I knew it would be this bad.🤬 Buckle up buttercup. Ignore the noise and follow the $$🤑
"The company that owned a private prison in Appleton offered to sell it to MN for $75m Year later, Trump agreed to use taxpayer $ to buy it from CoreCivic for $495.6m The price difference, $420m, is more than was lost in much-publicized Feeding Our Future scandal" www.kare11.com/article/news...
Not just polymarket. $3.5 Billion in crypto has been drained through a compromise of Binance.
Polymarket has been pwned. A million customers have had their crypto drained.
Just got a message from a witness in DC that a large plane flew extremely close to the ground a few minutes ago and scared the shit out of people. “Flashbacks to 9/11,” they said. AFP White House reporter Danny Kemp confirms it was a stunt for the WH halloween party and posted this video on X:
🚨🚨 Maybe we should be paying attention to this instead of Trump's speeches about men's asses. THAT IS THE DISTRACTION. WAKE UP.
On the left: Wednesday: Federal judge says DOJ threats of criminal prosecution against California election officials "must stop." On the right: Thursday (breaking news): DOJ "leadership directed top federal prosecutors in California to pursue criminal subpoenas of state and local officials."
‘Hedge funds have switched from hedging their long AI exposure principally via shorting single stocks to shorting the index. This is boosting stock correlation, leading to a greater risk of a disorderly move higher in the VIX and an abrupt decline in prices.’ blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories...
I watched this 38 times so far. bsky.app/profile/fact...
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
NVIDIA's CEO was targeted by Chinese intelligence? AND the White House knew but didn't do anything?!? BECAUSE the US president worried about jeopardizing chip sales to China?!?!?! NO, REALLY Trump's concern was China's AI development might be hindered, so Chinese intel ops shouldn't be countered.
Nvidia Chief, Jensen Huang, Is Seen as Target of Chinese Spy Plot (Gift Article)
A Chinese businesswoman who had a close relationship with Jensen Huang was found to be passing intelligence to Beijing. President Trump was briefed and took no action.

Putin the great humanitarian, as the American government calls him, taking advantage of Trump and Hegseth refusing to allow the transfer of Patriot interceptors which have already been purchased by European countries for Ukraine.
Q: Trump said 'Kevin is great. But Kevin's one vote out of a board with numerous people that were put on it by Obama & Biden, so you have a board that would like to see the country do badly.' Do you agree w/ those comments? KEVIN WARSH: I'm not going to be responding to quotes from public officials
Crocodile Dumdee thinks animals are kangarooing onto solar panels now.
Trump on solar panels: "They kill all the animals. The animals jump on them and they fry."

It's LAUGHABLE the Fed would actually write that 2% is even a goal at this point. 🤕
The Fed holds steady. The decision is 10-2. Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack voted for an increase. "The accumulation of more information will help the committee determine the policy stance appropriate to ensure a timely return of inflation to the committee’s 2% goal."
🚨 "More than 500 donors contributed $1 million or more to super PACs in 2026, amounting to $4.2 billion, more than 70 percent of the money raised." Sounds bad! Mike Tanglis for @publiccitizen.bsky.social

The ChatGpt commercial with granny in her garden asking her personal assistant to cancel a magazine subscription and then pointing her phone at her plants to ask why they are dying is definitely worth the $2t investment for society improvement.

‘The surge in construction of fossil-fueled power plants to run AI data centers is set to undo 15 years’ worth of greenhouse gas reductions from US electricity generation, according to analysis by the Sierra Club. “The numbers continue to sort of boggle our minds.”’ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
The five AI hyperscalers have almost $3 trillion in commitments that don’t show up on their balance sheets. Whether these massive bets pay off is an open question.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s." Incredible reporting here from @awinston.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/ice-is...
ICE Is Running One of the Largest Anti-Left Surveillance Operations in US History
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements.

Out tomorrow morning! Jon and I walk through the whole AI bubble - GPUs in warehouses, Anthropic’s dodgy S-1 and IPO and more.
“For the love of god, get out there and vote.” Jon has a message for 2026 voters, plus an all-new podcast on AI’s looming threat to our financial institutions with Ed Zitron. Drops tomorrow!
He could not care less about the struggles of Americans. Keep talking, Donald. Soon you’ll find out what the majority thinks of your sociopathic indifference.
Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."
This DOJ is proving itself to be led by a bunch of political hacks - and thank goodness not all that competent ones (see eg the failed Information against Comey).
BREAKING WaPo: A federal grand jury just REJECTED an attempt by the Trump Justice Department to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
