    BREAKING: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon just publicly confirmed why his bank refused to donate to Trump’s new White House ballroom.

    He said the quiet part out loud.

    Companies are afraid the next DOJ will view Trump’s fundraising machine as “buying favors.”

    And when you read the donor list… you understand exactly why.

    .U.S. Navy veteran “100 percent” regrets voting for Trump—after ICE detains his wife.

    Now she’s locked up on Thanksgiving Day—despite not being charged with any crime—and being a lawful permanent resident.

    Donna Hughes-Brown wrote a bad check for $25 in 2015—she paid it back and served probation.

    She has lived in Missouri for 37 years—her family has grown to include 4 kids and 5 grandkids.

    Her husband James Brown—who served in U.S. Navy from 1985 to 2005—is asking Trump: “Please show me in the Bible where this is what you are supposed to do. It’s wrong. Period.”

    She is currently awaiting her deportation hearing at an ICE detention center in Kentucky. #DemsUnited

    ICE detain parents dropping daughter off at middle school—leave girl behind alone in passenger seat.

    “Bringing your kid to school and getting picked up by ICE,” cries woman filming.

    “Are you guys gonna call somebody for her… why are you just leaving her here?” she asks agent.

    “Go take somebody else that’s actually committing a crime!” she yells. “Not taking their kid to school!”

    The incident occurred near West Lake STEM Middle School in West Valley City, Utah. #DemsUnited

    ICE detains wife of U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant—who served 20 years and 2 tours in Afghanistan.

    She had just finished the final interview for green card—suddenly agents handcuffed her.

    “We do everything that we can to protect and serve our country. And then they go and betray us by treating us like we’ve never done anything.”

    “Yes, I do kind of feel betrayed, to be honest,” concluded her husband, Staff Sergeant Samuel Shasteen.

    “Any other time in U.S. history, her green card would have been approved,” said lawyer—even if she did technically overstay her visa as ICE claims.

    His wife is now locked up at the notoriously harsh Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, California. #DemsUnited

    ICE “unlawfully” deports young mother—separates her from infant baby against her will.

    Agents promised she could take baby with her if she signed documents—it was a trick to detain her.

    Judge approved a special immigrant juvenile visa—which legally blocked ICE from deporting her—they sent her back to Honduras alone anyway.

    “She was given deferred action, which is literally a ‘we’re not going to deport you,'” family lawyer said.

    “It is discretionary. It can be revoked—but it wasn’t revoked.”

    Kimberlyn Yaritza Menjivar Aguilar, 22, gave birth to her baby just eight months ago, shortly after moving to South Dakota. #DemsUnited

    THE REAL VENEZUELA STORY

    The US State Department’s own 2025 report names Mexico as the only significant fentanyl source affecting America.

    Venezuela is not mentioned. Not once.

    Yet 21 strikes. 83 dead. Zero evidence released.

    NBC News confirmed what officials know: Caribbean drug vessels move cocaine to Europe, not the United States.

    So why 15,000 troops? Why pull the USS Gerald R. Ford from the Mediterranean? Why defense contracts extending to 2028?

    303 billion barrels.

    The largest proven oil reserves on Earth. Seventeen percent of global supply. Tens of trillions in asset value sitting beneath Venezuelan soil.

    The New York Times reports Maduro offered access. Trump rejected it.

    He wanted more.

    The SOUTHCOM commander resigned after his senior military lawyer’s concerns about legality were sidelined. The UN Human Rights Commissioner stated the strikes fail international law standards. The administration’s own Office of Legal Counsel opinion reportedly prohibits strikes inside Venezuelan territory.

    The President announced land operations coming “very soon.”

    This is not a drug war. This is a template.

    Designate a government’s military as terrorists. Declare “armed conflict” with criminal elements. Invoke war powers. Circumvent every constraint built since 1648.

    The Westphalian principle that sovereignty is inherent in statehood is being replaced with something older: sovereignty as privilege, revocable when the powerful decide.

    Venezuela is the proof of concept.

    The template, once validated, does not stay in the Caribbean.

    Every nation with resources and a contestable government now lives in a different world than the one that existed in August.

    The physics of international relations just changed.

    Update your models accordingly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Alternative data shows US layoffs are surging:

    Job cuts tracked by MacroEdge jumped +70,609 MoM in October, to 154,559, the highest in at least 2 years.

    Monthly job cuts have now exceeded 100,000 for the 5th time this year.

    At the same time, layoff announcements compiled by Challenger Gray spiked +99,010, to 153,074, the highest since March.

    This also marks the highest monthly number for any October in 22 years.

    All while employees notified of mass layoffs via WARN notices tracked by Revelio rose +11,912 last month to 43,626, the 2nd-highest in at least 2 years.

    US layoffs are accelerating.

    The US economy is now BUILT on AI:

    US private nonresidential fixed real investment in data centers has soared +300% over the last 3 years.

    During the same period, inflation-adjusted nonresidential investment in structures excluding data centers has barely seen any growth.

    These are offices, shopping centers, hotels, warehouses, factories, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial buildings.

    Meanwhile, AI-related spending has contributed 62.5%, or 1 percentage point, to the 1.6% US GDP growth in the first 6 months of 2025.

    Without AI, the US would be in a recession.

    US data center construction plans are soaring:

    Data center capacity that is built, under construction, or in planning hit a record ~80 gigawatts in 2025.

    To put this into perspective, this much capacity could theoretically power up to 60 MILLION homes.

    Capacity has more than DOUBLED over the last year and is now 8 times higher than it was in 2022.

    This comes as planned projects make up ~65 gigawatts of the total, an all-time high.

    AI expansion will soon be ALL about energy.

    So people say alleged ICE agents are putting Uber stickers on the vehicles they’re driving a X they’re not sure whether these are real agents or not! Make sure you always check your Uber driver and vehicle before getting in! This is some scary stuff especially if it’s really ICE. https://t.co/iWEqRXljxJ
