I'm a reporter covering the intersection between digital assets (cryptocurrencies) and policy/regulations. I'm part of the newsroom that broke the FTX story, Trump's crypto project, and crypto's financial role in the US elections this year. I suspect this beat will suddenly be far more relevant now.
always post and repost without fear about what u are proud of creating here
your people here will never shame u for this
i am truly sorry for all the book posts. it's a mix of panic and genuinely believing it's a good book. i dunno. im doing my best.
I am once again begging people not to hold sensitive business phone calls on the train

Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.
