Don Jr. and Eric launched Trump Moblie in June 2025 and promised a "MADE IN AMERICA" gold-plated Trump phone by August.
They started accepting $100 deposits for pre-orders.
11 months later, the Trump phone has not materialized.
2. A $499 “MADE IN THE USA” phone was always a fantasy. There is only one phone that is currently assembled in the US. It costs $2000 and “has specs that would have been more impressive a decade ago.”
3. Trump Mobile executives now say the phone will not be "MADE IN THE USA" and instead describe the Trump phone as “Proudly American” and “designed with American values in mind” -- two phrases that mean nothing
3. According to the ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC), payments to third parties were supposed to resume on April 30. ICE has contracted with a private firm, Acentra Health, to process reimbursements.
But April 30 came and went, and still, nothing is being processed.
1. A member of the U.S. Special Forces was just arrested for using classified info to turn a 400K profit on Polymarket.
The company is CELEBRATING this scandal as evidence that "the system works."
But Polymarket's story doesn't add up.
Let's dig in.

2. Gannon Van Dyke, part of the Special Forces unit that captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, was indicted for misappropriating classified information to turn a 400K profit on Polymarket.
1. A tiny California tribe, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, just donated $2 MILLION to MAGA Inc, Trump's Super PAC.
I decided to find out why.
It's an illustration of exactly how business is done in Trump’s Washington.
Follow along for details.
🧵
2. The Yocha Dehe operates the Cache Creek Casino Resort. For a decade, the Yocha Dehe has been in a legal dispute with the Scotts Valley tribe, which is trying to build a casino about 60 miles away.
3. For Scotts Valley to build their casion, they need a technical determination by the Interior Department that “restored lands” — property with both a historical and modern connection to the tribe.
That enables them to get the green light for gaming.
1. For $500,000, you can have a one-on-one meeting with Trump tomorrow, according to an email solicitation obtained by Popular Information.
Follow this thread for details.
🧵
2. The email from Sinan Kanatsiz offers a “one-on-one meeting and private photo with President Donald Trump” in exchange for a “contribution of $500,000 to TPUSA PAC.”
3. Kanatsiz describes his invitation as “strictly confidential and non-transferable.” The bottom of the message warns, “NOT FOR SHARING — CONFIDENTIAL.” A source shared the email on the condition of anonymity, fearing professional consequences for providing information to a journalist.
