’s about having the courage to act, to stand firm, and to keep moving forward when it would be easier not to. Right now, Britain doesn’t need theatrics. It needs resolve. And whatever disagreements people may have, there’s a growing recognition that Starmer brings that resolve in a way that’s grounded, deliberate, and quietly determined. @UKLabour @10DowningStreet @LaindonFEMINIST @TedUrchin

If the President is so unstable that he has to be "removed" from the Situation Room, then maybe he SHOULDN'T BE THE FUCKING PRESIDENT.

Right so Lee Anderson knows Starmer has lied because people, who are even further removed from the process than he is & don’t hold a single shred of evidence, are telling him that Starmer lied This country will be completely fucked with people like him anywhere near govt

This is what all the fuss is about. First steps to get closer to the EU. Some seriously rich people hate the idea of losing their gravy trains.
