Misleading financial advice gets 70% more views. That may be the entire problem. Finfluencers get paid for attention. Platforms get paid for engagement. Promoters get paid for customers. The investor is the only one who needs the advice to actually work. My latest for @Barchart: barchart.com/story/news/4702…

Scoop from WaPo colleagues: More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly washingtonpost.com/national-…

And people actually wonder why the Clarity Act didn’t pass. It’s not because of the democrats, it’s because Trump is historically grifting while the American people are struggling. Trump is and has always put himself over America! Wake up @NateGeraci @Matt_Hougan @egragcrypto

Bloomberg News: “President Donald Trump has traded more securities than every member of Congress combined since he returned to office — even as he seeks to pass a stock-purchasing ban for lawmakers that would exclude him from any restrictions.” bloomberg.com/graphics/2026-…

Trump failed America AGAIN! Chose grift over Ethics and tanked the Clarity Act! Congrats MAGA, you continue to hold back America while burning down the rest of the world

The American tourist who filmed Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton in London with his mistress during the 4th of July has revealed Paxton allegedly assaulted him during the encounter.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

BREAKING: During his speech today, Donald Trump recounted helping save Titanic victims: “I saved more people than anybody, many people, the best people. I said, ‘Turn left, Captain. Very simple. Very easy.’ He didn’t listen. I know icebergs. Nobody knows icebergs better than me.”

Reagan launched his 1979 primary bid for the GOP nomination with an extended call for free immigration, free trade, and political integration with Mexico and Canada, where "peoples and commerce of its three strong countries flow freely across their present borders."

Four-stars all non-concurring with prolonging operations against Iran as they are into 2027, per this @washingtonpost exclusive: Caudle Grynkewich Donovan Paparo

Secretary Marco Rubio: You have just lost any trust Venezuelans ever had on you, and it will come to haunt you. You opted to use US power, not to free Venezuelans, but to go to bed with our oppressors. You opted to push an asset grab, an unconstitutional deal with an illegitimate oppressive government, instead of using US leadership to re-establish constitutional rule and democracy first, and then deal with a legitimate government that could have made credible long-term commitments, in due course. This announced deal will not stand. Delcy, contrary to what you boss just stated [see below] is not "highly respected" by any Venezuelan I know, or by any American outside of the Mar-a-lago kleptocracy. She has no legitimacy or constitutional power to commit Venezuela to any such deal. Venezuelans will not respect this illegitimate deal and no major US oil company will take it seriously because they know it will not last. No wonder you are using wanted criminals - like Alejandro Betancourt - to make this shameful deal. You are also preventing our leader - Maria Corina Machado - from returning to Venezuela, and you have conspired to delay elections and the return to democracy. Shameful.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent on Monday: "The US is launching the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary" and a "major financial institution" is expected to be sanctioned this week over Iran. Bessent today, on Friday: Started a 30-day process to block dollar wiring at one Egyptian bank’s UAE branches, and blacklisted a Dubai branch manager plus a small Hong Kong shell company. The bank itself remains fully unsanctioned and can still conduct legal business. An unprecedented TACO.

INTEL: Investors in Trump-linked crypto ventures are at least $4.7B underwater while Trump-related entities made over $1.4B, Public Citizen estimates

Now gas prices are lower! We’ve ended the war with Iran on terms favorable to the United States! Grocery prices have gone down! Oh wait. No. This is a distraction for MAGA morons.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Trump Tower is renamed to NATALIE TOWER!

Can we get K Black off the field 🤦‍♂️ @ButcherBoy415 @DDDGURU @sportslarryk @dieter

🚨 This is a must-read piece from @JVLast about the bizarre backstory of Natalie Harp and how her too-good-to-be-true tale about Trump saving her from cancer was crafted and revised in hopes of getting attention in the MAGA media ecosystem The fact her biography is a fabrication probably helps explain why she's resisted trying to get a security clearance thebulwark.com/p/trump-and-n…

More: #49ers owner Jed York originally charged w/ engaging in prostitution. Amended to "disorderly conduct," and plea of "no contest.” Arrested at Wheat Hill Mobile Home Park on Sunday morning (about 20 miles from his hometown of Youngstown). @nbcbayarea

Here we go again, some stupid Trump officials open their mouths and crypto markets tank. F all these 🤡

Another dumb trade fiasco by Trump: More than 30%of Ohio’s exports go to Canada, and almost 40%of Michigan’s. Both states have Senate and Governor races.
