CRAZY: The FBI just unsealed a complaint against a 19-year-old accused of helping plan Sunday's White House UFC attack.
Per the affidavit, he picked congressional targets by who took "pro-Israel" money. He named Marsha Blackburn because she'd "taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby."
Then he sent photos of four more — the entire West Virginia delegation — that the FBI says "appear to have been taken from TrackAIPAC."
In other words, a terror cell used TrackAIPAC's content as raw material for a kill list.
I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

This is heavy but important.
An Israeli combat medic named Daniel Elbo Arama shares what he saw treating a young woman right after the October 7 attacks.
She was barely clothed, covered in blood, and begged him for help.
In the ambulance she told him she had been raped by four terrorists. The bleeding was so bad they had to use medications normally given for gunshot wounds. She needed hours of surgery afterward.
Daniel has worked in emergency response for twenty years, including in conflict zones, but he says this day will stay with him forever.
Raw testimony like this shows exactly what happened that day.
We can’t forget.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

$ETH midday check
ETH is sitting near $1.65K.
Not pretty, but not broken.
The level is still simple:
Hold $1,600 and ETH is trying to base.
Reclaim $1,750 and the chart starts healing.
Lose $1,600 and the $1,500-$1,550 zone probably comes back fast.
The real story is Tom Lee and $BMNR.
BMNR officially holds 5,543,872 ETH, or 4.59% of total supply.
Since that update, on-chain trackers have flagged another 25K ETH buy, then another 75K ETH from Kraken/FalconX.
If confirmed, that would put BMNR around 5,643,872 ETH.
The 5% target is about 6.035M ETH.
So BMNR may now be only about 391K ETH away from “Alchemy of 5%.”
At today’s ETH price, that gap is roughly $645M.
That is the interesting part.
The chart still looks stressed.
ETF flows are choppy.
ETH/BTC still has not confirmed a real turn.
But BMNR keeps buying into weakness and getting closer to controlling 5% of Ethereum supply.
Retail is waiting for ETH to look safe.
Tom Lee appears to be buying before it looks safe.
The next confirmation is still price:
$ETH above $1,750
ETH/BTC turning up
ETF inflows returning consistently
Until then, ETH is not in full bull mode.
But the accumulation signal is getting louder.
I think we go a little higher, then lower than we've seen so far. I think BTC will bottom out around 50, ETH around 12.
But these prices are great long term too
Nearly 1.2 million Jews live in Spain, France, the UK, and Canada. They are among the most educated, productive, peaceful and engaged communities in those countries, yet many face antisemitism, intimidation, and threats. The feckless leaders of those countries — beholden to Islamists and radical left extremists in their political coalitions— are unwilling to defend them.
The U.S. should be prepared to welcome large numbers of Jewish refugees. Israel should likewise stand ready to fulfill its historic role as a refuge for Jews worldwide.
These communities would strengthen whichever country they call home. Their loss would be profound for the countries that failed to protect them. And a big gain for America and Israel.
