@unusual_whales DOGE was supposed to cut waste. Instead waste got a 13% raise. Even the fraud is doing better than us.

Government waste, fraud and abuse rose 13% last year, per MW

@MarioNawfal Greg didn’t ask to be in that salad. Greg had goals. Greg had a whole life planned. And some farmer almost ate him with ranch dressing.

🇦🇺 An Australian farmer found a live frog inside a sealed bag of lettuce. They named him Greg, before releasing him… Greg will have some stories to tell 😂

@EricLDaugh The homeless problem didn’t fail. It was never supposed to be solved. Poverty is the product. Your tax dollar is the paycheck.

🚨 WOW! LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt exposes homeless executives making $1 million OR MORE off the backs of taxpayers "There's no excuse for anyone to get over $1 million to INCREASE homelessness!" Pratt will END the rampant NGO fraud! 🔥

@zerohedge “Lower-value human capital.” Bro they’re talking about YOU. Not a resource. Not a unit. A person. And they said it with a straight face.

@DeItaone Tariffs, oil shock, deficit spending, and now 5.1% inflation forecast. The Fed is about to have a very bad year.

INFLATION FEARS ARE RISING 📈 Markets are pricing in hotter inflation, with Kalshi forecasting U.S. inflation could reach 5.1% this year. That matches Bank of America’s latest survey, where 40% of fund managers said a second wave of inflation is now the biggest market risk. kalshi.com/markets/kxlcpi…

@unusual_whales “Gen X thought retirement was safe… turns out the economy has other plans.”

50% of Gen X employees are pushing back their retirement dates, citing stagnant wages, rising everyday costs, and a lack of liquid savings, per PwC

@AshCrypto Geopolitics or Wall Street casino? $1B moves while the world holds its breath.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Yesterday, nearly $1 billion worth of crude oil shorts were taken 35 minutes before Trump's announcement to call off strikes on Iran. At 2:25PM ET, nearly 10,830 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken, which is equivalent to $1B+ in notional value. At 3PM ET, President Trump posted on Truth Social that the US has held off its plan to attack Iran. After this, Oil dropped 3% within a few minutes, which means insiders made big profits again.

@TRobinsonNewEra @basedandbougie Dodged the woke script, got dragged back to reality. Brutal truth hits harder than feelings.

The brilliant @basedandbougie sending Piers Morgan and his panelists to run away over Muslim rape gangs. They went down the "muh most rapists white" road. Based dragged them straight back to reality.

@MarioNawfal “Tried to play villain, forgot about the flying hero. Instant karma.”

This guy walked into a store and assaulted the female owner, but he did not account for whoever was nearby. Especially the one with the flying kick.

@zerohedge Wars delayed, markets jittery, tech firms reshuffling, and governments playing poker with real lives… what could possibly go wrong?

Top Overnight News President Trump said he would hold off on a planned U.S. attack on Iran at the request of Gulf leaders to make room for negotiations with Tehran over a prospective deal to end the war. The White House didn’t provide additional details about the planned attack. Several Gulf officials from some of the countries Trump mentioned said they were not aware of the imminent plan to attack Iran he described. WSJ Trump said 'hopefully, maybe forever' regarding the decision to delay the Iran attack, while he added that they will probably be satisfied if they can make a deal where Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. Trump also stated that countries requested to put off the attack on Iran briefly and asked if an attack on Iran could be delayed 2-3 days: Truth Social US officials told the NYT that Iran has taken advantage of the ceasefire to re-expose dozens of bombed ballistic missile sites, move mobile missile launchers, and adjust its tactics in anticipation of a possible resumption of attacks, according to Amichai Stein. Vladimir Putin arrives in Beijing for talks with Xi Jinping as the Iran war offers Russia an opportunity to deepen energy links with China. Putin and Xi are due to meet tomorrow. BBG Soaring borrowing costs could trigger a “correction” in the stock market, highlighting a growing disconnect between exuberant equities and bonds battered by worries over high inflation. FT Financial market turbulence could force the Bank of Japan to go slow on the unwinding of its massive debt holdings, giving anxious bond investors some relief as surging yields lay bare worsening fiscal strains and inflation pressures. RTRS Japan’s economy grew much faster than expected at the start of the year, supporting the case for further Bank of Japan interest-rate hikes, though the outlook remains highly uncertain due to the Middle East conflict. Japan's economy grew 2.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, exceeding economists' forecast for a 1.7% increase.

@narendramodi Lots of handshakes and big plans… hope the promises don’t stay in the photos.

Havde et frugtbart møde med Mette Frederiksen i Oslo. Venskabet mellem Indien og Danmark har gjort bemærkelsesværdige fremskridt i de seneste år. Samarbejdet er blevet udvidet inden for sektorer som vandressourcer, ren energi, skibsfart og fødevareforarbejdning. De kommende år kan byde på et tilsvarende samarbejde inden for fintech, industri, forsvar, innovation og mere. Jeg inviterede også danske pensionsfonde til at øge deres investeringer i Indien. Vi er begge meget overbeviste om, at frihandelsaftalen mellem Indien og EU vil få stor betydning for vores økonomier. @statsmin

@zerohedge Plotting wars in secret and forgetting to tell allies? Classic government efficiency.

@Dexerto 25 years to get here, and suddenly ‘more change’? Sounds like marketing buzz with zero gameplay proof.

Xbox will see “more change” now than in the previous 25 years says 'ID@Xbox' director Guy Richards “We believe there's going to be more change happening in the next couple of years than the 25 years that got us here”

@zerohedge Ah yes, progress so ‘mad’ it fires its own talent. Classic woke circus.

@MarioNawfal Kim shipped $9M of coke. Iconic.

🇬🇧 Cocaine worth $9.4 million found in a shipment of Kim Kardashian's Skims clothing headed for the UK. A truck driver stopped at an Essex port was carrying 28 pallets of Skims underwear from the Netherlands, with 90kg of cocaine stashed in a specially adapted compartment in the back doors. He agreed to move the drugs for €4,500 and walked away with 13 years in prison. The Skims shipment was completely legitimate. Kim K had nothing to do with it. Source: NCA
