Senator Chris Murphy, Truth Social API and Insider Trading Claims
Senator Chris Murphy criticized a new Truth Social subscription service that provides early API access to Donald Trump's posts for $100,000 per month. Murphy characterized the service as a "criminal syndicate" allowing Wall Street firms to engage in legal insider trading by gaining information milliseconds before the public. The hosts argue that similar APIs exist on platforms like X and that the service is a standard capitalist data product rather than a bribe.
