There is a Frank Herbert quote that describes the future of the West perfectly:
“When I am weaker than you I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.”

“Republicans will try to use this to say it’s illegitimate for ANY community of color to elect their candidate of choice. Not just in the South.”

Attorney General falsely claims that a “ton of evidence” exists that 2020 election was stolen, but can’t answer why DOJ hasn’t made it public or brought charges.

SECURITY

Peter Neumann was a patent troll.
He never actually built anything but put his name on a lot of cybersecurity patents that SRI then used to sue companies that actually did build products. The cybersecurity community is better off without him. Neumann supplied the credibility of a long-time researcher warning that this was not just “hackers breaking into things,” but a structural failure of technology markets, procurement, engineering discipline, and risk management. The L0pht supplied the proof that the warnings were not theoretical. Together, we made the hearing unusually powerful: the academic risk community and the hacker community were telling the Senate the same thing, in different languages, before the rest of the world had fully caught up.

“Like all rights and privileges, security is about power Who gets it, who doles it out and what interests it protects .
Mudge and the others were hackers who had come from the Security side of things.

TEACHING KIDS TO READ

For Young Kids, Screen Time Isn’t Just an At-Home Issue Anymore
Young children may be logging more screen time than parents realize, because of a communication gap between home and school. a majority of children age 5 and under spend at least part of their week in an early care and education setting, where screen time may be less visible, but is often present in some form. Best practices around children and digital media — and that research emphasizes the importance of in-person, hands-on and relational interactions for young children.

IT’S NOT A CONSPIRACY IT’S THE TRUTH

Michael LEWIS SAYS

BRIBES

Rep Raskin: “If you do the math on this…the first thing I did was I divided $1.7 billion by 1600, which is the number of pardoned insurrectionists and rioters there were, and you get just over $1 million. EACH one of them could be given $1 million and then they would have tens of millions left over for other purposes, but he’s basically replenishing the private militia that he pardoned from January 6th just in time for the 2026 elections.”

Trump pardoned  Notable big drug dealers  in 2025:
• Ross Ulbricht (Jan 21): Founder of Silk Road, online marketplace for
drugs like cocaine and heroin, generating $200M in sales.

• Changpeng Zhao (date unspecified): Binance CEO involved in money laundering for drug traffickers and other crimes.

Judge Lets Connected Teen Rapist Walk Free After Filmed Strangulation Rapes. This Oklahoma judge gave 17-year-old Jesse Butler — son of a former OSU football director — just probation and counseling instead of prison. He tried to rape two high school girls, filmed himself doing it, and nearly strangled one to death. Facing up to 78 years, he got “youthful offender” status. Victims ignored under Marsy’s Law. Families furious. This elite protection is disgusting.

EDUCATION: COLLEGE GRADUATES HATE AI

Former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt gets booed every time he mentions artificial intelligence during his commencement speech at the University of Arizona. THIS IS THE 2ND ONE I’VE SEEN BOOOOOOd off the stage at commencement. The billionaires thought they could push their AI techno-capitalist dystopian society onto us without any resistance at all. They were wrong. The best part is they didn’t stop.
They booed throughout his entire speech!
His face at the end is priceless.
All of these cheerleaders for AI need to be publicly shamed. They should go back under their rocks. And the politicians allowing these companies to do whatever they want, needs to be out. No matter which party.

INSIDER TRADING

ESSAY
P a u l @SkylineReport
https://x.com/SkylineReport/status/2056028401211736382
Trump’s insider trading exposure may actually be stronger than cases that already sent politicians to prison.
Chris Collins went to prison for a single stock tip tied to information learned at the White House.
Steve Buyer went to prison for trading around two corporate deals worth a few hundred thousand dollars.
Trump?
Over 3,600 trades.
Up to $750 MILLION in activity.
Tech stocks directly impacted by policies HE controls.
Nvidia trades around export-control decisions.
Palantir trades around DHS contracts.
Oracle positions around TikTok policy moves.
Hyperscaler trades around AI and Pentagon contracts.
And unlike presidents trying to avoid conflicts, Trump reportedly did NOT use a qualified blind trust.

