The $580 million short oil bet was the smaller of the two insider trades. The larger one, placed at the exact same time (6:49-6:50am), was between $1.4-$1.9 billion to go long S&P 500 e-Mini futures. Over $2 billion in Trump traitor trades, all wildly profitable 15 minutes later after Trump's post.

are there any more things like this

yea i've got imposter syndrome. im poster

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

what the actual fuck

ICE doesn’t belong at our airports. Our Office of Immigrant Affairs has updated guidance and you can call their legal hotline at 800-354-0365.

This review (& 📕) claims SIO censored 22 million tweets & Virality Project demanded the mass censorship of “true stories of vaccine side effects”. These claims come from Mike Benz & Matt Taibbi & have been debunked ad nauseum over the last 3 years. I requested a correction. Let’s see what happens.

oh so TSA agents are being pieces of shit FOR FREE

Dad mode isn’t so fucking funny now is it

I know a lot of people are cheering this on because Meta sucks, but it's a really problematic result and if it holds will be terrible for the open internet. This case easily should have been tossed on 230 grounds. That it wasn't means Section 230 is that much weaker today.

one thing that frustrates me quite a bit about modern opinion-writing is that hardly anyone tries to argue with a particular person or a specific argument. it's all gesturing towards people saying something. take this piece for example. setting aside the merits of the argument, who is the target?

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

Looks like it was a narco trafficking compound in exactly the same way Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist.

👀 Reuters/Ipsos poll: Trump’s approval rating on the economy has sunk to 29%. Lower than Biden’s lowest rating. Far lower than Trump’s first-term lowest.

In addition to being evil, this is a crime in many states www.404media.co/this-company...

How can you not be romantic about broadcasting

Damn, this series of really brutal polls on the economy

oh dear

i love that “go woke go broke” is gospel to these people, and not only is it entirely incorrect, its the opposite! papers and legacy media that are capitulating to trumps regime are crumbling and being destroyed

We've got an updated protocol roadmap out, covering the next few months. Look forward to seeing folks at AtmosphereConf later this week!

Just a reminder that this account just makes things up and presents them as news. It's lib fan fiction. Nothing from the Halfway Post is real. They pretend it's satire, but what is this even satirizing? What's the commentary? What's the joke?

everything is so stupid

you wouldnt believe this big wooden horse, oh it’s so beautiful you wouldnt believe and theyre saying “mr trump youll never get that horse in.” look at em back there. the fake news. but we’re gonna bring in that horse folks and we’ll say “thank you, bye bye” but they don’t think we can get it in

"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

This framing is appalling and, importantly, just fucking wrong - "just $1" is $1 too much, because the charges are illegitimate - it is not illegal in Georgia to induce one's own abortion, so I don't know what "illegal abortion" the AP (or the prosecutors) are talking about here

Fuck yeah.

I’m EFF’s next Executive Director! So proud to take the torch from Cindy Cohn and lead @eff.org forward in its next chapter. Here’s the link to the EFF announcement – www.eff.org/press/releas... Together, we can meet the challenges and keep building a future where technology works for the people.

This is great news and a great choice. Really excited to welcome Nicky aboard.

Judge: "So why did Secretary Hegseth say this if it doesn't have any legal effect or he doesn't intend to act on it?" Defense counsel [gentle laugh]: "Uh I don't know."

Ah peak stupidity. A bunch of grifters who were moderated on social media sued the Biden admin claiming "censorship." Bounced around stupid courts w/SCOTUS finally saying "um, no evidence of gov't censorship." Some of the plaintiffs now work in the admin. Either way the lawsuit has now "settled."

BREAKING: I'm suing the federal government for access to evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis. It's astonishing this lawsuit is even necessary, but in Minnesota, nobody is above the law.

You’re a gift @kateruane.bsky.social www.techdirt.com/2026/03/23/w...

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other: 1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting. 2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote. 3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

People need to understand that if a drug company is getting heat because their drugs are so expensive people are either dying or going bankrupt, and that feels very bad and morally corrupt, there's one Professor you can always call to make the case these are signs of a healthy industry.

Lol. A decade and a half ago I used to fight with Mossoff over his incredibly stupid takes on copyright law. Haven't thought about him in a while but nice to see I haven't missed anything by ignoring his output .

John Lewis photobombs ICE from the grave.

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

Yep. See also: Antonin Scalia refusing to read WaPo or NYT because he preferred to cook his brain on rightwing talk radio

This is what a vampire looking at a classroom would say.

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

oh shit oh fuck I don't have nearly enough Robux to bribe these ICE agents.

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

Keep an eye out for the Cava bags those money smugglers use

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

How it’s all going at LaGuardia this morning: insane lines for unpaid & short-staffed TSA while 20+ ICE agents just hang out and chat.

What’s wrong, Sir? Cava bag caught your tongue?

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

NEW: WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit. @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social reports:
