Shameful.

Mark this day. So much going on ... but when crypto inevitably crashes, the Democratic Party will be wholly complicit in the poverty and suffering that results.

A dark day in American history just got worse. We will all pay for this folly.

Senate Democrats know the so-called GENIUS bill will wreak havoc on the US and the global economy, but can't be bothered to use their leverage to get it right.

Maybe show some concern over Section 9 of the so-called GENIUS Act, Senator.

The possibilities of chaos laid out in this essay are precisely why I have been sending comments to @markwarner.bsky.social. He simply does not care. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Terrifying. The last thing we need is creating greater potential for a national or global financial crisis.

As a constituent, I have sent comments on the so-called GENIUS Act to @markwarner.bsky.social - before and after his disastrous cloture vote. Recently I pointed to Section 9, which pushes stablecoin holders to the front of the line in case of default. 1/

Agatha Christie's Hjerson. Utterly engrossing and sublime.

Farcical if it weren't so reprehensible. Though we can say this about so many things these days.

"'If Dems bail on [the GENIUS Act], they will get 0 dollars going forward,' said Avichal Garg, a managing partner at the venture capital firm Electric Capital, which focuses on digital asset technology like cryptocurrency. 'It would be political suicide for them not to support it.'"

PLEASE STOP USING AI GENERATED ART TO ILLUSTRATE YOUR POSTS. YOU CORRODE AND VITIATE THE ALLEGEDLY POSITIVE MESSAGE YOU ARE TRYING TO CONVEY. IT IS LIKE CHOOSING TO DELIVER LIFE-SAVING DRUGS IN A BOOBY-TRAPPED BOX.

We will know this week if there is any spine in the US Senate. Or if we have officially transitioned to something Edward Gibbon would have skewered mercilessly.

A Stephen Crane poem: “Think as I think,” said a man, “Or you are abominably wicked; You are a toad.” And after I had thought of it, I said, “I will, then, be a toad.”

"Stephen Miller and Donald Trump have made a choice: To hunt law-abiding migrants rather than the Trump supporters gunning down Democrats in their homes." Boom.

Impromptu POTUS G7 departure interview calls failed parade a big success because weather report was wrong. So decimating NOAA is a feature not a bug, apparently.

I didn't believe posts saying @nytimes.com has disappeared the No Kings protests from its homepage. A headline already minimized them by saying "thousands," not "millions," turned up. Just looked. The critics are correct. No Kings protests have literally been erased from the homepage. #fail

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

Trevor Griffiths' THESE ARE THE TIMES is a lively, moving and deeply felt examination of the arc of Paine's public career. It will interest anyone who's fascinated by these extraordinary objects and materials. What would Paine make of 2025? spokesmanbooks.org/product/span...