That matters because insider trading law is fundamentally about:
1. Access to material non-public information.
2. A duty not to exploit it.
No one on Earth has more access to market-moving non-public policy information than the President of the United States.
And unlike the Burr/Loeffler COVID cases, this wasn’t passive exposure to vague briefing material.
These were affirmative policy decisions:
export licenses, AI rules, federal contracts, antitrust actions, TikTok policy, semiconductor restrictions. The exact kind of decisions capable of moving billions in market value.
The prosecution theory practically writes itself:
“Trump traded repeatedly in companies directly affected by non-public presidential policy actions under his control.”
That is a much cleaner insider trading narrative than many cases prosecutors have already won.
If any normal executive traded hundreds of millions around government actions they personally controlled, the FBI would already be crawling through their phones, emails, managers, and transaction records with a fucking microscope.

TRUMP – EPSTEIN

Reporter: “You saw the reports that missile launchers remain in Iran. Is that accurate?”
Trump: “No, that’s New York Times fake news. The launchers are probably 80% gone.”
Fact: Not NYT but U.S. intelligence reports say 🇮🇷 Iran has restored 100% of its missile capabilities.

CHINA CONFIRMS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT BEIJING EMPTY-HANDED:

– NO agreement on Iran.
– NO concessions on Taiwan.
– NO H200 deal.
– NO decision on rare earth trucks.
– NO release of Jimmy Lai, and fewer Boeing aircraft orders than expected.

It was just a holiday trip…

Bill Cassidy just lost his Republican primary in Louisiana
— five years after he voted to convict Donald Trump for January 6.
– He came in third with 24%.
Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow finished first with 44%.
State Treasurer John Fleming finished second. The runoff is June 27.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, on the record this week:
A sitting member of Congress just confirmed at a public hearing that Trump’s DOJ identified at least six Epstein co-conspirators in 2019 — and is still hiding their names.
“A very important document was displayed at this particular hearing showing that the Department of Justice itself, back in 2019, identified numerous co-conspirators to Jeffrey Epstein. But that very document came back to us produced with redactions of at least six individuals, and none of them have been disclosed.”

CSPAN Ted Lieu on camera:
“The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped children.”
A sitting congressman said this on the record.
https://x.com/epsteinsearchin/status/2031059033462026698

JPMorgan settled Epstein-related lawsuits for $290M in June 2023.
The bank admitted no wrongdoing.
No criminal charges were filed.
Internal emails showed executives knew about Epstein’s conviction and kept him anyway.

The DOJ released 300 pages of Epstein’s financial records in March 2024.
They showed wire transfers to offshore accounts.
No names of recipients were disclosed.
Federal prosecutors said the rest is under seal “for ongoing investigations.”

Alex Acosta in congressional testimony: “I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone.”
No investigation into who told him that.
No intelligence agency confirmed or denied it.
Acosta resigned as Labor Secretary in 2019.

The law that compelled Epstein file releases was written by Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY).
Mark Levin attacked both for it.
Ann Coulter defended both, and called Levin’s attack a defense of teen sex abuse.
Cross-aisle on disclosure. Intra-right on cover-up.

Epstein in 2007 to police: “She told me she was 18.”
Florida law: sex with a minor under 18 is statutory rape regardless of what they say.
He served 13 months with work release.

Alan Dershowitz in 2019: “I never had sex with anyone underage. These are lies.”
Deposition records show Giuffre named Dershowitz in sworn testimony in 2016.
They settled in 2022. Terms confidential.

Ghislaine Maxwell in her 2016 deposition: “I don’t remember ever scheduling massages.”
Virginia Giuffre, Johanna Sjoberg, and 10 other witnesses testified Maxwell kept a schedule book and called them.
Maxwell is serving 20 years.

CLARITY ACT ADVANCES, ELIZABETH WARREN DENIED
The US Senate Banking Committee just voted to advance the CLARITY Act, crypto’s long-awaited market structure bill. All 13 Republican members voted yes, joined by 2 Democrats, ending months of stalled progress.

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act with a 15-9 vote. The bill will head to the full Senate in the weeks ahead, requiring 60 votes to pass. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicts it’ll be “signed by President Trump before the end of summer.”

Before Clarity
• Institutions understood the structure, couldn’t allocate at scale.
• Stablecoin yield sat outside the compliance perimeter of most TradFi allocators.
• DeFi integrated vaults were considered a compliance risk by fintechs.
After Clarity
• Real world payments backed yield is structurally aligned with what CLARITY permits.
• The passive yield ban funnels capital into LP tokens, PST is one of compliant alternatives.
• Asset managers and institutional treasuries can allocate to PST, access real-world payment yield onchain, and offer clients structured exposure to global payment flows.

hopefully Clarity takes full effect this summer! Eyes on July 4th
