It should be bigger news that Trump has pledged to have federal forces invade nearly every major American city to takeover law enforcement.
Trump Media and Technology Group
If you invested $1,000 in March, it is worth $190 today.
The GOP is a Russian asset.
#FromRussiaWithLove Sources close to @realDonaldTrump
are saying a flurry of calls among GOP leaders, including Senators and Congressmen, over the weekend in response to the “From Russia with Lev” premiere.
Strategy? **Ignore and divert**.
The aim is to shift the news cycle away from the controversial content.

“Bill Barr not only politized, he weaponized the DoJ on behalf of Donald Trump to go after his political enemies and help his political friends” ~Parnas
Bill Barr, another corrupt weasel!
@FrankFigliuzzi1 : “I’ve joined over 1600 of my former DOJ colleagues in calling out AG Barr for threatening free and fair elections: 1,600 former Justice Department lawyers accuse Barr of using DOJ to help Trump in election”
When the truth comes out about why Graham became Trump’s patsy, it will be devastating both personally and politically. DNI Official Refuses to Tell Senator Graham if His Conversations with Foreign Leaders were Monitored
Bradley Brooker, the acting general counsel for the director of National Intelligence, declines to disclose if conversations Senator Lindsey Graham has had with foreign leaders have been monitored and if someone made a request to unmask him. He says the request is still be worked on.
!!!!! When newspapers owned by billionaires bash remote work, they’re really just trying to protect office real estate from a $1 trillion financial crash. !!!!!!
They spent their 2020 bailout money on office towers that have tanked in value. That’s why they’re angry.
The Elite’s War on Remote Work Has Nothing to Do with Productivity
It’s about debt on zombie office towers.

#DeportElonMusk traitor tyrant Elmo
Musk did gift some Cybertrucks to Putin’s Chechen warlord Kadyrov, but when the news got out was forced to remotely disable them lest he be arrested for an intentional sanctions violation.
Chechen warlord accuses Elon Musk of ‘remotely disabling’ his Cybertruck
MAJOR NEW UPDATE: Elon Musk failed to appear for testimony in a FRAUD probe related to his $44 billion Twitter takeover, prompting the Securities and Exchange Commission to seek sanctions. The SEC disclosed in a court filing on Friday that they plan to take action against Musk for his absence.
A federal judge previously ordered Musk to testify as part of the SEC’s investigation into whether his actions and statements regarding the acquisition of Twitter, now known as X, were in compliance with the law.

49% of the class of ’23 at Dartmouth, where I reach, went into finance or consulting. Even were the most ardent capitalist–I am really not that–this would be a crushing statistic. So much energy, education, & intellect hoovered up by one sector.

FTC Chair Lina Khan went on 60 Minutes and talked about how the same inhaler that cost $7 in France used to cost $500 in the U.S. Then she took action and got giant pharma companies to bring the cost here down to $35.
Cambodia celebrates return of dozens of Khmer treasures from the Met and other collections
At least 14 of the newly repatriated ancient Khmer objects to Cambodia were previously held by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has had extensive dealings with Douglas Latchford and other accused antiquities smugglers
The spate of repatriations followed extensive efforts to trace and recover looted ancient artifacts, including some identified by ICIJ and linked to disgraced art dealer Douglas Latchford.

We must all do our part in the fight for freedom — from the workers in Scranton who make Pennsylvania the arsenal of democracy to the brave Ukrainian soldiers protecting their country.
We stand with Ukraine in their just defense of their homeland in the face of Russian aggression.

