One thing I'll say about the book, it confirms one of the biggest stories I've ever worked on. The one about sabotage missions inside Russia. Many of you told me I was wrong. I looked right back and said, fuck you, you're wrong.

The arbitrage opportunities for Northern Ireland will be mind-boggling.
US impose 10% tariff on the UK, 20% on EU. Nothing to do with deals, but probably at the lower end of what either were expecting. Add in auto tariffs 25% on top presumably though.

You would assume that the development of a senior DOGE figure - a young cybersecurity engineer - briefly becoming a Fannie Mae board member would be seen as a bigger story/mystery with more attention from Congress. But I guess not

Fascinating look at how deeply surveilled we all are and how dogged law enforcement can follow the tiniest bread crumbs to capture perpetrators they prioritize.
