Billions of dollars of fraud already uncovered and we're just getting started. More to come.

SCOTUS: Courts are not allowed to intervene and change a map if it's too close to an election unless it benefits Republicans then it's okay democracydocket.com/news-alerts/sc…

@jonatanpallesen @mattyglesias I think if you have a political party that’s obviously trying to cement permanent minority rule for themselves then you have to respond - you can’t actually always cooperate in an iterated prisoners dilemma


BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war. At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news. This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET. At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is "close" to a "memorandum of understanding" to end the Iran War. By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million. Minutes later, Iran launched the "Persian Gulf Strait Authority" and oil prices surged +8%. What just happened?

Bombshell: Leaked audio recordings prove Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei is conspiring with the drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández -- the drug-trafficking former dictator of Honduras, whom Trump freed from prison. In a recording between Milei and the drug lord, Hernández proposed creating a right-wing fake news operation, with the support of the US government, in order to spread propaganda online to "eliminate the left" in Latin America, targeting Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and the left-wing opposition in Honduras. The self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" Milei offered to contribute $350,000 USD of Argentine government money to help fund this disinformation operation, while millions of Argentines are suffering in poverty, and they have to eat donkey meat, because they can't afford local beef.

Roberts, Alito, and other conservative justices fully understand the potential consequences. They just don’t care. trib.al/mMZ5mGa


The Democrats will no doubt want to pack the Supreme Court, but they will run into some problems and major risks. In order to do so they would have to abolish the filibuster. And while that may seem like a slam dunk for them, it would almost certainly backfire on them in the future. More states are red than blue and the Republicans are likely to control the Senate more often moving forward than the Democrats will. Therefore, the filibuster disproportionally helps the Democrats. And the only thing stopping the Save America Act from being passed is the filibuster. So, if the Democrats abolish the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, not only will the Republicans simply add more justices once they take power, but they will also pass the Save America Act. As well as a bunch of other legislation in the future, since they are likely to control the Senate more often. The more likely scenario is the Democrats are going to have to pull back on the racial division and start moderating their positions if they have any hope of political survival. Wokeness is dying.

Fox News has now covered Hasan Piker for 25 days straight. More than any politician in the Democratic Party.

LANDMARK DECISION — The Supreme Court has narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act with their decision in Louisiana v. Callais, opening the door to sweeping redistricting changes across the South that could erase up to 10 majority-Black seats and flip them from blue to red.

WH Press Secretary Leavitt: The left-wing cult of hatred against the president and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it almost did so again this weekend.

Pray for our country. There is such evil in this world.

Trump does a lot of things I hate. But you know what he doesn't do? Promote political violence against his enemies. The same can't be said about the worst wackadoodles on the Far extremes right now.

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

If I vote Republican I increase the chance of shameful corruption happening in the White House, but decrease my chance of being robbed in my own neighborhood. Such a choice reveals one's beliefs about what it means to be "anti-crime".

During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up. While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty. The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered.
