Perhaps most important story in this morning's paper. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/opi…
OK, but Newsom needs an advisor who can wean him off the slicked back Fonzie look. Or is there some demographic I don't know about for whom it's a winning look?
MAGA might be motivated around child sex abuse but you can make them forget all about that by going on Sunday morning blah blah blah shows and talking about arresting a black man.
How much does maga care about protecting children? When Jeff Epstein's best friend started to face heat for trying to cover up an international sex trafficking ring, his approval rating went up, and his base started screaming, "ARREST OBAMA." That's how much maga cares about…
So under the GENIUS Act, your stablecoin is legally required to be backed 1:1 by U.S. Treasuries. But here’s the catch: You don’t earn the interest. The issuer does. You take the risk. They take the profit. Welcome to the future of fintech: Public risk, private gain.
Pay close attention to what David Sacks says towards the end.
They could have created a digital treasury bond but it made more sense to set it up with profit for middlemen who can make political donations and let individual buyers take risk of middlemen shenanigans or failure.
So the stable coin thing is basically the us government creating a program for banks and crypto companies to join become sellers of gift cards like you see at every checkout aisle.
Do MAGA people have any recognition how strongly their program parallels that of the Taliban and their ilk? One is tempted to call them plagiarists. Though MAGA might outdo them on lack of self-awareness and size of the grift at the top.
Worth a read. Provocative fiction can do a lot to unstick conversations that have gotten slowed down by very legitimate multifarious nuances.
New blog post (link in next tweet) - "AI Auditing 2027." This one's in a different style than usual (fiction!) and I also give some hints about what I'm doing next.
Turns out Epstein files are all handwritten using autopen. Biden and Obama had that thing running 24/7.
Is justice missing from #AI conversations? ⚖️ At #AIForgood, #climate, #health, & #education were hot topics, but justice was often left out. HiiL's Ronald Lenz asks how #AI can close the global justice gap for 5B people. Read more: hiil.org/news/justice-b…
🚨Let’s name names. These are the 6 Republicans on the House Rules Committee who voted to block the release of the Epstein files: – Virginia Foxx (NC) – Michelle Fischbach (MN) – Erin Houchin (IN) – Nick Langworthy (NY) – Austin Scott (GA) – Morgan Griffith (VA) They had a…
The worst of the Trump crowd, beyond their deliberate ignorance, their corruption, their cruelty, and their bigotry, is their messianic believe that the ends justify the means, and therefore lying is holy.
I own a medical billing company, so trust me when I tell you: The United States is the only country on Earth that employs more people in the business of blocking access to healthcare than it employs in the business of providing healthcare. You got suckered. And it shows.
Don't see the word "bigotry" too much these days but, wow, if a post attracts the attention of some MAGA folk, you sure see a lot of blatant bigotry.
Is anyone asking about this? @NewsHour, @nytimes, @NPR
Has the Trump administration started any prosecutions of the employers where these undocumented immigrants were working? 8 U.S.C. § 1324a Unlawful Employment of Aliens calls for civil fines, criminal penalties, or debarment from government contracts. Hallo, Pam Bondi.
