You destroyed spirit airlines
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…

@gothburz Time for the Building Of The Guillotines In America, me thinks…
English

I placed $1.5 billion in futures at 6:50 AM.
Fourteen minutes before President Trump's Truth Social post. That's generous. Usually, I get five.
The S&P was barely breathing. Premarket Monday. The kind of quiet where a single order echoes through the entire book. I bought $1.5 billion in futures. The index moved 0.3% on my entry alone.
That's how thin the market was.
That's how empty the room was.
At the same time, I shorted $192 million in crude oil.
Then I sat there. Three screens. One coffee. The futures blinking green on the left, the oil contract bleeding red on the right, and in the center, a Truth Social feed set to refresh every four seconds. Fourteen minutes is a long time when you know what's coming.
Not because I was nervous.
Because I was early.
At 7:04 AM, the president posted. Productive discussions. Five-day halt on strikes. Peace talks with Iran.
S&P jumped 2.5%. Oil cratered 6%. My position gained $60 million before most Americans' alarm clocks went off.
Good morning.
Iran later denied that the talks ever happened. Called it fake news. The speaker of their parliament accused the president of manipulating financial markets.
The talks might not be real.
The sixty million dollars is.
The analytics accounts flagged it within the hour. "Unusual activity." "Orders 4-6x larger than anything else trading at the time."
That's their word for it. Unusual.
My word for it is Tuesday.
They always flag it. That's their function. Flagging is not investigating. Flagging is the system's way of noting that it saw something, documenting that it will do nothing, and calling that process oversight.
The actual investigation is conducted by the CFTC. The CFTC has one commissioner. Out of five seats. One.
The other four chairs are empty. Not vacant. Emptied. There is a difference. Vacant means nobody applied. Emptied means somebody decided the body responsible for policing futures markets should not have enough members to hold a vote.
That's not negligence. That's architecture.
You know what we call this pattern on the desk? TACO. Trump Always Chickens Out. Escalate on Friday, capitulate on Monday, and extract in the window between the decision and the post.
It's so reliable, we named it. We have a private Slack channel. #taco-tuesday. It updates automatically when Truth Social pushes a new geopolitical keyword.
We don't teach it as insider trading. We teach it as a market structure. New analysts learn it in their first week. By the second week, they stop flinching.
The phone rang at 6:47 AM. Three minutes before I entered the position. The call lasted ninety seconds.
Ninety seconds of context. $60 million of outcome.
You call that insider trading. I understand why. Insider trading is the word you learned. It's the crime from the movies. The whispered merger at a cocktail party. Four hundred shares of a mid-cap pharmaceutical. That gets prosecuted.
That's the version of this crime the system was built to catch.
What I do is different.
I place $1.5 billion against a war decision made in a room I have the phone number to. On a platform overseen by a commission with one member. In a market where the president's social media account is the most powerful price-setting mechanism on earth.
That's not insider trading.
That's infrastructure.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your brother-in-law. I made $60 million trading on a war. The difference is not the crime. The difference is the decimal point.
Americans paid for this war with four-dollar gas and sixteen billion in taxes. I paid for a phone call. We are not in the same economy.
Last month, $529 million was wagered on Polymarket's Iran strikes market. Six accounts pocketed $1.2 million. Deposited funds the same day. Hours before the bombs fell. One account cleared $553,000 at 17% odds, seventy-one minutes before public confirmation. He has not placed another bet since.
The president's son sits on Polymarket's advisory board. Two federal investigations into the platform were quietly dropped this year. Twelve government officials sold stocks in the weeks before the tariff crash. All of them reported the sales after the deadline.
Nobody calls any of that insider trading. They call it prediction markets. Delayed disclosures. Portfolio rebalancing. I call it the junior varsity version of what I do with futures.
An Oxford law professor called it the most far-reaching securities fraud in history. We call it the window.
Tomorrow, this will be gone. Buried under a new tariff. A new ultimatum. A new TACO. Next Monday at 6:50 AM, I will be here again. Coffee. Three screens. The phone. The ninety-second call. The fourteen-minute window.
The game isn't rigged.
Rigged implies something broke. Nothing broke. Every component is functioning exactly as specified. The one-member commission. The anonymous platforms. The four-second refresh on the Truth Social feed. The phone that rings at 6:47.
I didn't exploit a flaw in the system.
I am the system.

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

@elonmusk Ironic, considering you worked so hard and spent so many millions to elect the leader of the child predator ring in the world.

This is how OUT OF CONTROL California is.

But they are REGISTERED VOTERS!
A half a million of them.

I am a J6er.
I am an American.
I have inalienable rights given to me by God.
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of the Press
Freedom to Assemble
Freedom to Petition
Freedom to Redress Grievances
I have the Constitutional right to assemble, to picket and redress my grievances.
I'll stand strong in the face of the Marxist Communist onslaught against the Constitution. I will take action and Love America while fighting for American freedoms and election integrity.
I yelled at the top of my lungs "Stop the Steal!" and wore the political statement "Count ALL Legal Votes." On a t-shirt that was a free gift for donating to the Trump campaign.
THAT was my crime. No violence, damage, vandalism. And the sentence made that sever because I would not be silent nor bend the knee and swear fealty to the biden regime. I was not remorseful enough, so I became one of the first Americans in history to be sentenced to prison for picketing.
God Bless the J6ers!

@GeraldoRivera Where is the proof? You (and the war criminal Trump) have no proof, just empty words, as usual.
