Breaking: Donald Trump just fired the federal prosecutor who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking.
Is really 12% of the QS float still short? No wonder so much upward momentum on positive news from the company.

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by @DeptofDefense and @NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from 3 weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/critical-hur…

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization. Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what…
Don't let anyone gaslight you. Everyone saw what happened.
A thread to enjoy.
228 years ago, British and Spanish faced off in one of history’s most incredible naval battles The epic showdown changed the course of history — and gave birth to Britain’s greatest hero of the past millennium It all began by disobeying orders…🧵
