Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees. All but three (3!) were white South Africans. Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

37 immigrants were arrested in an aggressive, military-style raid of a Chicago apartment building. Then they seemingly disappeared. Who were these men, women and children taken in the middle of the night, and where did they go? 🎧️ Listen to their stories:

These sailors are being put through this for a war that is unauthorized by Congress and for which funds haven’t been appropriated by Congress, a war that is now utterly pointless and which Trump simply doesn’t have the courage to end. Disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You don’t station thousands of troops in the nation’s capital for several years unless you know you’ll need them. We are too easily getting distracted, and walking away from the giant red flags they are flying - and it’s giving them ground every single day to further consolidate power.
