The House is scheduled to vote this week on a National Defense Authorization that would integrate our military tech & supply chains with Israel’s.
Today, the Rules Committee will decide whether my amendment to strip section 219 will get a vote.
RT to support the Massie amdt.!
@RepDianaDeGette Donald Trump saying he is not worried about inflation is like you saying I support Joe Biden after his horrible “sunset” debate. Bad choices all around. You two are part of the problem. We need someone that shows us the solution.
@ChrisMurphyCT Quit with the politics and gotcha. Root cause…he is doing exactly what all you Congressmen are doing. It all needs to be shutdown. I’ll look forward to seeing an ethics bill that shuts ALL insider trading down with ALL politicians.
🚨 Can you identify this woman?
Twice in the past two weeks, the honor-system sourdough farmstand Gone Astray Goods in Loveland, Colorado, has been targeted by the same woman. She was caught on surveillance video stealing fresh breads, jams, and oatmeal crème pies.
Stephanie Courville—a hardworking pregnant mother who bakes artisan sourdough loaves, cinnamon rolls, and homemade treats from scratch each week to support her family—is heartbroken.
This theft strikes directly at a small family business trying to earn an honest living. Stephanie already has identifying information on the woman and is actively pursuing leads, but she needs community help. If you recognize this woman or have any relevant video footage or details about similar thefts, please email Stephanie at [email protected].
If you support family-run stands, please share this post widely to help identify her and prevent further incidents.
Thank you for standing with hardworking local entrepreneurs. 💔 🍞
‼️🇺🇸: DON HUFFINES ZORRO RANCH OWNER ORDERED TO HALT 'CONSTRUCTION' FOR NOT HAVING PERMITS 👀
Don Huffines who chose to do construction instead of search for bodies at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch has been ordered to cease construction on the property for not having the proper permits.
So they were in such a rush, they didn't pull permits like they should have?
And THIS is who is running for Comptroller in Texas? 🤔😬
@Hickenlooper You seem to be very communicative on issues lately which I am a fan of. However, the most immediate issue of the US-Iran conflict you have avoided. Why is that sir? 🧐 Respect America and our military men and women. CO does not want a war. Return AIPACs 1.9M.
If you changed your last name after marriage and don’t have an updated US passport or birth certificate, the SAVE Act (aka SAVE 2.0) will stop you from voting. Millions of women lack these docs. Call your Senators—VOTE NO (202) 224-3121
Voter suppression is not ok.
GM. All of the breathless hand wringing on market structure . . .
Steady lads. Delaying the committee markup is actually good for crypto given the state of deliberations. It’s competent negotiation.
Roger Fisher and William Ury — the Harvard Negotiation Project founders behind Getting to Yes — explained decades ago that power in any negotiation comes from “your Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement”. In simple terms, the side that can most easily walk away has the leverage. If you need the deal more than the other side, you get squeezed.
Chris Voss, the former FBI hostage negotiator (@fbinegotiator ), says the same thing in modern terms: you don’t get leverage by wanting the deal — you get leverage by making the other side fear losing it. (Read his book! Enjoyable and eye-opening!)
That’s exactly where crypto is right now.
Pushing forward with a markup would have required further backsliding to achieve compromises that would permanently weaken U.S. crypto competitiveness. By slowing the process, the sponsors and the industry is signaling something critical: we’re not desperate.
And we simply aren’t! We can live with the status quo longer than the other side can live with no coherent framework, regulatory ambiguity, capital flight, and innovation moving offshore.
Congress is under pressure from constituents, markets, and global competition to get this right. Crypto, by contrast, already operates globally. It has alternatives. It has a pretty good couple of years ahead at the very least without this bill. That’s a strong BATNA. And it helps to pause and make everyone recognize that.
So the delayed markup isn’t a failure — I see so many silly tweets sneeringly eulogizing the bill.
It’s leverage, people. It tells lawmakers that some things aren’t able to pass right now. No one is desperate. The bill will finally move BECAUSE it’s clear the industry is willing to walk.
Feeling generous to start the new year, so we loaded up a fresh wallet and decided to give it away.
