$FRAX RINO' HUNT: President Trump took aim at $ME Indiana Senate Majority Leader Rod Bray $STO after the Republican leader "betrayed" the party and resisted a White House-backed push to redraw the stateโs congressional maps, vowing to "work tirelessly" to remove Bray from office.

$FRAX ๐บ๐ธ๐ป๐ช INSIDER LEAK OR LUCKY BETS? PREDICTION MARKETS FLAGGED AFTER MADURO FALL$ME
$STO Trump said the โVenezuela leakerโ has been found and is in jail. He didnโt name the person, but it sparked a ton of eyeballs on prediction markets like Polymarket because some accounts made crazy profitable bets right before Venezuelaโs leadership got taken down.
Blockchain watchers noticed that at least a couple of those big wallets that hit it big on bets about Maduroโs removal have gone quiet (they havenโt traded in days) and one of them is still rolling with bets on Iranโs Supreme Leader being ousted by the end of the month.
So the vibe online right now is either: * Someone had legit insider info and front-ran it, * Or it was a wild lucky guess that happened to land perfectly.
Whatever the case, lawmakers are now talking about tightening rules because people are freaked out that folks might be making millions off political/military secrets in these markets.
Itโs weird and a bit wild: political leaks + prediction markets + real world events all tangled together.

$FRAX ๐ฎ๐ท DID IRAN USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON PROTESTERS?
$ME Yesterday we posted about claims regarding chemical weapons having been used against Iranian protesters.
$RIVER Hereโs what we know, and my opinion on the matter
Bill Esterson, a member of theย British Labour Partyโsย foreign policy team, made this claim on GB News basing it on a โcredibleโ report. The story was then reported by many media outlets.
As mentioned in our tweet, this claim was not verified and hasnโt been mentioned by any other sources.
Many were upset by this claim, and rightly so, comparing it to similar claims by the U.S. which were later debunked (Iraqโs alleged stockpiles of chemical weapons, or accusations against Soviet-backed forces in Vietnam and Laos)
My Thoughts: Itโs simple, we do not know.
There is a complete internet blackout and no foreign journalists are allowed.
However, although I am very critical of the regime, I doubt they used chemical weapons on the protesters. They do not need to, they significantly outnumber and outgun the people on the streets, and using chemical weapons would not only justify, but create a moral imperative for Trump to intervene, something they are desperately trying to avoid.
I do however believe they shot unarmed protesters in a very brutal crackdown, one that seems to dwarf any other protest in Iranโs modern history, including the 1979 revolution.
