Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes. $1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity. One hour before the announcement. Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time. They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades. Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium. The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened. This is not the first time. It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves. But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it. Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind. These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world. I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here. This isn't politics anymore. This is a financial operation running out of the White House.

@JudithM52103345 @csordoni @FairplayDesigns @MarkJCarney @liberal_party @GovCanHealth @PHAC_GC Federal govt recovers health care funds transfer to provinces by ‘clawbacks’. If provinces allow clinics or docs to bill for services deemed nec under CHA that is tallied and recovered. In BC this led to banning all private surgicentrrs MRzis etc who charged for MSP services.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that trump's speech last night was a huge waste of time, and one of the most disgraceful of any President in history. Low energy lies, and threats of war crimes.

Pam Bondi knows where the bodies are buried. She's seen the evidence on Donald Trump. If she was smart, she'd release the unredacted Epstein files and save her own ass.

Trump is firing Bondi over the Epstein files, imo. He wants her to lie under oath to Congress. He wants a total coverup, but she failed bc it’s impossible to hide everything. He wants her to do things that will land her in prison. He won’t pardon her bc she would lose her right to take the 5th and have to testify in the future.

Trust me, I am no fan of Noem, Gabbard or Bondi, but I do find it notable that of the cabinet members Trump has fired or is reportedly considering firing, all three are women. How about Hegseth? Kennedy Jr. can't even find a CDC Director to match with his craziness. Patel is a laughing stock, and so on. Why aren't they being fired?

BBC: Do you think Putin is ready to make a deal? ZELENSKYY: No, he’s not ready to sign any agreement. He wants Ukraine to sign an ultimatum full of future risks. He understands that leaving Donbas would mean dividing our society. A divided country is a weak country, and it would be easier for Putin to continue with further occupation.

As of yesterday, Ontario is out of compliance with the Canada Health Act because Doug Ford's government missed the federal deadline to fund nurse practitioners. Now Ontarians are being forced to pay out of pocket for primary care. 2.5 million people don't have a family doctor, and this Minister has no plan to fix it.

BREAKING: The tectonic plates are shifting dramatically in Ontario politics on the heels of eight long years of tired, unethical and ineffective government from @fordnation's Conservatives. A new @LiaisonCanada poll out today finds: PCPO: 39% (-4) OLP: 36% (+6) ONDP: 18% (-1) GPO: 5% (-) Others: 3% Seats wise, this translates to: PC: 54 seats (-26) LIB: 51 seats (+37) NDP: 16 seats (-11) GRN: 2 seats (-) OTH: 1 seat (-) RESULT: PC minority OR Liberal coalition gov't. Hold on to your hats: the next 2-3 years are going to be fascinating to watch in Ontario politics! #onpoli #cdnpoli

🚨HOLY SMOKES: New York Times: Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent days. No final decision made. MS NOW has not independently confirmed. But if true — the timing is everything. Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify under oath before the House Oversight Committee on April 14th about the Epstein investigation. The same Epstein files where the DOJ admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.”

the 25th Amendment was written for precisely this situation. Trump cannot think clearly. he cannot function effectively as president. unfortunately Republican Party leaders are weak, low-character people unwilling to even try acting honorably

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran says any European, Asian, or Arab country is welcome to reach out for an agreement to transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

And for what? So he can still be the same useless idiot he was a year ago that Canadians rejected? He gained a lot of ground when Trudeau was PM, but lost even more ground with Carney as PM. Time for him to go. There’s no coming back now. He’s old news.

BREAKING: DEMOCRATS WIN! Mike Johnson CAVES and agrees to end DHS shutdown with no new ICE funding in humiliating defeat for Trump and the entire Republican Party! After weeks of painful airport lines and unpaid TSA workers, House and Senate Republicans just caved and agreed to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, which is sure to anger the Godfather of tweets. So Democrats get a short-term win by ending the shutdown and forcing Republicans to negotiate, but they did not lock in permanent restrictions on ICE. The bigger battle over accountability will come later this year. Democrats had refused to give Trump and Republicans a blank check for ICE without basic protections like requiring agents to wear body cameras and remove masks during raids. Instead of compromising, Trump threw a fit on Truth Social and demanded total surrender. Now Republicans are rushing to reopen DHS so TSA agents can get paid and airports can function again. They’ll try to fund ICE separately later without needing Democratic votes. This is a clear win for Democrats. They finally showed a spine and stood strong against Trump’s minions, protected basic accountability, and forced Republicans to end the unnecessary shutdown they created. If you’re happy Democrats finally held the line and finally got TSA workers paid, like and share to celebrate: Standing up works!

Hey @AGPamBondi still time to release the full Epstein files. If he’s going to throw you under the bus, he isn’t going to protect you. So you may as well follow the law so that you’re not in trouble with the next administration.

THIS IS HILARIOUS 🤣 🇮🇷 Iran at 3 PM — “We will turn Israel into a shithole country” 🇮🇱 Israel at 9 PM — Iranian missiles destroyed their sewage system, turning it into literal ‘Shithole’ 😭 Iran is literally toying with them now 😂

“The American people can’t stand the sight of you.” James Carville predicts Trump will resign the presidency within the next year.

This is what we call a major misstep in politics. Poilievre will never recover. Conservatives are why we can’t have nice things. Any forward momentum that benefits constituents is met with defiance by the CPC.

Wall Street is finally waking up to the fact that Trump is INSANE. So disturbing and delusional was the pedophile psychopath's presidential address, stock market futures are plummeting. America and the world are on fire and the lunatic in the White House is the arsonist.

There are no circumstances where the @SecWar's personal stockbroker should be buying or selling *any* defense-related stocks — but particularly moments before the U.S. sends its service members to fight and die in war. We cannot allow this type of corruption to become normal, no matter how much President Trump and his Administration flood the zone with new ways to personally enrich themselves and their friends. reuters.com/business/finan…
