Coco Gauff addresses the new genetic sex testing policy in the Women's Tennis Association.
"I understand the reasoning behind it. I do think that this kind of conversation has created a lot of animosity towards the trans community, which I'm not really a big fan of. But I also understand the need to I guess the biological difference and the need to protect that and preserve that...
"Yes, I guess I kind of agree of trying to protect the fairness in women's sports, but I also do not like the attack that it is creating. People who don't really care but just want to use this as an excuse to attack the trans community, so I'm not really a big fan of that either...
"I definitely support the trans community, but I also support the need of creating fairness in sport too."
This is the default response to open corruption by most of American pundit class - Wiesenthal, Silver, etc. Detached, cynical quips. None of these people reacted to the massive scale of insider trading revealed just days ago. This is how a nation rots.
Within one 24 hour period, Trump:
- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion
All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.
But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."
Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.
He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

MORE - I’m told the potential commission tasked with approving payouts to Trump allies will likely be called, ‘The President Donald J. Trump Truth and Justice Commission,’ and the total amount available in the fund will be… $1.776 billion.
I love playing peer-to-peer games. In theory, betting sports on prediction markets is peer-to-peer.
In reality, a lot of the people "market making" (aka booking) at scale on prediction markets are among the best and most sophisticated sports bettors. FanDuel, and tons of other books, are battling these market makers for your action.
Hopefully no one actually thinks they're betting against Joe from the deli.
@310Ventures@HenryWilliams74@mcuban@claudeai You're insane dude. The league moved past this in like 2010. I could name a dozen dudes over the last decade that forced their way onto their preferred team
Last year, Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup at a $200 million valuation.
Then three months later, the US government announced a huge loan backstop for the company and now it's worth around $2 billion.

Lutnick had said, "I decided [in 2005] I will never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn't going."
He just admitted visiting Epstein's island in 2012:
"in the six to eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.”
Lutnick on Epstein, Oct. 1, 2025
According to legal documents and emails, Epstein and Lutnick did business together and Lutnick vacationed on Epstein’s island,
LONG AFTER Lutnick claims they parted ways and after LONG AFTER Epstein was a known sex offender.
Trump on Epstein Files: Now that nothing came about me—I think it’s time for the country to get on to something that people care about.
Collins: What would you say to the people who say they haven’t gotten justice?
Trump: You are the worst reporter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile.
Collins: I’m asking about survivors
Trump: You know why you’re not smiling? Because you’re not telling the truth. Your dishonest organization should be ashamed of you.
So now he’s attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she’s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.
