Someone may have made tens of millions betting oil would fall right before Trump announced progress with Iran. If that trade was based on advance knowledge, this is not just a market story.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

America’s global power was built on confidence in U.S. rule of law, not just military might. That confidence has collapsed internationally, and the entire foundation of American prosperity has become fragile.
Why does this video seem insane? Because it is. Vance takes a felony case, flattens it into “misdemeanor trespassing,” calls Peters an “innocent grandmother,” credits Trump for a commutation issued by a Democratic governor, then uses that rewritten story to justify possible compensation.
Democracies usually die when mainstream actors fail their gatekeeping function. To every editor, judge, university president, law firm partner, and elected official reading this: your job description just got more important. To everyone else: your job is to make sure they do.
The MoCA is a screening tool for cognitive decline, not an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps bragging about “acing” it as proof of brilliance should itself be disqualifying. Authoritarianism thrives on confusing basic competence with exceptional greatness.
The Justice Department doesn't work for Donald Trump. Yesterday, it is again acting like it does by opening a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who won two civil judgments against him for sexual abuse and defamation.
35 retired federal judges are asking the court to reopen Trump’s dismissed $10 billion IRS lawsuit, stating “...this ‘case’ that the parties purport to have ‘settled’ is itself a fraud on the Court.” zurl.co/nNm4I
Trump talks about intelligence operations like a guy spoiling a movie he didn’t understand. Reckless.
The U.S. “war on narco-terrorism” has normalized extrajudicial violence and weakened both international law abroad and constitutional restraints at home. zurl.co/iF4FX
A judge dismissed all charges against the Broadview Six after learning prosecutors communicated with grand jurors outside the jury room, excused dissenting jurors, and redacted misconduct from transcripts. The judge said her trust in the DOJ was broken. Think about how extraordinary that is.
Trump did not choose a random prayer verse. He chose a covenant passage about God choosing a sacred house, healing the land if “my people” repent, and punishing those who “serve other gods.” The Constitution protects religion by keeping the state from turning faith into a test of national loyalty

Democratic Senators are moving in the right direction with drawing a line at DHS funding — but they need to understand how to negotiate with extremists. Starting position should be: DON’T FUND ANYTHING until demands for accountability at ICE, BP, and DHS are met. #alexpretti #shutdown #minneapolis
This is where most people get it wrong. They stay busy, but nothing really moves. The problem isn’t the effort, it’s the direction. There’s a simple way to cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives results. #HedgehogPrinciple #InnovativeSmile #OrangeCarrotMedia
