Extremely obvious combing through this who is redacted and why. It's Epstein, Maxwell, a lot of Bill Clinton, maybe Michael Jackson (?) and basically nobody else. Everybody else's head is in a black rectangle. In practice, they didn't release shit.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

Econ 101: if your economy is strong, your central bank might have to raise rates to keep inflation in check.
Our central bank is lowering rates, because our economy is not that strong.

Lutnick: "He's going to pick a new Fed governor, a new Fed chairman, and they're gonna bring rates down. Why does the strongest country in the world have the 34th highest interest rate in the world? It makes no sense."

For Bongino making up conspiracy theories on podcasts with no repercussions for lying was the dream job. Running the FBI and having to prove criminals guilty with actual evidence while your boss demands jail time for people regardless of the facts was not very fun.
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino announced that he’s stepping down from the job. In March, Jonathan Chait wrote about the former right-wing podcaster’s rise to the federal government:
What Does Dan Bongino Believe?
The new FBI deputy director has written that his own agency perpetrated “the greatest scandal in American political history.”

The US is the #1 oil producer in the world. Our next door neighbor and former ally Canada is the world's 4th largest producer of oil. We're swimming in the stuff. So naturally we're going to invade Venezuela to get more.
Going to war for oil was a bad idea in 2003, and is a worse idea now.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.
