Jeremy was a great person. And a close friend. When we heard about it last week all our friends were devastated. The world lost an amazing human. Just terrible! Rest in Peace Jeremy 💔

Tragic news in the VC community:

Jeremy Solomon, a partner w/ Nyca Partners, died last week after a biking accident.

Per the firm: In lieu of flowers or food, the family requests that donations in Jeremy's honor be made to Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester, where he and his family are actively engaged.

Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats

Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more”

“California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs”

This is what we need. Huge companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth

It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California

Let me explain what just happened 👇

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes…

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.

This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.

This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.

You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.

Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.

The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

[David Spector @dspector]

@msuster Nailed it spot on I thought the exact same thing when I saw the headline today in the WSJ

[David Spector @dspector]

@jimgoetz Nailed it Jim. DTV smiling!

Mind. Blown.

How did Israel gather so much intelligence on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior regime officials?

According to the Financial Times, nearly all of the Iranian capital’s traffic cameras had been hacked years earlier, their footage encrypted and transmitted to Israeli servers. One camera angle near Pasteur Street, close to Khamenei’s compound, allowed analysts to observe the routines of bodyguards and drivers: where they parked, when they arrived and whom they escorted.

All my small plane pilot friends are big mad at @starlink today. Their plans just went up 5X in price overnight, and the data included went from 100GB to 20GB.

I know it's a small group of people, but this is causing many to cancel this service as it's now cost-prohibitive especially with the lower bandwidth service.

Starlink was a complete game-changer for being connected from a small plane, and I think it would be cool if they left it where it was so normal folks in piston aircraft could enjoy it, and reserve the higher-price tiers for turbine aircraft speeds, 300+mph.

It's got to be the tiniest revenue difference for SpaceX either way, but it's a world of difference for safety and connectivity to the American general aviation fleet of small planes.
