Democrats need to get up to speed on crypto and understand it as nothing less than a threat to the rule of law, and nation states themselves. There is no 'political compromise' to be had here. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...

Today, we laid out our proposal to ban Russian gas imports by the end of 2027. Europe has already cut its dependence drastically. Now, we’re turning off the tap for good. Russia will no longer be able to use energy as a weapon against us.

CBO releases a “dynamic” score of the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, finding that it would add $2.77 trillion to the debt. That’s worse than the static score of $2.4 trillion in new debt. The reason? Economic growth revenue is outweighed by higher interest payments.

One of the more maddening parts of the generative AI bubble is that, for it to make sense, it would have to have the combined value of both the smartphone market (around $500bn) and enterprise software (>$250bn) market...combined, and that's effectively what they're promising! Total flimflam

Yesterday, Trump professed his love for Putin at the G7, Hegseth blocked resupplying missile defense components to protect Kyiv from Russian strikes, and Putin launched a massive attack on Kyiv about which Trump and Hegseth said nothing... does this tell you anything?

My gut reaction to everything happening here was that this was always what big tech wanted to do, but because the actual value of AI is so vague (and specious in many cases!) they are basically saying "yeah we're uhh, just, uhh, stuff is more now. It also has AI. Enjoy?"

This is possibly the most disastrous thing Trump has tweeted. The demand for “unconditional surrender” from a country we are not yet at war with locks US policy in an unachievable dead end. I have FOUR chapters of my book devoted to that phase and how it prolonged WWII in Germany and Japan.

Can Trump supporters explain why Trump advocated for bringing Russia back into the G7 like I’m an 10-year-old? Did no one tell Trump the whole reason Russia was kicked out of G8 in the first place was because Putin invaded Crimea, Ukraine? Russia has shown zero interest in diplomatic solutions.
