Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated.
Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.
Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trumpβs tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.
Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.

There is no amount of safety you can purchase for yourself under fascism. None.
There is no security you can procure for yourself, your institution, your endowment from a would-be tyrant. NONE.
Only fools believe otherwise.

Happy Anniversary to this wonderful community that we carved out of rock with our bare hands and made into a better place than the place we were before. It couldn't have happened without all of you being willing to take a leap of faith and having the courage to start anew. I love you #bbsky π

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to visit Portland amid ICE protests
Noem's visit is expected to happen Tuesday, but the exact time and location have not been announced.
Kristi Noem is in PDX today.
She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids.
Do not give her what she wants.
The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.

"CBP was already out looking for Martinez because she had doxed a CBP officer as a YouTuber...The Tahoe was unmarked....And that officer β the guy whose identity Martinez allegedly doxed β is the guy involved in a brutal assault at what I believe is just two blocks away, possibly also on Saturday."

I should also add this for ppl who are rightfully put off by "atheism" discourse: it's not just about atheists. Trump has directed the FBI et al to target leftists for thought crimes. I talk about sociological research on how that went in the 1960s during "Cointelpro" and how this is so much worse π§ͺ

Remember being told, don't judge a book by its cover?
Well, this administration is trying to steal your data: medical, prescription, etc. all under the guise of "lower costs".
But it's not true.
