Everyone is fixating on the corruption of military insiders enriching themselves with the inside information they have. But that's not even close to the nightmare scenario. The real danger is military insiders *manipulating world events* to win Polymarket bets.
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins

This story may “raise insider-trading concerns” broadly, but it likely won’t be cause for concern at Polymarket HQ. As I write in my recent gambling story, insider trading is a feature of these platforms, not a bug. theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Imagine trust in polling being at an all time low and then doing “polls” where a quarter of respondents are AI agents hallucinating answers based on exit polling.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 propublica.org/article/trump-…

Anyone who thought creating the largest internal security force in the country, answering only to the president, was for anything else hasn’t been paying attention.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.

If you're running for Congress now or running for President in 2028, you gotta have Big Plans to fix our Big Problems. This is Problem #1, and it won't be solved by just changing which party is in power. The system needs major reform, and the voters want it too.

We just published my swan song for The Post: Congress nears tipping point of irrelevance. It’s been an amazing 19-plus-year run, especially last decade of this @PKCapitol column. The Post has been family, giving me this perch to cover Congress. So lucky … washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

This is what I mean about the cross-ideological possibilities for a coalition against runaway gambling. From AOC to Paul Tonko to Spencer Cox to Ron Johnson—the growing outrage really is bipartisan.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

"If I had my way, Americans would get rid of primaries altogether. I think having nominating conventions within the parties themselves was a far better way to pick candidates than state-administered elections." -@ChrisStirewalt, nxslink.thehill.com/view/63bc408d0…

Obama opposed the Iraq War when most Dem leaders were for it, which earned him enormous progressive cred in his 2008 campaign even while he was pretty modded out on other issues. The 2028 parallel would be a non-leftist who breaks left on Israel. slowboring.com/p/the-obama-of…

1. The concern about the online gambling industry appears genuinely cross-ideological. I’ve heard from GOP and Dem politicians, right-wing social conservatives and left-wing crusaders against corporate predation. The opportunity for bipartisan legislation seems real.

This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.  This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.  When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
