Midterm elections are expensive, time-consuming, and often politically disruptive. Many other major democracies do not hold separate midterm elections, making their necessity questionable. They impose a significant financial burden on taxpayers, divert administrative resources, and create uncertainty in policymaking. Frequent electoral battles can also encourage short-term populist decisions over long-term development. Democracy should ensure accountability, but it must also promote political stability, policy continuity, and the efficient use of public money.

Still nothing about &quot;President&quot; Abbas and the lack of his elections from the other major &quot;liberal minded&quot; and &quot;democracy supporting&quot; media outlets either. Hard not to think that they too are trying to hide that &quot;uncomfortable&quot; fact for them by talking as much negatives about President Trump, about PM Netanyahu and about their elections as they possibly can..

Please mobilize to vote! In Brazil, we defeated Trump&#39;s lackey with intense mobilization in the streets and online. Trump is lying, saying our election was rigged, exactly as he always does when he loses. Yet Trump seems on the fence about fully supporting Bolsonaro (who fled to your country and has proclaimed himself the winner) — maybe because of the midterms.<br><br>We stood up for democracy against the far right here in Brazil, but our struggles don&#39;t end at national borders. What happens in your country affects the world. Our democracies are stronger when we stand up for them together!

Politics is not a commercial enterprise driven by profit margins and shareholder returns, but a sacred public trust bestowed by the citizens who hold the ultimate sovereignty. When individuals step into public office, they are not entering a marketplace of power, but accepting an appointment as stewards of the community&#39;s collective future, accountable not to balance sheets or private interests, but to the everyday people whose voices and votes granted them authority. True governance is rooted in service, ethical responsibility, and the moral duty to protect the public good, reminding every leader that their power is only ever borrowed, and the citizens are the ultimate employers.

So there you have it, at 6.40. The president can veto whatever laws congress decides to bring in. A de-facto dictatorship - not, in fact, a democracy at all. Tr*mp will be in the oval office until someone drags him out at gun point. 3rd term? yep.

Republicans Enter Final Week Standing on Deck, Whistling Past the Graveyard!<br><br>BREAKING: GOP bravely faces final week of midterms with just 33% approval or possibly lower by now, $1B war chest, and a Musk donation the size of a small nation&#39;s GDP. Prediction markets give Dems ~90% odds on the House. The President is campaigning in ALASKA — a seat his party should confidently win unconscious. An op-ed titled &quot;The polls are lying&quot; predicts a GOP sweep. The band of clowns plays on and on while the ship — their House majority — goes down…

