@PappyDocEllis @Osint613 Just paying attention and stating an opinion, big guy.

@ManCave72 @Osint613 Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out.

IRAN NEGOTIATIONS RESPONSE WSJ and Al Mayadeen report that Iran is demanding an end to the blockade, unrestricted oil exports, sanctions relief, the release of frozen assets, a ceasefire in Lebanon, and continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. On the nuclear issue, Tehran is offering to dilute part of its enriched uranium and transfer the remainder to a third country, with guarantees it would be returned if talks collapse. Iran wants all negotiations routed through Pakistan and says nuclear talks would begin only after the war ends. The main sticking point may be Lebanon, which Tehran included as part of the broader deal.

@APompliano Uh, ok.

There is something spiritual about living your life with no alcohol, drugs, nicotine, vaping, steroids, peptides, tattoo ink, Botox, lip injections, spray tans, antidepressants, ADHD meds, or melatonin. Nearly impossible in modern society, but aspirationally superior lifestyle.

@PappyDocEllis @Osint613 He underestimated Iran badly and the regime is betting they cant outlast the us economy and call his bluff on an actual ground force invasion. If you think that is “tds” i got nothin for you.

@ManCave72 @Osint613 We’ll see. You’re predicting. And seem to possibly have a strong TDS outlook. What you do to weaken further or defeat an extremist fundamentalist Shia Islamic terrorist regime /Islamic Revolutionary Guard ?

@xAviation Protection details are out there all the time. That doesn't look like part of one, but regardless, their should have been an ops type shutting that down immediately, followed by a visit from the airport pd.

Was the car in front too close to the engine? 📹: ingaviation(IG)

@ESPNCleveland That looks like one of Kevin Stefanski’s goal line plays.

KC working 🔥🔥🔥

@MaryKayCabot I hope he does great, but but holding the ball for six seconds in an NFL pocket doesn't bode well.

#Browns Taylen Green to KC Concepcion over the middle:

@Jennyil @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota I think reaching across race and demographic is important and something we need right now. Yes, it lowers the common denominator a bit, but 90% of the rhetoric never makes policy anyway due to congress. I'm out for the night, I enjoyed the conversation!

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Majority of Boomers vote for Democrats and they are a shrinking portion of the electorate. Majority of white GEN X vote for the GOP every election - why would a DEM candidate focus on their votes when there are more Democratic Millennials?

How did America go from Obama to Trump? Maine Senate candidate @grahamformaine tells @davidsirota it wasn’t some great mystery: Democrats bailed out banks, abandoned working people, and let corporate power keep running the party. Go and listen to the full episode over on The Lever's Youtube channel.

@tradertheory I bet this little shit better returns than I do.

This is who you're trading against.

@Jennyil @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota I think "Ignoring" a quarter of the voting bloc is a bad idea...boomers and genx are about half, with genx/millenials the other. I have never heard a serious politician say it is smart to ignore an entire demographic.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota GEN X - one of the smallest generations and the one that votes against their own interests in the largest numbers making them no longer relevant now that the Millennials have grown up and show up to vote. Smart candidates will ignore you.

@Jennyil @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Personally, I think Bill Maher diagnosed it a long time ago and is dead on. And I'm genx.....and voted for Clintion, Gore, John Kerry, and Obama twice.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Millennials are the largest generation now - they vote for Democrats. Younger voters are too. So it is no longer worth it for serious candidates to chase members of GEN X who are never going to vote for them anyway.

@Jennyil @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota If you think that has been the case the past decade, we can agree to disagree. And voters "hearing what you want to" = lost votes and poor messaging.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Every DEM candidate I hear from leads with their economic policies - some are nonsense but they are at the front of their messaging. That is not always what gets picked up in the press or on social media - so you heard what you wanted to.

Maybe I phrased my original comment poorly....I meant dems stopped leading with the economy as in stopped messaging it. I am an independent but I believe dem policies are better for the economy. My dad (everyone on my street) were hardcore democrat steelworkers....and all that i am aware of voted against their own economic self-interest due to what they perceived as an overly-liberal democratic party. I think many dems agree that the messaging was pretty bad for nearly a decade.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota So the economic policies didn’t matter to you because the social issues pissed you off. It wasn’t that the DEMs were really bad at economics.

@great_martis We were due for a recession even before this run, this will just compound it.

🚨 Extreme Distortion & Dislocation SPX relentlessly ripping higher while equal-weight is abandoned. The same extreme distortion and market dislocation we saw at the dot-com peak a handful of mega-caps masking a weak foundation. Breadth is collapsing. When this fragile structure finally cracks, the fall will be brutal. History doesn’t repeat... but it’s ......... The exact same narrow leadership that preceded the dot-com crash. Yours truly, The Great Martis ✨

The party moved left and pissed people off. I voted for Obama twice, thought he as great and still do. But - in my humble opinion - a lot of blue dog democrats are/were socially conservative and didn't like the stuff I already mentioned, and part shifted quite a bit left. I am far from the only one to say this. People tend to vote on emotion and social issues get emotional for both sides. Just my opinion.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Rescuing the Teamsters retirement pension fund was focusing on social issues?

@Osint613 The IRGC and Trump is like watching the f'ing Superbowl of shit talk.

Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force: “The Aerospace Force’s missiles and drones are locked onto the enemy, and we are awaiting the order to launch.”

I still remember the backlash when President Obama did the transgender bathroom policy in schools in 2016 and to me it seems like the part swung left from there...cancel culture, "social justice." cultural appropriation faux rage, gender identity, etc. A lot of socially conservative democrats (and independents) said enough is enough. Just how I personally see it.

@ManCave72 @LeverNews @grahamformaine @davidsirota Social issues like what??

@mirandadevine How do lunatic liberals possibly justify dumb shit like this.

Liberal woman who refused to cooperate with prosecutors after maniac attacked her on subway weeks before he pushed retired NYC teacher to death has regrets: "Maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail." nypost.com/2026/05/08/us-…

They either want retail investors and "community" or they don't. And from how bad they suck at both, it appears they don't. Johann's communication is borderline incompetent, which is fine save for all the bullshit promises, insinuations, and predictions he has made for years. This project changes course twice a year, which tells me they are desperately chasing any exposure they can get, which also tells me his line of shit about "we have amazing partnerships but sorry, NDA" is just that. This project reeks of shit talk with a struggling ability to tangibly back it up.

$QANX community devs welcome the latest news. People who have built visible apps and engaged throughout the process are the opinions you should seek. Johann may not know how to talk to retail, but obviously he knows how to engage enterprise and government. It is frustrating as a retail holder that the team can't quite figure out how to share news and manage expectations at this stage. The news is positive, Johann is thrilled, and yet it doesn't provide the substance or assurance that these agreements strengthen the prospects without further delay. It has to be disappointing for everyone involved that this news had a negative result. There must be someone who can provide feedback before communications go out. As an FYI, the follow up questions give us mainnet ETA of 2026.
