2026's elections could test how skyrocketing trading on prediction markets affects races and results
Officials' fears revolve around the fear that pervasive financial incentives will further damage confidence in elections and democracy if Americans think they're influencing the outcome.

This is far from the first time Trump was caught money laundering. In 2015, his casinos were fined $10 million for over a hundred instances of money laundering going back to at least 2003, many involving Russian oligarchs.

WASHINGTON, DC – The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today imposed a $10 million civil money penalty against Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (Trump Taj Mahal), for willful and repeated violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).

1. This is big. It was clear before that SPLC was collecting intelligence on the “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 because of the threat of violence. Now, a new filing from SPLC cites an “Event Alert” the group provided directly to the FBI. This alert undermines the DOJ’s corrupt case.

Where exactly does Homan think Diaper Don gets power to compel anything from Congress? Art 2, Sec 3 "he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them..." The best he can do is call them back from recess. He can't compel more than that! They want a dictator so bad, smh!!
