...wow, @StephanieKelton is actually a real person?

This seemed like satire, but she was (and is) extremely serious.
...debasing the world's current reserve currency because "deficits" are actually positives...is an exceptional level of gaslighting.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri just wrote 1,240 words on how AI will affect Instagram creators and social media.
Here are 9 takeaways:
1. By 2026, “authenticity” will be infinitely reproducible: deepfakes and AI media will look real.
2. The internet already shifted power from institutions to individuals; creators gained trust as institutions declined.
3. AI will produce far more content than humans capture, including high-quality “synthetic” media that soon feels real.
4. As synthetic content floods feeds, true authenticity becomes scarce, increasing demand for trusted creators.
5. The success bar moves from “can you create?” to “can you make something only YOU could make?”
6. Because polish is cheap (AI + phone cameras), a raw, imperfect aesthetic becomes a credibility signal (“proof”).
7. People will shift from assuming media is real to default skepticism, focusing more on who posted and why.
8. Platforms will be pressured to label AI content, but detection will get harder…a better approach may be fingerprinting real media at capture (cryptographic signing).
9. Instagram should evolve with better creator tools, clearer AI labeling, real-media verification, richer account context/credibility signals, and stronger ranking for originality.
🇳🇬 ANOTHER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL RAIDED IN NIGERIA - 52 CHILDREN ABDUCTED
Armed men stormed a Catholic school in Niger State, abducting dozens of children and staff, just days after 25 girls were taken from a school in nearby Kebbi.
Local reports say 52 kids are missing.
Authorities had intelligence this could happen. It happened anyway.
How many more schools need to be hit before someone actually stops this?

HOT FINANCIAL THREAD INCOMING🧵
🚨 BREAKING: The Trump admin is moving to allow private equity & hedge funds access to your 401(k).
Sounds like “diversification,” right?
Look closer—this is about propping up a struggling financial sector and rebalancing the federal balance sheet without calling it a bailout.
Elon Musk is rightfully upset. He spent a lot of time and energy on DOGE.
Congress didn’t take him seriously. He sacrificed a lot. And we should all be really mad about this.
However, the battle isn’t with President Trump. He is doing the best he can given two branches revolt and don’t care about anyone but themselves and their pockets.
The big banks want to embrace bitcoin and crypto assets.
They will lend against them and eventually custody them as well.
Bitcoin brings them new clients, new assets, and new revenue.
Bank account records show Senator Lindsey Graham is laundering money from the Ukraine war back into his personal bank accounts
CIA Officer says it’s “significant amounts of money” being laundered back to Senator Lindsey Graham
“Let me say something about Senator Graham. There will be news coming out in the next couple of months about how he has profited financially off of money that came out of Ukraine, laundered through Latvia and made it way into his bank account. And now we're talking significant amounts of money. Department of justice is looking at it.
Those are serious allegations leveled by CIA officer, former CIA officer Larry Johnson.“
It’s insincere for @SpeakerJohnson to insinuate @elonmusk is against the Big Beautiful Bill because it doesn’t benefit his companies specifically.
Musk is a true America First entrepreneur who could have had a much more comfortable existence and a higher net worth by sitting on the sidelines of politics. But he cares about this country, so he got involved. He knows if America collapses financially, we aren’t making it to Mars. He’s right.
When he helped cut government waste he watched his dealerships get firebombed, he stood for free speech by sponsoring a social media platform and in return the Biden administration brought half a dozen bogus cases against him, he provided the rural broadband that politicians continually failed to provide with endless taxpayer boondoggles, he revolutionized automobiles after conventional car manufacturers got bailed out for their failures, and he gave our astronauts a way to the space station without hitching a ride on Russian rockets.
For the sake of our country, I hope he will stay engaged in politics. If he doesn’t, I don’t blame him. But I’ll be here in DC trying to keep politicians of both parties from stopping the amazing human progress that he and his engineers have enabled and will enable.