IMAGINE MATERIAL PURSUIT BEING YOUR CORE ESSENCE,SHAKE MY HEAD
<br>
<br>Stock &amp; Securities Activity: Financial filings reveal tens of thousands of trades executed across presidential accounts, totaling hundreds of millions to over $1.5 billion in value. This includes over 21,000 securities trades reported for 2025 and thousands more in early 2026.
<br>
<br>Market-Moving Announcements: Critics and lawmakers—including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Robert Garcia—have highlighted instances where major financial spikes or drops preceded executive policy statements. Examples include oil price drops prior to Iran-related posts and S&amp;P 500 surges ahead of tariff announcements.
<br>
<br>Truth API: Trump Media &amp; Technology Group launched a &quot;Truth API&quot; subscription service providing high-frequency, low-latency machine-readable feeds of Truth Social posts to financial firms for $60,000 to $100,000 per month, sparking ethical and legal debates over monetizing non-public executive communications.
<br>
<br>Prediction Markets: Federal and regulatory probes have examined suspicious trades and wagers on prediction platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. Notably, former Trump teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez faced a civil CFTC investigation and frozen profits over prediction market trades.
<br>
<br>23 Sept 2026 — President made more than 440 purchases and 700 sales despite voter anger over elected officials trading stocks.
<br>
<br>
<br>The Massive Pre-Tariff Pause Buy: On 8 April 2025—the day before the historic 90-day &quot;Liberation Day&quot; tariff pause was announced—the president’s personal disclosure shows he purchased 327 individual stocks valued at roughly $12.8 million. The list included dominant tech giants like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft, all of which experienced sharp price increases the moment the tariff pause went public.
<br>
<br>20 Apr 2026 — The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.
<br>The Pattern: Moments before Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause in April 2025, S&amp;P 500 tracker funds saw a surge to 10,000 contracts per minute. Similar multi-million dollar spikes occurred in the crude oil futures market minutes before public statements regarding the U.S. conflict with Iran.
<br>Regulatory Pushback: Career analysts at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) attempted to open an insider trading probe into the oil spikes. However, reports revealed that a senior political adviser to the Trump-appointed CFTC chairman blocked the referral.
<br>
<br>Financial disclosures revealed that Donald Trump’s brokerage accounts executed over 28,000 security transactions since he returned to office.
<br>During the first quarter of 2026 alone, the account conducted 3,642 trades, averaging nearly 60 trades per day.
<br>
<br>The automated trading heavily targets major government contractors and tech companies (such as Nvidia, Intel, Palantir, and private prison operators GEO Group and CoreCivic) that benefit directly from executive policies. For instance, Trump’s account bought Nvidia stock shortly before the administration approved advanced chip exports to China, and purchased Axon stock just days before ICE announced a massive security equipment contract.
<br>
<br>The Robinhood &amp; BNY Mellon Treasury Windfall: On 6 April 2026, Trump&#39;s account bought tens of thousands of dollars in shares of Robinhood and the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY). Later that exact same day, the U.S. Treasury Department publicly announced that BNY and Robinhood had been selected as the official financial agents to administer a massive new federal accounts program, causing immediate spikes in both stock prices.
<br>
<br>The Palantir Endorsement: Public watchdogs noted that Trump &quot;scooped up shares&quot; in data-intelligence firm Palantir Technologies. Shortly thereafter, while the company was in the middle of securing lucrative federal defense contracts, Trump took to social media to specifically highlight its ticker name (PLTR), posting: &quot;Palantir Technologies has proven to have great war fighting capabilities... Just ask our enemies!!!&quot;
<br>
<br>
<br>Polymarket and the Anomalous Geopolitical Bets
<br>Regulators have closely monitored prediction market platforms due to single-purpose, newly registered accounts making massive, highly leveraged wagers on secretive military and intelligence actions just before they occurred.
<br>The &quot;Burdensome-Mix&quot; Account (Venezuela): Between 30 December 2025 and 2 January 2026, a fresh Polymarket account under the username &quot;Burdensome-Mix&quot; bet $32,537 that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would be out of office by the end of January. On 3 January 2026, U.S. forces executed a highly classified capture operation of Maduro. The account instantly won $436,000 and immediately went dark, never placing another bet.
<br>The Iran Air Strike Volatility: In February 2026, minutes before official confirmation of U.S. air strikes inside Iran, a cluster of anonymous accounts aggressively bid up the odds of immediate military intervention on Polymarket. Parallel to this, the Financial Times tracked an unknown trader who moved over $500 million in the traditional oil futures market roughly 15 minutes before the White House announced a pause on attacking Iranian power plants, turning an immediate multi-million dollar profit as Brent crude plummeted 14%.
<br>
<br>• The WLF Token / SEC Hold: Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun was facing criminal fraud charges brought by the SEC. In 2025, after Sun reportedly purchased $75 million in crypto tokens issued by World Liberty Financial (WLF)—a crypto project directly tied to and enriching the Trump family—the SEC&#39;s enforcement action against him was abruptly put on hold.
<br>• The $5 Million Production Waiver: Pilgrim’s Pride, a massive poultry processing corporation, provided a $5 million donation to Trump&#39;s political inaugural fund. Shortly after the capital transfer, the U.S. Department of Agriculture granted the company a highly sought-after &quot;production speed waiver&quot; to accelerate factory throughput, while the SEC simultaneously fast-tracked approvals for its new public listing.

🔹 On one hand, the high cost of diesel and chemical fertilizers has driven up food prices; on the other, a decline in household purchasing power has led to lower sales and losses for food and consumer goods companies—including Coca-Cola, Procter &amp; Gamble, Nestlé, and Reckitt. ​​To offset this, these companies have warned of imminent price hikes in the coming year.

The dilemma comes with labeling Trump and his MAGA cronies as belonging to any party at all. The Republicans royally screwed up by putting him on the ballot for a second term after all the BS from his first term and everything that happened in between terms. Trump made a LOT of promises and the only one he truly got right was securing the border. Even deporting illegals has been a complete sh*t show afterward. Trump is only concerned with how much money him and his family can make from him being in office and MAGA is what shields him from what gets in his way. I&#39;m a 56 year old military veteran, small business owner, that lives in Texas. Myself, and countless others are breaking ranks hoping that the newly elected people in Congress will actually do their job and put the brakes on this derailed train. REGARDLESS OF WHAT PARTY THEY BELONG TO!!!! There are a lot of us that still choose to stand up for The Constitution and Democracy over being loyal to a party and their policies. Nothing would make me happier than seeing people like Trump, Hegseth, Blanche, and Patel all get investigated and impeached, incarcerated would be a really nice bonus. Trump being charged with treason is on my wish list, too.

Even with the DOJ pushing legal cases that are &quot;more farce and fiction&quot; than &quot;realistic or true.&quot; Trying to use the wrong laws, just to &quot;make it sound like&quot; some laws &quot;may have been&quot; broken. When none have been broken, also &quot;none of the people voting for the Democrat party, plan to brake any laws.&quot; The only people that are planing &quot;to be criminals by messing about with the voting results.&quot; Are Donald Trump and the Republican party. All US Voting is at &quot;The State Level.&quot; Trump is insisting that &quot;The Federal Level&quot; has some moral imperative to step in and insist that &quot;only The Republicans are going to be allowed to win.&quot; In each &quot;State Level race&quot; by screwing with the voter lists. insisting all democratic voters are criminals.(Trump has tried that line of BS before, back when Biden won.)
