While lobbyists in Gucci loafers argue about whether or not stablecoin issuers can transmit 2% yield (excuse me, “rewards”) from Treasuries to their customers, $STRC and $SATA are offering dividend yields of 11.5% and 13%, respectively.

.@RepThomasMassie hey, maybe you will actually get something passed one day

Maybe one day the Libertarian Party will actually accomplish something

It’s very interesting how Democrat Congressman Eugene Vindman @YVindman, the Ukrainian Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi relied on to impeach President Trump during Trump’s first term, told the same lies as Ro Khanna @RoKhanna during the House Armed Services Committee hearing this week. Vindman told @SecWar @PeteHegseth that “Trump betrayed his voters” by striking Iran. Hegseth replied by saying it’s always been President Trump’s promise to voters that he would *never* allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Earlier this week, Ro Khanna told a very similar lie centered around President Trump “betraying his base” by striking Iran. Like Vindman, Khanna also has a checkered past embracing “Get Trump” policies, and he has recently associated with Hasan Piker @hasanthehun, a Muslim Communist who called for Trump’s death. I doubt it’s a coincidence that arguably the biggest “Get Trumpers” in Congress repeated the same lie in the same hearing while sitting near each other. The script has clearly been sent out!

@PeterMcCormack If that silly little socialist had ever built anything, his tune would be different

Here is another stupid take by a silly little socialist. They are two separate businesses. I don't take a wage from the coffee shop despite owning and operating it at the senior level. There is no money left to pay me. I do it out of love. The costs of the podcast are paid out of the profits of the podcast, which is a good little business. But the interesting point here is that he thinks all the profit being generated by the workers should go to them. But the silly little socialists can't fathom the following: 1. I took the risk to open the coffee shop - the £120k refurb, the 10 year lease, the business plan and the risk. My reward for the risk if the profits if it works, which I can share with the staff if I choose. 2. But even if we take the silly little socialist mildly seriously (we shouldn't, he's a dumb dumb), if the business fails and is losing money, should we blame the workers and should it be deducted from their salary? This is why these silly little revolutionaries should not be taken seriously. Firstly they don't understand economics, second they are fundamentally stupid, third their model is based on envy, fourth they have no answer to the coordination problem. I could go on, probably not worth it as you can't reason with silly little socialists.

Tim Walz could have been our Vice President. Tomorrow he is campaigning with a literal Nazi. I can’t stress enough how dangerous the Democrat Party is.

When she goes to events, you demand she stays home. When she stays home, you question her motives. Whether she laughs, cries, or shows anger, it’s always too much or not enough. Erika’s not only ruthlessly condemned, she’s relentlessly mocked as if she’s not a real person navigating massive loss. Yes, she’s a public figure, and as such she will receive critiques and questions. But if you can’t do that without hostility, without dehumanizing her, you’ve got a soul-level sickness that needs to be addressed.

If your degree can’t beat a high school salary in 4 years, no more tax money. Same if your grad degree can’t beat a BA. That would wipe out half of majors. And if universities can’t fix it, 80% go bankrupt.

Oil has dozens of global suppliers. When one source gets disrupted, others fill the gap. Domestic rare earth alloys are different. There is no backup supplier. There is no strategic reserve. If rare earth alloys disappeared tomorrow, the F-35 production line at Lockheed Martin would go silent. EVs stop rolling off the line. Missile guidance systems, radar arrays, wind turbines - all of it depends on permanent magnets made from rare earth metals that almost no one outside China can produce. We still cannot imagine the scale of the problem and the concentration of rare earth manufacturing in China. It isn't 30% or 50%; it goes above 90%. Neodymium surged to the $130-150/kg range in China, while quoted metal prices outside China were already around $220/kg. Dysprosium prices in China hit the ~$240–250/kg range in March. Terbium is now holding in the $1,000-1,100/kg range, and at a multiple of every other rare earth used in high-performance magnets. Outside of China, everyone’s paying a massive premium for rare earths. Europe and the U.S. are sometimes paying 2.5-3X of these prices. Neodymium moves closer to the $210-$200 range, while Terbium and Dysprosium shoot through the roof, towards $900/kg for Dysprosium and over $4,000/kg for Terbium, depending on its form. @realloys NASDAQ: $ALOY is the only rare earths manufacturer that is not building into China prices, but into the premium outside China. REalloys operates a facility in Euclid, Ohio, with 30 years of metallurgy expertise, active Pentagon contracts, and a proven capability in the Western Hemisphere to metallize rare earths Their operations are scaling, especially around their partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), which is building North America's first fully integrated, commercial rare earth processing facility. And they are still the only ones ready for January 1, 2027, when new U.S. defense procurement rules under DFARS and 10 U.S.C. §4872 take effect. After that date, Chinese-origin rare earth materials cannot be used in American defense systems. Pay attention.

Trump wants to end student loans for junk degrees. Taxpayers spend at least $60 billion a year on the 57% of degrees that lose money. And with AI coming, young people can't coast on a zero-skill sheepskin.

@niubi @gladstein A totally g•y response

"In Germany’s case, Chancellor Friedrich Merz was notified but authorities determined it would be problematic to have Lai land in Frankfurt on an official aircraft, people familiar with the matter said. After learning Germany was considering Taiwan’s request, Beijing made calls to officials in Berlin pressuring them to deny Lai’s transit, according to the people."
