Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Draw Notice

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!! “How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?” www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...

No, the President Cannot Issue Bills of Attainder

Trump orders functioning as bills of attainder are prohibited by the Constitution and repugnant to its separation of powers.

DOGE is a virus that’s actively and maliciously spreading through the Federal Government. It’s a weapon to allow Elon Musk to take over the basic mechanisms of government and bring them under his power. A constitutional crisis is unfolding now. Here’s what’s happening & how you can fight back. 🧵
