🇺🇸⚡️- Trump Media Group has announced Truth API will be available starting today, and will be available to "institutional customers".

Their announcement letter posted earlier last month says that "Truth API is designed for organizations most impacted by the cost of a delay in information. This includes high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms that require a low-latency, machine-readable feed rather than manual tracking.", explicitly acknowledging the primary customer of this service is companies trying to trade on his announcements.

There is no price listed, and interested organizations are asked to contact them directly via email for more information. This means Trump Media Group will conduct human review to decide who will get access to the service, and that the API will not be generally available. Many media outlets state the price is $100,000/month.

The API service they are selling does not allow users to access information before it is publicly available (at least to the public's knowledge); it only allows you to load already public posts faster than someone manually refreshing the page. Assuming they aren't giving early access to the posts, even getting these posts a couple of seconds earlier than non-paying customers through a faster connection point is a huge advantage if you were trying to trade oil futures based on Trump’s posts related to the US-Iran ceasefire.

Even if the publicly accessible website and API show posts from the same database, if the API has access to the main database where posts are uploaded, your browser retrieves the posts from regional servers closer to your location; just the time between the post being uploaded to the main server and the post being propagated to regional server hosts could be a matter of several seconds' advantage.

It should be noted that these “real time api’s” (official and unofficial) exist for every single social media site and are already used by trading firms for this purpose, although none of them allow the post author to collect the money from the api’s like in this case, and the post author couldn't hand-pick who had access. There are also already unofficial, free, and publicly available api's to do this yourself that you can set up easily (https://github.com/w2rc/truthbrush) without paying 1.2 million per year, except without the “special access” that the official API would presumably give you.

🇺🇸⚡- "GOP staffers say they have a Groyper problem.

The grownups are worried. In group chats and at happy hours, some GOP veterans fret about the rising generation of young staffers in their party.

Of specific concern are those labeled groypers — technically, followers of the self-described 'White Identitarian' Gen Z streamer Nick Fuentes.

Prominent conservative commentators have alleged that groyperism is spreading among younger members of the GOP, including in government — a view seemingly backed by examples like the young Trump administration lawyer who admitted to a 'Nazi streak' in text messages revealed by POLITICO.

There are widely varying, and bitterly disputed, estimates of the true scale of groyperism in the GOP’s young D.C. professional class, from ubiquitous to negligible. One anonymous conservative, described only as 'an older insider,' told the Free Press’s Rod Dreher that the term applies to 30 to 40 percent of 'Gen Z congressional and administration staffers,'" - POLITICO.

🇻🇪🇺🇸⚡️ — Venezuelan Interim President Delcy Rodríguez told TIME Magazine that she believes Nicolás Maduro's biggest mistake was leaving Venezuela too internationally isolated, arguing the country should have maintained more open and diversified geopolitical relationships, particularly with the U.S.

She said her government is working to rebuild international trust and expand diplomatic ties.

Asked whether she has communicated with Maduro since his transfer to a U.S. federal prison, Rodríguez said she has had very little contact, receiving only messages through his lawyers.

Rodríguez noted Maduro believes the developments in Venezuela have been very positive.

🇪🇸🇲🇦⚡️- Spanish media, The Objective, reports that Spanish intelligence had warned the government of the Moroccan invasion of Ceuta well in advance, including reporting what Spanish intelligence believed were rehearsals, and were ignored.

"Intelligence reports warned the government of a possible migrant surge in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla around the time of Morocco’s Throne Day [Public holiday in Morocco].

According to various military and civilian intelligence sources speaking to THE OBJECTIVE, the government systematically ignored the warnings. This was the case even days before the mass influx, when warnings were issued about the unusual arrival of a large number of coaches in the Moroccan town of Castillejos – the closest to the Ceuta border – where thousands of people had gathered. Shortly afterwards, they crossed en masse into Ceuta, as predicted.

These same sources explain that, coinciding with the monarchy’s celebrations, the intelligence services warned of the ‘likelihood’ of a ‘gesture of magnanimity’ on the part of King Mohammed VI. These initial warnings, however, were soon followed by all the crossings on foot that had previously been taking place from Castillejos and the mass arrival of coaches from various parts of the neighbouring country. Within ten days, around 1,000 migrants had managed to reach the autonomous city after crossing the sea. Intelligence services interpreted these flows as ‘test runs’ by Morocco and once again alerted the government." - The Objective.
