‼️Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said on X that the wallet address, also behind a $13 million win on Trump's 2024 U.S. election, belongs to George Cottrell, an aide to Farage who was previously convicted of wire fraud in the U.S. https://t.co/ldElAjhXYL

51 years ago today, on July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win a #Wimbledon singles title.

I won the Wimbledon women's singles title the same year, and we shared a dance together at the ball.

JD Vance blocked on Twitter because we tweeted the statement he made about Trump 10 years ago--before naked opportunism set in.

“Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.” --JD Vance on Trump

In 1999, Harry Markopolos discovered Bernie Madoff's $65 billion ponzi scheme.

"It took me 5 minutes to know it was a fraud and another 4 hours to do the mathematical modelling to prove it."

"Bernie's performance line only went up, as for the markets they go up and down. He had only 4% down months, it's like a Baseball player hitting 960 in a major league for a year. No one's that good."

It took another 9 years for SEC to finally unravel the Ponzi scheme in 2008 during the global financial crisis.

Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger accused former German chancellor Angela Merkel of deliberately sidelining the country's defense industry, saying she told the company Germany did not need it because "if there is a problem, we call the Americans," Welt reported. Papperger said German arms manufacturers were treated as outcasts before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. He also urged Berlin to speed up defense procurement.

Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars. Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. All we want is clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

This clip, from Larry David's new show "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" is one of his FUNNIEST ever.

Awesome to have Rob Reiner as George Washington in possibly one of his final on-screen performances.

Cameo by Kimmel is chef's kiss.
RIP, Rob Reiner.

Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. https://t.co/KspmgA2mec

As America marks its 250th with misgivings and malaise, how about if we seek inspiration from the Nordic model going forward? I traveled to Scandinavia to understand how these countries achieve prosperity and a high degree of equality -- while also becoming the happiest places on Earth.
As Norway's finance minister, @jensstoltenberg, told me: “We actually live the American dream....The American dream, it’s more reality in the Nordic countries than in America.”
They do have real challenges, and it's not entirely clear that the Nordic model is fully sustainable, let alone replicable. And we're not going to adopt it wholesale. But the US was actually on a similar track in the 1950s and 1960s, so it's not exactly alien. And I argue that in the Nordic model there is much to admire and learn from -- and adopt. Here's a gift link, and I welcome your thoughts: https://t.co/EwuZYSLeuO

I’m reading There Is No Place for Us, and one thing keeps hitting me over and over:

Homelessness is rarely a single event. It’s a cascade.

A cancer diagnosis. A lost job. Postpartum depression. A missed paycheck. A broken car. A ten-week wait for mental health care. An eviction notice.

The system expects people to experience hardship one problem at a time.

Real life doesn’t work that way.

People grieve while paying bills. Parent while searching for apartments. Work while falling apart. And one bad month can erase years of stability.

That’s why this conversation matters so much. Homelessness does not simply mean living on the street. It means motel rooms. Living with relatives. Sleeping on couches. Packing five people into one bedroom. Constantly wondering where you’ll be next month.
