So the thing to know about these guys is that 1/10 people who claim to have lost “all” their crypto actually lost all their crypto; many will lose their trading stack and then pretend they lost it all and then get people to send them pity coins, because crypto is broken on basically every level

So when will someone finally run who’s willing to critic post-9/11 legislation and the expansion of executive powers? Not with reckless populism and conspiracies, but through thoughtful, meaningful reform. Literally feels like there's no one out there made for this moment. I'll keep doom scrolling..

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
