In 2004, Venezuela handed its elections to opaque , newly created “voting technology.” Jorge Rodríguez was in charge of the system then and now rules alongside his sister. That same technology was locked in while being exported abroad, including into the U.S. via Sequoia. This was not accidental. Manipulating elections while preserving the appearance of democracy is a crime against democracy itself. Investigate it.

If our Founding Fathers heard about CBDCs, kill switches, FISA, and geofences, they would probably overthrow the government all over again. Protect the Fourth Amendment at ALL costs.

Como servicio público les voy a a dejar esta genialidad de @NoMasGuiso que mapeó todas las obras inconclusas del chavismo, muchas de ellas con presupuestos aprobados. Es un mapa del saqueo que consumó el chavismo durante todos estos años. google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…

No American wants to be illegally spied on by their own government. No American wants a kill switch in their car. No American wants their Fourth Amendment infringed upon by the government. Republicans would be wise to lean into this issue. Aren’t we supposed to be the party of constitutional rights and limited government?

This is horrifying Rep Lauren Boebert “They're scanning our faces in public places at protests, even at our children's schools. The government is building secret databases they can go through anytime that they feel like it” “This is an absolute egregious reach on our Fourth Amendment rights. They're creating a digital footprint of your entire life without a single warrant or even probable cause.” “Your morning commute to work, it's tracked dropping off your kids at their soccer practice that's logged, visiting a church or a gun range recorded forever in government, in a government-accessible database.” In response to this, Rep Lauren Boebert and Rep Thomas Massie introduce their new Surveillance Accountability Act (H.R. 8470) This bill will require probable-cause warrants for many forms of government surveillance, including warrantless facial recognition in public spaces This includes protests, schools, places of worship, automated license plate readers and even access to commercial data This bill must pass

My home is paid off. My wife & I allegedly own it FREE & CLEAR. But today we got a bill for property taxes. If we don't pay it, ARMED MEN will come & take it from us & then cage me until I pay them MY MONEY. So do I own it? Am I really free? I already pay 35% income tax + easily another 15% taxes in: -Sales. -Gas & fuel. -Capital gains. -Plethora of other taxes. TAXATION IS THEFT. Property tax shouldn't exist.

Thomas Massie at the Supreme Court this morning: “The White House Chief of Staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto/Bayer. And that is wrong.” This is the same Bayer that spent $9 million lobbying Congress to eliminate liability for Roundup cancer victims. The same Susie Wiles. The same Pam Bondi. Massie has been saying this for months. Nobody in Washington wants to hear it.

The Fourth Amendment isn't optional. If the government wants to read your messages, search your data, or spy on you, they need a warrant. Period. My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act ends warrantless surveillance of Americans.

@NituPerez Como hace falta el Sr de la Etiqueta de por estas calles ..

I thought I hated Palantir before. Turns out I was wrong. I wasn’t hating them enough.

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

Asked if he would consider changing his party affiliation to Democrat, @RepThomasMassie gave a masterclass response: “I vote with Republicans 91% of the time, and the 9% I don't, they’re taking up for pedophiles, starting another war, or bankrupting our country.”

The @DOJ arrested a service member who placed a bet on @Polymarket before Maduro raid meanwhile some in congress are insider trading yet facing no charges. 💡

@FBI @NewYorkFBI @POTUS @realDonaldTrump The glaring inequality here is mind blowing...the most undeniable example of 'rules for thee'. Until the corrupt insider trading in our legislature is addressed the charge against this soldier is just wrong. Pardon him, please.

@FBIDirectorKash @TheJusticeDept He risked his life to win that bet. Members in Congress have risked nothing but taxpayer money.

@FBIDirectorKash @TheJusticeDept From everyone in America, fuck you. Go arrest our corrupt political class who does the same shit everyday. We all see the corruption on polymarket over this war. Until we see arrests for the epstien class, you can leave our soldiers making extra cash the fuck alone.

I've introduced HR 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act, with @RepBoebert. It requires a probable cause warrant before the federal government can search your private data — even if that data is held by a third party. Warrantless searches are unconstitutional.

✅ 1/20/25 Republicans took control of White House + Senate + House. ❌They expanded spending beyond Biden’s budget, causing U.S. debt to increase $2.7 trillion since then. 👎I voted against this excessive spending and that’s why the swamp wants me gone. 👍I keep my promises!

CRÓNICA DE UNA INJUSTICIA | El Coronel (GNB) José de Jesús Gámez Bustamante, de 65 años, fue liberado este #23A, luego de más de una década como #PresoPolítico. Su detención se remonta a 2012 y estuvo marcada por acusaciones sin fundamento por parte de Maduro, ausencia de juicio justo y las graves y ya recurrentes violaciones al debido proceso. Durante su reclusión en la cárcel 26 de Julio (San Juan de Los Morros, #Guárico) sufrió aislamiento, falta de atención médica y un deterioro extremo de salud, que ya no podrá recuperar. Sale en libertad con ceguera total, dos ACV, cardiopatía severa, parálisis parcial, tuberculosis pleural y una pérdida de peso cercana a 40 kg. Organismos de DDHH calificaron su caso como una emergencia humanitaria. Hoy se reencuentra con su familia en condiciones críticas y requiere atención médica inmediata y especializada, para lo cual no tienen acceso ni recursos, como la mayoría en Venezuela. Su historia refleja el impacto de la represión y recuerda que aún quedan cientos de presos políticos civiles y militares en el país, recluidos en condiciones infrahumanas que ponen en riesgo sus vidas. Exigimos reparación integral y garantías de no repetición. #LiberenALosPresosPolíticos #JusticiaYReparación #NuncaMás

Estoy en tierra venezolana para seguir implementando el plan de tres fases de @POTUS y del @SecRubio, y ofrecer resultados para la gente de nuestros países. Es un honor representar a los Estados Unidos en este momento histórico de nuestras relaciones con Venezuela. – JB

America is hearing the truth. The DIGNITY Act is not just an immigration bill. It is a national security bill. It is an economic bill. It is a workforce bill. It is an American values bill. Veterans. Mixed-status families. Manufacturers. Faith leaders. Real voices from across the country are speaking with one message: the system is broken, and the time to fix it is now.
