Forbes: Trump now worth $6.5B (+$1.4B since taking office).
Don Jr. & Eric Trump each went from ~$40-50M to $300-400M range via crypto. Broader Trump family wealth has nearly doubled to as high as $10 billion
Kamala Harris on Trump: “We are looking at the most callous, corrupt, and incompetent presidential administration we’ve ever experienced. He said on day one he was gonna bring down prices and of course he lied and is doing nothing to concern himself with the well-being of working people of America while he helps all of his rich friends and puts money in his own pocket, trying to run from the Epstein Files all the while”
Bernie Sanders: “I have for several years been trying to stop our government from sending military aid to Israel. A nation which under the leadership of right-wing extremist Benjamin Netanyahu has committed genocide in Gaza, started an illegal and horrific war in Iran, and has been bombing civilian neighborhoods in Lebanon should not be supported by US tax dollars”
Andrew Huberman on why you can't think your way out of stress:
Huberman is asked what he means when he says you cannot control the mind with the mind.
His answer reframes how we should approach stress, anxiety, and emotional regulation entirely.
"If you're very upset, it's hard to talk yourself out of it. If you're stressed, it's hard to think yourself out of it."
He explains that when we're in heightened emotional states, we tend to default to mental strategies, rationalizing, "third personing" ourselves, texting a friend, trying to reason our way back to calm. But according to @hubermanlab, this rarely works:
"It's very hard to get yourself out of those states with thinking alone."
The solution, he argues, lies not in the mind but in the body.
"The beauty of the autonomic nervous system is that it traverses the brain and the body and it connects to essentially all the organs of the body. And it's a two-way street such that certain behaviors, even certain patterns of breathing etc. allow us to shift between very very alert and stressed and very calm."
This two-way street is the key insight. The body doesn't just receive signals from the brain, it also sends them back. Shifting your physiology shifts your mental state, which in turn shifts the kinds of thoughts and actions available to you.
"If you're very very stressed, you're very very upset, two things happen. One, it's very hard to take your focus off whatever it is that's upsetting you. And if you don't know what's upsetting you, you know, pure anxiety, but you don't know why, it's very hard to take your mind off of the feelings of anxiety."
In other words, anxiety hijacks your attention and then traps you there. Trying to think your way out only tightens the grip.
The way out is to move through the body first:
"If we turn to the body and certain behaviors, we are able to move ourselves along the autonomic continuum. And at that point, when we've done that successfully, we are able to think about things differently."
"If you can't control the mind with the mind, look to the body to control the mind."
Bernie Sanders says he finally “learned” why rural Americans overwhelmingly support Trump after speaking to his supporters.
“West Virginia is one of the poorest states in the country. People are struggling there… and you left the meeting understanding that people look at somebody like Trump because there is NO ALTERNATIVE.”
“It’s a complete failure of the Democratic Party not to be able to provide an agenda for the working class of the state of West Virginia.”
“And unfortunately, that’s true in a number of other states as well.”
Tucker Carlson: "I campaigned for him (TRUMP). I mean, we're implicated in this for sure. Yes. It's not enough to say, "Well, I changed my mind," or like, "Oh, this is bad, I'm out"
You and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now ... I wanna say I'm sorry for misleading people in... It was not intentional"
Trump is suing his own IRS for $10 billion — and he’s planning to settle it quickly to avoid going to court.
To be clear: This is a scam to steal $10 billion from taxpayers, while Republicans scream about “fraud.”
