I’m intent on learning more about cryptocurrency, cybercrime and hacking. Pau Krugman is, as with so many other topics, an excellent source of news and analysis. The NYT was foollish to piss him off to the extent he decided to go indy.

On September 4, 1866, President Andrew Johnson set the precedent for Trump’s latest outrage: In Cleveland, Ohio, Johnson called those who opposed his plan for reversing the Union’s Civil War victory (by reinstating and nationalizing the Confederacy) “traitors” and called for them to be hanged.

I'm no economist, but is Nvidia making huge profits really evidence that there isn't an AI bubble, when so much of the insane spending on AI goes right to Nvidia? It's like saying "How can there be a bubble when this tulip farmer is making so much money?"

So the IGM party now favors single-payer health coverage for all Americans so we can stop enriching health insurance companies and be fair to the taxpayer? Gee, that sounds sincere. And all we need to do is what? Oh: Deprive existing policyholders of coverage while we work out the details?
At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

At least Trump is coming back to DC early from his golf trip to Palm Beach so he can attend a football game while pressuring them to name the stadium after him.

He’s always working hard to improve our lives.

The Washington Commanders should definitely rename their stadium after Trump since the Trumpification of the Kennedy Center has worked out so well.

They weren't terrorists. They weren't cartel members. They had no fentanyl. And they weren't coming here.

They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad.

Most importantly, they were human beings.

And they were murdered.

Haven’t seen much of Stephen Miller after he did his big media tour promoting Republican candidates leading up to Tuesday’s elections. Hopefully they are just saving him to be the face of the Republican Party for the midterms.