Telegram Changes Policy, Says It Will Provide User Data to Authorities
in a massive shift, Telegram says it now *will* provide user data to authorities in response to legal orders. Includes IP addresses and phone numbers. Yesterday privacy policy said just terror suspects. Now it is crimes more broadly
A new regression in the TV interface version of YouTube
Here’s a rather inane regression in the TV interface version of YouTube. Until a day or two ago, there were separate Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons on the UI, to Like or Dislike the current video.
Those have now been combined into one button, with both thumbs up and
thumbs down on it. If you click it, you’ll get a panel where you can choose Like or Dislike. BUT … the new combined button, unlike the individual buttons that used to be present, does not change to show whether you already Liked or Disliked that video. It looks the same for Like, Dislike, or if you never chose either! The only way to know is to click that button and look at the resulting Like/Dislike panel, which does show this info. A new way to waste users’ time. Does anyone at Google actually dogfood this stuff anymore before pushing it to prod? Jeez. -L

BlackRock now requires Coinbase to deposit #Bitcoin directly on-chain within 12 hours of instruction after concerns were raised it was selling “paper BTC” to ETFs. I wish BlackRock would require SWIFT to settle my lowly fiat bags within 12hrs.
(US ETFs acquired 913k bitcoins since January)
Supply of coins continues to decline and bull run is about to get interesting. “Get some / get yours” before they are all gone (only 1,242,163 ever to mined in the next 100 years.
BlackRock amended its spot #Bitcoin ETF custody agreement with Coinbase to improve withdrawal times.
Coinbase must now process BTC withdrawals to a public address within 12 hours of receiving instruction
(ii) Section 2.2. The below new sentence shall be added to Section 2.2.
For the avoidance Of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement (including any SLAS associated therewith), while a Trade Credit remains unpaid, Client may make withdrawals Of Digital Assets from the Custodial Account to public blockchain addresses provided that an amount equivalent to such Trade Credit is kept in the aggregate of the Borrower’s Trading Balance and Vault Balance following such withdrawal. Subject to confirmation of the foregoing required minimum balance, Coinbase Custody shall process a withdrawal of Digital Assets from the Custodial Account to a public blockchain address within 12 hours of obtaining an Instruction from Client or Client’s Authorized Representatives,
COINBASE DOESN’T OWE YOU
9.3.4. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a holder of cbBTC holds an ownership interest in the Bitcoin custodied by Coinbase in accordance with Section 9.1.5 above. In the event of a shortfall in the amount of Bitcoin that has been wrapped as cbBTC and held by Coinbase in accordance with Section 9.1.5 above, Coinbase’s liability vis-a-vis any holder of cbBTC will be limited to such holder’s pro rata share of the shortfall amount.

#CRYPTO #ETHERIUM
There’s only one adult in the room with us.
It’s called Bitcoin.
It may be boring, but it’s your best bet at financial independence.
The rest are a great bet at financial ruin, especially if you hold too long. That’s the TLDR of crypto.

Imagine that, Diddy had the same $PPP Covid Loan Assistance business, named Our Fair Share, as the Crypto Cartel platform Paypie! Both setup in advance to take advantage of the biggest financial corruption event in the History of the World.
EPSTEIN AND DIDDY DIDN’T BANK THEMSELVES
With the recent arrest of P. Diddy
JPMorgan was invested in Diddy’s PPP Loan company and partnered with the National Bankers Association whose CEO is also ex JPMorgan. Now JPM is linked to both Epstein and Diddy!!!
Not only was JPMorgan forced with a $290 million settlement with women who said Jeffrey Epstein abused them, and that the largest U.S. bank turned a blind eye to the late financier’s sex trafficking, JPMorgan was the seed investor in P. Diddy’s “Our Fair Share”.
Our Fair Share provides information and guidance on the SBA PPP loan program to churches, non-profits, independent contractors, and small business owners. They help those who applied for the first time or those who obtained a PPP loan the previous year.
PPP.Paycheck Protection Program.
If you filed for a PPP loan through [P] Diddies racketeering company and you lied to qualify or his company lied on your behalf you will need to lawyer up.

Since the platform formerly known as twitter is now commonly called #Xitter, does that mean tweets are now called #Xits?
“AI” is a marketing term, not a technical term of art.
